Villa San Ignacio is situated in Costa Rica’s Central Valley, conveniently located near the SJO international airport and approximately 30 miles northwest of San Jose. Alajuela Province is famous for having “the best weather in the world.” In this tropical paradise, the temperature remains an average of 77 F / 25 C all year round.
Villa San Ignacio has been renovated to recall its original rustic charm. The décor is polished but simple, and the custom furniture designed from antiques provides cozy comfort for guests while evoking the simple grace of the country. Clean, natural light makes it feel like you’re visiting a cheery hacienda.
Alajuela Province is known for having ideal weather 300 days of the year. Our perfect climate is one of the reasons Villa San Ignacio thrived as a small coffee plantation in the last century. In another past life, it was owned by a botanist, and we have this devoted gentleman to thank for the lovely grounds that team with wildflowers and ripe fruit trees, and the birds and butterflies they invite.
Within the hotel and on its grounds one can enjoy the peaceful vistas provided by the Central Mountains. The wide variety of native trees and fruit trees spread throughout our 22 acre property is a haven for some of Costa Rica’s most brilliant birds. We provide an ideal location to spot elusive members of the species, such as motmots, chachalacas, flycatchers, wrens, parrots, tanagers, warblers, euphonias, woodpeckers, and the sweetly busy hummingbirds.
Pandora Restaurant, specializing in homemade dishes with fresh, local ingredients, is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With seven acres of verdant grounds and a variety meeting areas, Villa San Ignacio is the ideal location for corporate and special events.
