Ever since its construction around 1789 as the manor house of what was then a large estate only a few kilometers 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.
Today the Hacienda is the permanent home to the owner's family. At the same time, it warmly greets in the superb style of its own tradition to a limited number of selected guest
