VillaNova Cuenca

Planning a visit to Ecuador and in particular Cuenca.

Tired of noisy hotels and high prices?

Are you looking for some peace and quiet?

But within walking distance of some hustle and bustle?

Looking for something which is tasteful and at affordable prices?

This beautiful new boutique style hotel has it all. Within walking distance from the best restaurants, bars, galleries, and not to mention the cultural and artistic centers and just a short walk across the bridge you also have the convenience of a modern cinema and SuperMaxi.

On a beautiful sunny Cuenca day I had the opportunity to visit the new Villa Nova Inn which is owned by a local friend of mine and her foreign partner. Below is a photograph of the staff of Villa Nova.

Andrés the manager is bi-lingual and will be happy to take care of all your requirements.

“Villa Nova is within walking distance of Cuenca’s historic churches and museums, the Pumapungo Incan ruins, restaurants and crafts markets, and only five blocks from Parque Calderon and the city’s renowned cathedral. It is across the Tomebamba River from the popular jogging track at Parque de la Madre. Also within a short walk are modern shopping centers, movie theaters, the football stadium and three of Cuenca’s best hospitals.

Formerly housing the Chilean consulate, the Villa Nova Inn offers 12 renovated guest rooms.

Services such as continental breakfast, which is served at the Sakura restaurant next door, WiFi internet and Direct TV, also they offer an inexpensive laundry service should you require it.

Located adjacent to the famous Tomebamba River at the foot of the Escalinatas Steps Bridge directly across from Parque de la Madre (Mother’s Park), Villa Nova Inn is Ecuador’s newest intimate urban inn in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage city of Cuenca. Villa Nova Inn is the creation of Villa Nova Inn Partnership #1 composed of experienced Ecuadorian and American international travelers who have spent over 70 years experiencing the best in clean, friendly, comfortable, low-cost hotels, inns, and hostels throughout Ecuador, Europe, Canada, and the United States. The Partnership’s members have put those years of experience to work in creating the VNI experience – “Do It Right So the Guest May Sleep Tight!”

This establishment is very new and just a delightful boutique style Hotel. Traveladvisor gave it the thumbs up with 5 star rating. Villa Nova is also “dog friendly” and has a special room (see photo below) set aside for those with a beloved dog in toe. (Availability permitting of course)

Most rooms are very spacious and have the most interesting rock formation walls. Even in this bathroom.
