For many travelers—especially those scouting a move or visiting for dental care—Casatodosantos bed and breakfast has become the go-to home base. Here’s why this charming B&B is the best choice when exploring Cuenca and its surroundings.
Perfect location: explore Cuenca with ease
Location is one of Casatodosantos’ strongest selling points. Nestled within easy reach of Cuenca’s historic center, it places guests a short walk or quick taxi ride from the Parque Calderón, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception with its iconic blue domes, the Tomebamba River promenades, and the lively artisan markets. The B&B’s setting strikes the ideal balance—close enough to the action to access museums, cafés, and galleries, but quiet enough for restful nights.
Practical transport tips
- From Mariscal Lamar (Cuenca) Airport, a taxi or private transfer to the historic center typically takes under 25 minutes depending on traffic—Casatodosantos can arrange pickups.
- Taxis are affordable in Cuenca; always ask drivers to use the meter or agree on a fare before starting. Walking is often the fastest way to experience the central neighborhoods.

Why Casatodosantos is ideal for those relocating to Cuenca
If you’re considering moving to Cuenca, an extended stay at Casatodosantos is a smart first step. Relocating requires time and local insight—what neighborhood suits your lifestyle, where to find reliable utility setup, and how to connect with real estate agents. The hosts at Casatodosantos regularly assist relocation scouts by sharing neighborhood pros and cons, arranging meetings with trusted realtors, and recommending practical service providers such as English-speaking doctors, movers, and language tutors.
Neighborhood scouting made easy
Cuenca’s neighborhoods each have their own personality—historic center with its colonial charm, the quieter residential areas for families, and neighborhoods near expatriate communities with international amenities. Casatodosantos’ hosts help guests sample each area efficiently, arranging targeted day plans to see apartments, schools, parks, and grocery options so you can make informed decisions.
Dental tourism: a top pick for patients visiting Smilehealth Ecuador
Cuenca has become a destination for dental tourism, and Casatodosantos is particularly popular among medical travelers. Many guests come to Cuenca for significant savings on dental procedures at clinics such as Smilehealth Ecuador Dental Clinic. Casatodosantos understands the needs of dental tourists—comfortable rooms for recovery, flexible meal times, and hosts who can coordinate appointments and local transport.
Cost savings and convenience
Dental care in Ecuador can offer substantial savings—patients often report paying 50% or more less for procedures like dental implants, crowns, and veneers compared to prices in the United States or Canada. In addition to the cost benefits, Cuenca’s reputable dental clinics use modern technology and English-speaking staff. Casatodosantos helps guests manage logistics so the dental journey is as stress-free as possible—from scheduling follow-up visits to arranging post-procedure comfort items.
Local knowledge: recommendations that transform a visit
One of the most valuable assets of staying at Casatodosantos is access to the hosts’ local knowledge. Whether advising on the best valley hike in El Cajas, the quieter times to visit the Panama hat shops, or where to taste authentic cuenca dishes like hornado and llapingachos, the hosts deliver curated suggestions that match your interests. They can also point you toward off-the-beaten-path experiences—artisan workshops in nearby towns, weekly markets, and lesser-known viewpoints.
Food, culture, and practical tips
- Try local specialties such as hornado (roast pork), llapingachos (potato patties), and fresh fruit juices at mercado stalls.
- Visit the artisan market for woven goods and traditional crafts, and watch hat weavers at work in nearby towns.
- Pack for layered weather—Cuenca’s highland climate is mild but variable; sunscreen and a light jacket are essentials.
Beautiful property and tranquil surroundings
Casatodosantos’ property itself is often described as a peaceful oasis. The B&B retains traditional architectural features—arched doorways, a leafy courtyard, and charming communal spaces that invite conversation. Guests enjoy a sense of privacy and serenity while remaining meters from the city’s cultural heartbeat. For those recovering from dental procedures or simply seeking rest, the peaceful ambiance is a large part of the appeal.
Proven reputation: rave reviews and repeat guests
Reviews from past guests highlight many recurring themes: exceptional hosts, convenient central location, comfortable rooms, and that home-away-from-home feeling. Repeat guests and long-stay visitors testify to the consistent quality of care and the trust they place in the B&B’s services—qualities that are particularly important for relocation scouts and dental tourists who require reliability during multi-visit treatment plans.
Practical tips for booking and planning your stay
- Book early if you’re visiting during high season (June–September can be drier and busier). Long-stay visitors should inquire about weekly or monthly rates.
- If visiting for dental work, schedule your first consultation early in your trip to allow time for any follow-up appointments; hosts can help coordinate transportation to clinics like Smilehealth Ecuador.
- Ask the hosts about quiet rooms for recovery and about meal options suited for post-procedure diets.
- Bring layers, comfortable walking shoes for cobblestones, and a small medical kit including altitude-friendly remedies if you feel sensitive at 2,560 meters.
