A beautiful country retreat run by a North American–trained Panamanian designer and his Ecuadorian wife, this gorgeous property has two rooms and two suites, plus a two-story house with living room and kitchen. Decor is a bit Laura Ashley, with lots of powder blue, lace doilies and quilting, but the friendly couple and their gardens are simply a delight.
