Charming little gem in the middle of the city. Clean and bright rooms with beautiful gardens. Surrounding neighborhood area is a bit rough so walking isnt advisable. Great breakfast included. The only thing I would suggest the owners add are extra door locks for security once inside the room. These only have small pin locks on the door handles.

Absolutely in love with this hotel
We stayed at Villa San Ignacio for one night before departing from the San Jose airport. It's only a 20 minute drive to the airport off of the busy highway. However, the reason you should stay here is because it is a gem! I could stay here again and again...it's so adorable, quaint, clean, friendly, and the restaurant served the best food and coffee we had all week in Costa Rica. Go!

This small hotel and compound has a very good restaurant, pool and bar set up. We regularly use it coming in and out of SJO as a stopping off point. It’s great value and very nice.

We booked Villa San Ignacio as our final night in Costa Rica - we needed a place to stay near San Jose the night before our 6am flight. We were so wonderfully and pleasantly surprised by what is a beautiful little oasis in the middle of town. Our family of 5 booked the 2 bedroom suite and it was beyond perfect. So spacious with an upgraded and very large bathroom. There were 3 sinks and mirrors making it super easy to get ready. It also featured a large shower with great water pressure. The beds are super comfortable. The grounds are really pretty and the pool area lovely. We ate at Pandora, their restaurant, for lunch and dinner and really enjoyed it. The food was well priced for a hotel restaurant and very delicious. Because we would miss the complimentary breakfast due to our early checkout, they left us to-go breakfasts outside our bedroom at 3am. All in all, a perfect gem of a hotel in San Jose. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Property was nice, smaller than it seemed on website (trails are very short). A little loud from nearby highway noise, but overall very pleasant stay.

Perfect place to start or end your Costa Rica journey. Really charming property, tastefully decorated with a terrific pool area and good birding possible around the trails and grounds. Staff were helpful and efficient and the food and drinks were good quality and very reasonably priced.

A tropical oasis convenient to SJO! The property was lovely and I really enjoyed exploring the trails in the morning. The restaurant and bar were exquisite. Our room was very spacious and the bed was the most comfortable one for the whole trip! Only criticisms: The bathroom was a little awkward with the small door in the corner (but water pressure was great!) and the small console table that held the glass water pitcher was very wobbly! My husband tried one of the handles and discovered it didn’t actually have drawers, luckily nothing fell :)

What a wonderful property with warm and accommodating staff. spent a quick 1-night stay here as it is close to SJO and was pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous grounds, pool, hiking trails nearby and a full spa within walking distance. Amazing layover option for sure!
