  Special Offer for our listeners from Chef Ana Garcia of La Villa Bonita
  

  •  La Villa Bonita would also like to offer "Women Entrepreneurs - The Secrets of Success" listeners a special discount for the La Villa Bonita  4-day “Relaxation Package.”  For more information, email reservations@lavillabonita.com or visit: http://lavillabonita.com and mention that you listened to my interview with Chef Ana Garcia.
  • Founded in 2000, La Villa Bonita offers 4-day and 7-day culinary immersion packages to guests ranging from amateur chefs making their first tortilla, to professional chefs looking for new ideas. (www.lavillabonita.com)

   

  • La Villa Bonita was named “One of the 5 Best Culinary Vacations Worldwide” by The Food Network as well as one of "The 100 Best Vacations to Enrich Your Life" by National Geographic Books and author Pam Grout.

   

  • La Villa Bonita is a convenient travel destination because it is only one hour south of Mexico City in Tepoztlan, Morelos, Mexico, and most major US airports have several direct flights daily into Benito Juarez Airport.

   

  • The resort is situated on a 33,000 square foot organic citrus orchard, and features 6 luxurious guest rooms, and a specially-designed open air kitchen with an incredible view of the surrounding Tepozteco Mountains and the Tepoztlan Convent.

   

  Since La Villa Bonita is such an intimate resort, Ana can customize the experience to her guests’ specifications.  In addition to immersion cooking classes, La Villa Bonita offers sightseeing excursions, mountain hikes, museum trips, golf outings and spa services on premises.  There is also babysitting and a heated pool built into volcanic rock.

   

  • La Villa Bonita Culinary Vacations has been featured on shows such as "Trivia Unwrapped," "Food Wine and Friends with Karen MacNeil" on PBS, and "Live with Regis and Kelly."  LVB has also been featured in Cooking Light, Bon Appetit, the Boston Globe and Newsweek.  Owned and founded by Chef Ana Garcia and Robb Anderson, Ana is currently working on her first television series, and a book for the U.S. market.
