This was one of the best vacation that I've ever had. After almost 10 hours flying from Brazil, I felt at home with an excellent welcome and an awesome dinner. At La Villa Bonita the guests taste and prepare the real mexican food. I spent amazing 7 days there, doing simple things like going to the 'mercado' and cooking. I've... More

My husband and I felt so at home here. Our room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Chef Ana and her husband Rob and the staff were friendly & hospitable. It seemed that everyone, including the guests, became our extended family for a week. We learned to cook amazing dishes, one of which was a regional mole verde that we never... More

Chef Ana and her staff treated us to a week full of hospitality. The culinary experience was a relaxed approach to comfort food; the ingredients fresh, the instruction simple to follow and of course all delicious. We quickly felt we were at a close relative's home. The grounds are gorgeous, the room comfortable and romantic. The group we happened to... More

La Villa Bonita is a wonderful place in a lovely part of Mexico.. Chef Ana's hospitality makes you at home immediately. Her cooking classes are excellent and the results are delicious. Accommodations are very comfortable too. Very highly recommended!

We've traveled quite a bit to the typical Mexican resorts and were looking for something unique;something where you could see a town up close and not just hang out with other tourists in a gated resort. La Villa Bonita was the perfect answer! Ana & Rob were excellent hosts! Ana made you feel right at home the minute we arrived.Working... More

I had a lovely time at La Villa Bonita. If you're looking for a relaxing, simple, delicious vacation this is the place to go. I found Tepoztlan to be charming and safe. Robb and Ana were fantastic hosts. I wish them well and encourage anyone considering La Villa Bonita to go for it. I'm glad we did.

I just returned last night from a fantastic experience with Chef Ana Garcia at her cooking school and hotel -- La Villa Bonita. One of the magic cities of Mexico, the setting for her culinary arts is restful, beautiful and with perfect weather and a nice pool -- it couldn't be more heavenly. I'm a serious cook and personal chef.... More

Thank you for the kind review. We had an great time with you as well. Just a quick note about the sample schedule as noted on our site. While the layout of events is almost always as noted in the sample schedule, there are times when Chef Ana will modify the order of events to take advantage of local festivals,... More

My partner and I were looking for a fun weekend away to celebrate Valentine's Day and came across the two-day culinary vacation on Bloomspot.com. At first we were hesitant to undertake a trip to Mexico for only a few days, but we quickly realized that the travel time was less than we would spend driving to a domestic location. The... More

From the moment you arrive, Robb and Ana welcome you as family and you are immediately immersed in true Mexico culture- a welcome change from some of the more "touristy" vacations in Mexico. The cooking classes were very hands on, and Ana is a fantastic teacher. Your level of culinary expertise doesn't matter- novice or expert- you will learn something... More
