In the north of the country on the saddle between the Mojanda Massif and the extinct volcano, Cusin, a beautiful panoramic view of the Andes opens up. Surrounded by the Cordillera mountains, and with the snowy peaks of Cotacachi (4939 m) and Taita Imbabura (4660 m) towering above, you see the shimmering surface of lake San Pablo. The gentle foothills of these four volcanoes are covered with a patchwork of small plots sown with maize and grain crops. This area is the home of the Otavalenos Indians, known world-wide for their textile handicrafts.
The studio is a high light room with an area of over 30 square metres, minimally furnished to allow flexibility to individual needs. Open-plan, with a fully equipped kitchen, including 'fridge. Shower/WC. There is also a bedroom with double bed and a fireplace and an additional shower/WC.
This accommodation, with its secluded inner courtyard, is particularly suitable for a creative, meditative or therapeutic stay. It is in an old building that has recently been renovated.
In a new building is a spacious apartment on one level. This consists of a living room with fireplace, furnished with rattan furniture, and open to the kitchen, with refrigerator. There is also a room with double bed, bunk-beds, and a shower/WC. In addition, there is a bed-sofa in the living room.
This apartment is especially suitable for families with children because the children can run directly from the apartment to a playground with swing, slide sand-box, etc.
Also in a new building is a small apartment on one floor. This has a large living room with a sleeping area with a double-bed, shower/WC. A small kitchen with refrigerator is in the hallway.
It was a matter of great concern to me in my small paradise that no-one should be excluded from anything. This means that the buildings are generously proportioned and that the whole area, the apartments and bathrooms are totally wheelchair accessible.
