Casa Montalvo Bed & Breakfast

We enjoyed our stay for 3 nights in the king suite. The room was extra large with comfortable bed and bedding. There were excellent amenities and I particularly liked a luggage rack and full length mirror. Breakfast was delicious with daily variety. The garden courtyard is beautiful and peaceful. Wilmer was our host and was very helpful and friendly. The B&B was secure and located in a very convenient location.

We stayed at Casa Montalvo in Cuenca for 2 nights. It’s a quiet place and close to main square, restaurants, the market and museums. The owner, Señora Sonia, is a great host and was attentive to our needs. The house has a charming ambience and comfortable. The garden is beautiful and a place to relax. It gives one the impression of being at home. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The historical center, museums, and markets are within a walking distance. We highly recommend Casa Montalvo.

I stayed at Casa Montalvo for 9 days and was consistently impressed. Sonia, the host, is incredibly hospitable and friendly, making me feel like family and even giving tours of her home and the city. Her warmth and care set Casa Montalvo apart from other places I've stayed, and she even taught me some Spanish! The house is beautifully decorated by Sonia and her brother Fausto, filled with Sonia’s artwork, with a lovely garden patio. It’s conveniently located near restaurants, churches, stores, museums, and parks. I had the largest room with a comfortable king bed, cleaned daily by Angelica with fresh towels always provided, and the water pressure and heater worked perfectly. Breakfast was a highlight, prepared daily by Sonia with fresh ingredients, and we enjoyed long chats with great recommendations for activities and restaurants. This stay was filled with joy and memorable experiences. Thank you, Sonia, for your exceptional hospitality and making me feel at home!

We had the most amazing time in Cuenca at this B&B. Sonia is the best host. She was so helpful with hints and recommandations for our stay. The hotel itself is breathtaking, it gives the impression to enter an oasis in the city. It is luminous, smells amazing (yes you read right) and the decor is extremely well though and classy, lots of antiquities, and warm. The cleanliness is impeccable and this was the only hotel during our 2 weeks trip that would clean our room and provide us with fresh towels everyday. Sonia is an elegant and adorable woman who makes us delicious and healthy breakfasts. We would come back FOR SURE and if there is availability, don't look further and choose this amazing B&B, you won't be disapointed.

Casa Montalvo is a beautiful B&B, where you feel right at home. Sonia, the host, is a wonderful lady with exquisite taste. The home is a renovated colonial home. Each room is decorated with perfectly-preserved-antique furniture of the highest quality. The house is a retreat as well as a mini museum. It is difficult not to admire every piece of furniture and decor perfectly curated around the house. The rooms are comfortable and different parts of the home can be enjoyed by guests like the traditional colonial backyard and garden in the back of the house, which houses multiple flowers and fruit trees. ||The location of this B&B is very central and allows you to explore the city of Cuenca by foot or by requesting a taxi. ||Sonia offers a natural and delicious breakfast to jumpstart your day. ||When in Cuenca, we will certainly stay in this hotel again. It was simply wonderful!!

Casa Montalvo Bed & Breakfast is absolute gem hidden in Cuenca, Ecuador. The rooms are clean & comfortably, staff is amazing, and breakfast is the best in town. Ms. Sonia is an amazing host and I hope to come back soon.

We visit Cuenca a few times every year and this has become our go to hotel in El Centro. Cuenca has many little boutique hotels with historic architecture and personal service. ||Casa Montalvo is just a cut above the rest. Sonia‘s personal service is warm and welcoming and, even though this hotel is right in the heart of downtown, it is amazingly peaceful. And, the thing that really sets it apart is the little garden out back where you can sit and enjoy coffee or tea, read a book, or just contemplate life.

The house is a bit better than ok. Other hotels in Cuenca look a lot better…. However… the owner was great! She was so nice and so helpful. Instantly you feel safe and think of this place as your home. Obviously, she deserves 5 stars. In conclusion, great experience!!!
