Haciendas Andean Highlands

Ever since its construction around 1730 as the manor house of what was then a large estate only a few kilometres away from the colonial city of Quito, Hacienda Chillo-Jijón has always been a residence to the same family.

Built by the Marquees of Miraflores and enlarged a century later by the Marquees of San José, the Hacienda has seen a lot of the country's history happen amongst its walls. For over 120 years, until 1975, the Hacienda was also home to one of the largest and oldest textile mills in the Andes.

The Jijón family, who inherited the property on maternal line around 1850, has contributed -generation after generation- to the embellishment and restoration of this unique country house.

Hacienda Chillo-Jijón is not open to the general public and operates by previous reservation only, for a maximum party of 20 guests.

Everything at the Hacienda is included in the program while you are a guest here: lodging, all meals, all drinks, laundry services, and room service is always available.

Hacienda Chillo-Jijón offers the tranquility of its colonial corridors and patios, the shade of its 20 acres of private and exotic gardens and woods, its fully stocked bar and salons, and the warmth of its private fireplace suites.

Tennis, and bicycling available, and horseback riding can be arranged with previous notice.
