Villa Bonita is located just 10 mins walk from the  Plaza in Coroico and is the perfect place for a relaxing few days. Apart from offering accomodations in its cabanas or room in the main building it has a popular vegetarian restaurant which is well known locally for its homemade ice cream.

The  accomodations are basic but adequate and are located amongst  lush gardens with views across the yungas hills. There are also hammocks available and a patio area for guest use. Water is heated by solar power and the owners advise that you use it in the morning for best results.

The restaurant serves food outside in the front garden and has daily specials in addition to the menu. Fresh pasta dishes, veggie burgers (with lentils and soya),Rostis and others feature on the menu and are made with fresh ingredients.Homemade bread, cookies and marmalades are all availalble and worth trying. The food we tried was all excellent and the restaurent seemed to have a number of returning regulars which is a good sign.

The ice cream that is made on the premises use all natural ingredients and comes in a variety of flavours including classics like chocolate, vanillas, coffee etc but also some more interesting choices like "hierbia buena" (a kind of minty herb)

If you are planning a trip to Coroico we recommended this place for a rustic relaxing stay for teh atmosphere and the friendly service from the swiss bolivian couple that runs it.. If planning on staying there you should call ahead and book as there are not lots of rooms and they do get booked up especially on weekends. Even if you arent staying the restaurant is recommended and worth the short walk from the center of town. If veggie food isnt your thing (although many non veggies where eating there and complimenting the food) then the ice cream is worth the walk alone.

To get to Villa Bonita walk along the road to Hotel Viejo Molino (ask for either in the center - they are both well known) for about 700 meters and you will find it on the right hand side. The phone number is a cel phone 71918298
