Welcome to Casatodosantos: A Home Base for Exploring Cuenca
If you’re planning a trip to Cuenca — whether a short vacation, a long scouting trip to consider relocation, or a dental tourism visit to Smilehealth Ecuador — Casatodosantos deserves to be at the top of your list. This charming bed and breakfast blends classic Cuencano architecture and modern comforts, and it’s known for hospitality that turns first-time visitors into repeat guests. Read on for the many reasons Casatodosantos is the best B&B choice when visiting Cuenca and the surrounding Highlands.
Location: Walkable, Central, and Quietly Convenient
One of Casatodosantos’ greatest assets is its location. Situated within easy walking distance of Cuenca’s historic center, guests can step out and be at Parque Calderón, the blue-domed Cathedral, and the riverfront promenades in minutes. That means fewer taxis, more leisurely strolls through plazas and artisan markets, and instant access to the cafes, galleries and restaurants that give Cuenca its lively character.
At the same time, the B&B sits on a peaceful street away from heavy traffic — ideal for restful nights after busy days of sightseeing or clinic appointments. For visitors arriving by air, the Mariscal Lamar International Airport is a short taxi ride away, and Casatodosantos’ hosts often help arrange convenient airport transfers.
Warm, Personalized Hospitality — A Local Touch That Makes a Difference
What truly sets Casatodosantos apart is the hospitality. The hosts treat guests like friends: they remember names, customize breakfast to dietary needs, and provide practical help that transforms a trip from good to exceptional. If you’re a relocator, they can introduce you to local services such as bilingual realtors, movers, and language schools. If you’re a dental tourist, they can coordinate logistics and offer tips for a smooth recovery.
This level of personalized service is especially valuable in Cuenca, where local knowledge — from the best neighborhood for banking to where to buy a quality Rodríguez-style jacket — saves time and stress for newcomers.
Comfortable, Charming Rooms Designed for Rest and Recovery
Guests repeatedly praise Casatodosantos for comfortable, thoughtfully appointed rooms. Expect a mix of classic colonial features — high ceilings, hardwood floors, and small decorative touches — combined with modern amenities like reliable Wi-Fi, cozy bedding, and quiet en-suite bathrooms. Some rooms include small balconies or views over the garden courtyard, perfect for morning coffee.
Dental tourists appreciate rooms that support recovery: restful beds, space for quiet convalescence, and a calm atmosphere. The B&B’s commitment to cleanliness and comfort helps visitors relax after dental procedures like implants, crowns, or veneers.
Why Dental Tourists Choose Casatodosantos
Cuenca is a worldwide hub for dental tourism, and Smilehealth Ecuador is one of the clinics many international patients visit for high-quality care at lower cost than North America. Casatodosantos has become a favorite B&B for dental travelers for several reasons:
- Proximity and convenience: It’s easy to get to dental appointments from the B&B, whether by a short taxi ride or a pre-arranged transfer.
- Supportive hosts: The hosts assist with appointment coordination, transportation, and even post-op meal suggestions or locating pharmacies and emergency supplies.
- Comfort for recovery: Quiet rooms and reliable service provide the restful environment needed after procedures like implants, crowns, or veneers.
- Cost-effective travel planning: Guests can pair treatment plans with a pleasant stay, making the overall experience less stressful and more economical.
Many dental tourists report substantial savings on major treatments compared to prices in the United States and Canada — a major reason they choose Cuenca and Casatodosantos as their home-away-from-home during care.
Ideal for Relocation Scouting Trips
Thinking of moving to Cuenca? Casatodosantos functions as a perfect base for a relocation scouting trip. The hosts understand what prospective residents want to know and can point you toward neighborhoods, international schools, doctors, and expat resources. They also help arrange meetings with real estate agents and accompany guests to showings when requested, which is invaluable for visitors who don’t speak Spanish fluently yet.
From exploring supermarket options and banking to testing out public transport and local medical facilities, a stay at Casatodosantos lets you experience the rhythms of daily life rather than merely visiting tourist hotspots. That perspective is crucial when deciding whether Cuenca is a good fit long-term.
Practical Relocation Tips from the Hosts
- Spend time in different neighborhoods at different times of day to assess noise, safety, and walkability.
- Use the B&B as your base to test commute times to clinics, grocery stores, and any potential workplaces.
- Ask the hosts about bilingual doctors and dentists — they often recommend reliable, English-friendly professionals.
Local Knowledge and Curated Recommendations
Casatodosantos’ hosts are more than innkeepers; they are local guides. They provide curated recommendations for dining, shopping, cultural events, and day trips that align with guest interests. Want a quiet cafe to read in the morning? They’ll point you to a neighborhood favorite. Looking for authentic local markets or the best place to buy a Toquilla straw hat? They know where the artisans sell the real thing.
This inside knowledge helps visitors avoid tourist traps and discover lesser-known gems: a tranquil riverbank walk along the Tomebamba, a weekday lunch spot favored by locals, or a small gallery with emerging Ecuadorian artists. For newcomers, these pointers accelerate the feeling of belonging in Cuenca.
Beautiful Property, Peaceful Garden, and Authentic Ambiance
The property itself is a highlight. Casatodosantos blends traditional Ecuadorian charm with comfortable outdoor spaces — a shaded patio, a tranquil garden courtyard, and cozy indoor common areas where guests can relax, read, or chat with hosts and fellow travelers. These communal spaces often become the setting for useful conversations: tips about medical care, relocation anecdotes, or suggestions for unique day trips.
Photography enthusiasts will enjoy capturing the colonial details and the carefully tended gardens, while anyone recovering from a dental procedure will appreciate the calm and restorative environment.
Excellent Reviews and a Strong Reputation
Consistently positive guest reviews are a reliable indicator of quality, and Casatodosantos scores highly on major review platforms for service, cleanliness, and location. Guests emphasize the personalized attention, the exceptional breakfasts, and the convenient position for exploring the city. Many repeat visitors and word-of-mouth recommendations from expats and dental tourists continue to build the B&B’s reputation.
When planning a trip where comfort and trustworthy local support matter — like a dental vacation or an extended scouting trip — those highly positive reviews give peace of mind.
Practical Tips for Dental Tourists Staying at Casatodosantos
To make the most of your dental trip to Cuenca and your stay at Casatodosantos, here are practical tips that combine travel sense with local insight:

- Plan for recovery time: schedule a few days of rest at the B&B after major procedures like implants.
- Ask the hosts about pharmacies and local post-op care essentials — many items are readily available nearby.
- Have a local SIM card or reliable mobile data to stay in touch with the clinic and arrange transport; hosts can advise on the best options.
- Remember that Ecuador uses the US dollar, so budgeting is straightforward; small bills are handy for taxis and tips.

Booking Tips and How to Get the Most Out of Your Stay
To secure the best rooms and dates at Casatodosantos, especially during high season (drier months tend to be June through September), book early.
