We signed up for a unique accommodation in the desert, and we did not know quite what to expect. We left with a memorable experience and an exposure to an extraordinary architectural artwork and the artists who have dedicated themselves to this unique experience. Be prepared to experience a personally authentic, creatively intense stay. This is not the Sheraton.

The entire experience was very unique and made our stay in Death Valley very memorable. We loved interacting with the hosts and the other guests. Breakfast was really special! Loved the home cooked food and eating with everyone that was staying there.

Carlo and Jack and all their dogs are amazing hosts. Such a unique beautiful place. Absolutely love this place.

Five out of five in all categories. I was met with a friendly welcome from the owner of the property, who immediately gave me a full tour of the premises and a choice of rooms. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic (and healthy)! What a unique property to stay at, in an incredibly beautiful location. I am so glad I stayed at Villa Anita rather than one of the mass tourism hotels located within the park. The conversation, food, and uniqueness of this location made it one of my most unique hotel stays anywhere.

This has been one of the most surprisingly enjoyable stays that I have had in years! Carlo and Jack are amazing, the place is one shiny wonder of art, curiosity and coziness in the middle of the desert. Very warmly recommended (including the music, the food, the breakfast, the comfort)

I would advise that you read the description closely as it's not a luxury hotel. Be open minded to the experience of traveling. It's within reasonable distance of the death valley NP but not as close as I'd wanted :-)

Breakfast was awesome. It was a full home cooked breakfast course. The location was close enough to Death Valley NP for a day trip. But if you seek a place to be creative or some soul searching, the villa is also a great space to explore your inner and outer self. It's more like a personal retreat space rather than just a place to sleep, so take the time to slow down and enjoy the moments. And the doggies!! <3 <3 <3

Fantastic hosts that treat you like they've known you for years. Really cute, clean, and comfortable accommodations. Great location near death valley and surrounding sites

No internet or TV in our room

It was a unique adventure unlike anything I expected. Carlos and Jack are great host. This is a Bohemian art gallery. Not the Rits . The only phone and internet service is in the main house. We had dinner with their friends and dogs.

Would be better if room could be better supplied with toilet paper. Would be better if the bathroom area in Bottle Room could be better heated.

Loved Carlo and Jack! They were extremely welcoming, friendly, and did their best to make us feel at home. Loved the location and premises. One could wander for days and not see it all. Loved the beauty of the Bottle Room. Enjoyed sharing breakfast with Carol and Jack

The price is a tad bit high, but the atmosphere is great. Live Music and animals along with a interesting environment add to this unique experience. Art with collections that can be purchased along with a very friendly staff.

Breakfast and dinner are of a exceptional quality and taste. 7 dogs with art and collections, and outdoor environment that you can roam along with a historical mining area just below the property and openess all around that you can hike and explore.

I have nothing negative to say about my stay there. Everything was exceptional!

A very family type atmosphere. With absolutely excellent service. Carlo and Jack make you feel like family. With their welcoming spirit. The quarters that they provided for me in their home was beyond exceptional and I strongly recommend this place to anybody who is seeking the peace and quiet. As well as the wonderful and positive energies that this place emanates. I will be a repeated visitor!

We loved the food, the hosts, the comfort of our little birds nest, the quiet, the amazing sunsets, the art in every corner, the unique necklaces I bought from Jack (I wear them every day since then and I just love them!)…

The owners were extremely accommodating! We just loved them both! They treat everyone like family and go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met and make you feel comfortable. Expect to be in a setting full of the art decor and collections of used and unique items all around you. Must love dogs! Every room and area is decorated differently. This is not a conventional stay! so if you are creative and open-minded and like to make new friends this is the place for you.

I was staying in the bird room and think they should have a more imaginative soap dish and dispenser to tie in with the rest of the decor!

Hosts were amazing and the decor extraordinary. Amazing artwork everywhere, some by the talented host, Jack. Had a delicious homemade dinner by Carlo. I don't eat breakfast but had some lovely tea and enjoyed the sunrise from their outside seating area. It's such an experience that I wished I could have stayed longer.

Our stay at Villa Anita was truly a unique experience. The surroundings are a feast for the senses, our bungalow was very clean and comfortable, and the hosts went above and beyond. Dinners and breakfasts with Carlo and Jack were fabulous!

Very interesting location, very nice and interesting stuff. The location is exceptional. The place is also very clean, everything is there, but the price is a bit to high. But we got two glasses of good wine for free, we forgot to bring ours with us.

This is a gem in Death Valley.

Stayed in February 2023

It is a lot of stuff all around, that I personally would have liked to have seen cleaned up better. That being said: this is an art installation, in constant change, where I suspect most of the stuff should be considered part of the experience.

I loved the location in the desert, making it possible to just walk into the dunes and enjoy the solitude. The place itself far away from your average place to stay - it is an art installation, it is an experience, and it is a destination all by itself. The hosts are amazing: artists, cooks, hospitable hosts, and great story tellers. Bonus: You can purchase art and take home with you!

A special place really. In almost every aspect. The owners are very kind, caring and open-minded. They provide good food if you join them for dinner. And the whole place is laid-back, there is a lot discover. Go there and find out for yourself. It's worth it.
