Guapulo
The lofts are located in Guapulo; a historic quarter adjacent to the elegant and modern neighborhood of Gonzalez Suarez. Guapulo is a place of striking beauty, history and tradition.

This unique location lets you experience life in a colonial neighborhood with easy access to all the amenities and excitement of a modern city. Renowned for a bohemian and artsy lifestyle, Guápulo has inspired artists for years. Many generations of families live in Guapulo, and they have created and maintain a rich cultural life with traditional celebrations throughout the year. Guests can get a taste of the local customs by participating in the Guapulo festival every September, a colorful celebration complete with costumes, parade, food, drink, songs, and dance.
The lofts are immersed in an oasis of natural beauty and amenities which the visitor can discover on foot. You can walk the cobblestone streets where you will find Spanish colonial homes.

The Residence
The lofts are located in a splendid three-story house situated on the slopes of a mountain. The impressive hilltop location affords spectacular, sweeping 360° views that stretch literally for miles including the stunning Guapulo church and its plaza framed by the surrounding Andes Mountains.
The house is divided into six lofts. Living in a house with only six apartments offers privacy and tranquility while the shared common space helps foster a sense of living with neighbors.
The house can only be called an architectural dream. The exteriors of this fine residence have been immaculately designed to very high standards by its architect owner. Every detail of the residence has been done with total respect for nature, and the old Spanish colonial architecture with a distinctive Ecuadorean heritage. The first thing you will note is the elegant details that have gone into the decor; the arched brick windows, wrought-iron details, stone walls, and hand-made bricks result in a wonderful integration of natural materials and carefully selected features. While their exteriors have retained their historical charm, the interiors are designed to fulfill the necessities of modern life. The residence is certainly a rare treasure.
