Pacheco Farmhouse is a little jewel of a place set a couple of meters from the Intag River, quiet, other than the sounds of water, tranquil, welcoming, homey, and completely captivating. Two of the accommodations are tiny doll-house cabins set a couple of meters from the boisterous river, the sound of which makes for great sleeping. Delicious breakfasts, good wifi, and the use of a neighboring pool are added pluses. Tasty dinners are available for a modest price. Lots of information offered about what to enjoy in the Intag Valley

Nothing.

Fantastic place to rest and be with nature. The people taking care of the guests are genuinely kind hearted, loving, wonderful human being. I ant wait to return. Highly recommend it!!!

Wow this is really a hidden gem. I stayed in one of the river cabins, very comfyand beautiful interior, loved sleeping with the sound of the river. Andrea went out of herway to make us feel comfortable. I’m a very difficult eater butshe prepared me a special and delicious breakfast every morning (best I’ve had in Ecuador!) I hope to come back one day! Only thing I would recommend is to make a watertank freely available for guests (:

We were staying at one of the little cabins next to the river, which was absolutely wonderful! The cabin is very romantic, cozy and perfectly clean. We also LOVED THE FOOD that Andrea cooked for us!!! She makes the best homemade veggie burgers (even the bun is homemade!) & Salads and Dips! 🤤😍. Plus breakfast was always amazing! Can't wait to come back!

To be honest it was pretty much perfect!

The care and love which Dolf and Helena put into making our stay amazing and making us feel welcome at Pacheco. They made sure we have a great time discovering all the Intag valley has to offer and Helena made us some of the best meals and desserts we've enjoyed during our entire trip, no wonder locals stop by for her cooking. Don't miss out and pass by Pacheco to relax the soul and nurture the body.

We arrived at this place 5 minutes after booking online, it was totally unexpected and we only planned to stay for one night. Hum. We stayed 4 days. We had a huge crush on this lovely cottage in the middle of the valley, next to the flowing river… amazing location is to say as a first. Second, the food. OH MY GOD! Helena is a wonderful cook and we rarely had a breakfast of that quality in our hotel experience. Finally, Dolfo and Helena made so much effort to make us feel like home that we actually believed it ! Each dinner costs 7,50$ and the beverages around 10$ for two but the quality of the food and the cooking are making every penny worthwhile. Thank you so much again for your understanding and your help, we will come back for sure.

The sound of the river nearby is loud but amazing, take earplugs if you are a light sleeper

The owners were very nice and spoke good english. We had a nice candlelight dinner and a friendly conversation every evening - like an extended family. The rooms are basic but nice. I liked that they had painted everything white (not so dark like other similar places). The nearby thermal pools were also nice and not expensive. I would definitely recommend this little farmhouse!

The cottage is right by the river and the flowing river does make some noise. Tapwater was brown because of the rain but they did have bottles with clean water and refilled them when needed.

This is a very special place. The surroundings and scenery are utterly spectacular, but what made this stay above and beyond anywhere else we have stayed in our two months of travelling was the hospitality from both Jimena and Marga. Every element was thoughtful, unique and enhanced our experience. From the helpful tips on exploring the area (discovering waterfalls, coffee fincas and zip lines) to the amazing home cooked breakfasts and dinner (and the wine - it was SUCH a treat to drink good wine after two months in Colombia!), fascinating stories and long chats over dinner and cuddles with their lovely dogs. The interiors are gorgeous - and everything (the bed, the chairs, the pillows, the sofas) were so comfortable - I don’t think I’ve ever slept so well. My partner and I can not recommend this guest house enough

Nothing

I stayed at Pacheco Farmhouse for 5 nights...Great hospitality, great place to relax next to the river. It is so easy to sleep with the sound of the river running by below the property. I wish I had arranged to stay a couple weeks!

Be aware, if you don't have a car, it is a bit of a walk to find other places to eat. You can order dinner at the farmhouse each evening, but lunch is not served. On a side note....the local organic Rio Intag coffee served is several cafes in nearby Apuela is really excellent.
