Alta Vista Penthouse Studio
The colonial city of Cuenca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a lofty designation that put the bedazzling Cathedral Town firmly on the map of international tourism. Cuenca is a must see destination for history and architecture buffs as well as Old World travellers looking for a place to settle while brushing up on Spanish language skills. Cuenca is also well known for its many Language Schools and for several years now, has become a buzzword for North Americans and Europeans looking to move overseas. Within Expat circles, Cuenca consistently comes in as the number one location for retirees.
Cuenca’s Historic Center is a vibrant and eclectic mix of town squares, old and new cafes, ice cream parlours, restaurants, fresh food and flower markets, tinkers and tailors. The city revolves around the observance of holy days and the parishioners of its many Catholic churches often bathe the streets in fireworks and rose petals. After dark though, the premier tourist strips come alive with the bustle and jostle of young locals, backpackers, nightclubs and bars.

Edificio Alta Vista Penthouse Studio
What better way to appreciate Cuenca than from above?
The Penthouse Studio, a chic little pied-à-terre atop the hill-side apartment building Alta Vista, is conveniently located on the northern fringe of downtown Cuenca from where it’s either a 20 minute walk to reach the heart of the city - the leafy Parque Calderon - or a 5 minute taxi ride. Our guests will also appreciate their close proximity to upmarket shops and well stocked supermarkets.
The studio is a compact space at just 80 square meters. Guests take the elevator to the 6th floor and then walk up one flight. The rooftop apartment is a streamlined retreat from the busy streets of Cuenca and exudes peace and quiet in a relaxed and cosmopolitan atmosphere. The Modernist design is crisp and clean and dominated by 180 degrees of wraparound, floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows.
You will find the Penthouse Studio is a thoughtful and well designed compact space. The open plan living room has a large dining area as well as a couple of comfy laid back sofas and matching ottoman. There is also a full guest bathroom which is convenient when entertaining.
The bedroom with a queen bed which is on the western side of the building with a beautiful view of the mountains, has a spacious en suite bathroom with shower over bath, Jacuzzi tuband dual hand sinks and walk-in hanging and storage space.
