Words cannot truly describe the feelings we experienced at La Villa Bonita Culinary Hotel in Tepoztlán, Mexico. The feelings are BEYOND description; however, the closest word that we could use is a feeling of being “totally connected,” in every sense of the word… being connected to the location destination (Tepoztlán as a mystical town), to the hospitality (Ana, Robb, their...

We spent New Years week in magical La Villa Bonita and can't recommend it more highly. Nestled at the base of a mountain, this spot would be a lovely hotel alone - a sunny, comfortable room, heartstopping views, a serene and beautiful pool, and a short walk into funky Tepoztlan. But what sets La Villa Bonita apart are Chef Ana's... More

If you enjoy cooking, you will love this place! In any event, it is a beautiful place with terrific weather. We enjoyed everything about our trip here. Ana is very personable and warm and makes you feel at home. We especially enjoyed a little personal attention from their dog, Mojo. We made many new friends and enjoyed our trips to... More

Our daughter picked this up on Bloomspot. All of us (6, three generations) went. Ana led us through buying, preparing chicken in mole. Of course, we ate it. Wonderful experience. Will have to come back.

I'm a Gringa, blue eyes and blonde hair. But now I am also a Mexicana corrazon. I can make tortillas and mole. I'm not afraid of lard either. By some touch of grace, my friend and I found ourselves the only guests at this hotel/cooking school. We got all of Chef Ana's attention! We watched over her boys as they... More

I attended Ana and Robb 's cooking school and have never experienced such a relaxed, but professional experience of any kind. The grounds and the rooms at their place were clean, quiet, and very nicely decorated. The service of airport transportation is hard to find anywhere! I was sent back to another time and place while cooking the most delicious... More

My niece and I spent the weekend (two-night package) at La Villa Bonita; we had a fantastic time. Robb and Ana were very welcoming, personal and attentive. We enjoyed shopping at the local market and cooking with Ana. The mexican dishes that we cooked were absolutely fantastic. The grounds are beautiful, relaxing and soothing. This was a different type of... More
