AN ARCHITECTURAL RETREAT IN HISTORIC CUENCA
Tucked behind the lush gardens of Casas del Nogal, this distinctive residence welcomes you with exposed brick, substantial eucalyptus beams and the warmth of natural materials. At its heart is an unusual open-air atrium enclosed by glass walls, where a striking brick-and-metal staircase leads to your own expansive rooftop terrace overlooking Cuenca’s historic rooftops and the Andes.

Thoughtfully furnished and equipped for extended stays, this intimate one-bedroom home combines architectural character with modern comforts, including exceptionally fast fiber internet and a whole-home solar power system with battery backup.

YOUR OWN PRIVATE ROOFTOP
Much more than a balcony or conventional terrace, this spacious outdoor living area belongs exclusively to you. Comfortable seating, a fire table, gas grill and lush greenery create a peaceful retreat above the city.

Hummingbirds visit the flowering plants, which are cared for by automatic irrigation. Views stretch across Cuenca toward the surrounding mountains, with a glimpse of the New Cathedral’s magnificent blue domes to the north.

Begin your morning with coffee among the hummingbirds, enjoy lunch in the Andean sunshine or settle beside the fire as evening lights begin to appear across the valley.

COMFORTABLE LIVING, THOUGHTFULLY EQUIPPED
Inside, you’ll find a welcoming living room, a comfortable dining and workspace, a fully equipped kitchen and a separate bedroom with a double bed (55 × 75 inches / 140 × 190 cm).

The en suite bathroom features a walk-in shower and bidet. A separate guest half bathroom includes a washer and electric dryer, particularly convenient for longer stays.

The kitchen is equipped for everyday cooking, with an induction cooktop, electric oven, microwave, refrigerator, air fryer, coffee maker and a full complement of cookware, dishes and utensils.

For those working remotely, high-speed fiber internet, recently tested at over 500 Mbps download and 300 Mbps upload, is complemented by a 4K computer monitor, keyboard and mouse.

One particularly welcome feature is the home’s independent solar power system with 15 kWh of battery storage. If the local electrical grid goes down, the system automatically switches to battery power, keeping the home running without interruption under normal operating conditions. All electrical circuits are supported except the clothes dryer, with backup duration depending on energy use and available sunlight.

Electricity, water, gas, internet, linens, towels and essential household amenities are included. Everything is arranged to make daily life comfortable, whether you’re preparing meals at home, working online or simply enjoying the pleasure of having nowhere in particular to be.

CASAS DEL NOGAL: A GARDEN OASIS
Designed and built by ISAM, Casas del Nogal is an intimate residential community where traditional river stone, exposed brick and beautifully landscaped courtyards create an unexpectedly peaceful setting in the heart of El Centro.

Uniquely situated between historic Calle Larga and the Tomebamba Riverwalk, the complex has secure entrances on both sides. Step out one way into the lively streets of Cuenca’s historic center or the other into the green riverside corridor.

Residents and guests also enjoy a separate shared rooftop with an herb and vegetable garden, outdoor dining, comfortable seating and sun loungers overlooking Turi and El Vergel.

Both entrances have electronic keycard access. Staff care for the common areas during the day, while the building manager and original architect live on the property.

Casas del Nogal is a quiet residential community rather than a hotel or serviced apartment building, offering the opportunity to settle into the rhythms of everyday Cuencan life.

EXPLORE CUENCA ON FOOT
Restaurants, cafés, galleries, shops and historic landmarks are all within easy walking distance.

From the riverside entrance, the Tomebamba Riverwalk leads through parks and historic neighborhoods, offering beautiful places to walk, explore or simply sit beside the river.

With so much nearby, there’s no need for a car.
