COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE
Your horse drawn carriage clip clops you through the narrow streets of old Quito, past illuminated colonial facades and through elegant plazas. It is a beautiful warm evening and the whole town seems to be out on the streets, engaged in people-watching and being seen. The restaurants and colourful cafés are overflowing onto the squares. And at the centre of it all is the wonderfully atmospheric Patio Andaluz.
You were right to specify this hotel as part of your tailor-made holiday to Ecuador. It has a timeless elegance borrowed from the surrounding colonial architecture, and a sense of style all its own. Gracious arches and cool inner patios typify its look, whilst quiet, dignified furnishings and superb city views from grand windows add to its appeal.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
