La Terraza Guest House B&B

Guests praise the delicious breakfast, attentive service, and clean, spacious rooms with kitchenettes and balconies. Exceptional hospitality and maintenance make for an outstanding stay.

We stayed here after a red eye flight into SJO. It was a comfortable 40 minute early morning drive (in a rental car) from SJO to La Terraza. Located in a very cozy and safe town (Grecia), up a small hill, within residential homes is La Terraza. Bright yellow, inviting color guest house with parking and the guest house B & B is gated. Gorgeous, lush grounds with plenty of nature surrounding La Terraza. Hummingbirds, butterflies, many more different types of birds and stunning plants and trees. You have arrived into Costa Rica's inviting nature environment at La Terraza. The staff is very kind and we were welcomed warmly and they also emailed us prior to our visit to make sure we were secure with our arrival. Kindness, more kindness and we felt at home immediately. They provided us with breakfast, which is handmade freshly in the kitchen. Warm aromas of coffee, fresh juice and fresh fruit and baked items with care and love. There is a beautiful patio with an outside dining area where we enjoyed our meal. The room had a balcony which we sat on for hours on 2 rocking chairs, overlooking a steady stream of soothing water. Absolutely STUNNING! La Terraza is very clean, cozy, and has very nice decorative qualities that I enjoyed to be surrounded by, upon our stay. There is a small bridge we walked over to land across a running stream and took lots of photos. We explored the nature around us and had a lot of fun! We only stayed 1 night, as we were on our way to be married at the La Fortuna Waterfall the following day. We wish we could have stayed several more days at La Terraza, because we loved it so much, but it was a terrific place to stay upon our arrival into SJO. The best part is when the owner came to our breakfast table to introduce himself to us. We loved that. Many compliments to La Terraza! Upon our next trip to Costa Rica, we will be back to stay here! Pura vida!

If you want to be treated like royalty, this is the place for you. I wake up to birds singing, including a couple who flit around on my balcony. Cup of tea waits for me in the breakfast area while I look at many many hummingbirds and other birds. I am vegan and the kitchen staff was very willing to accommodate me, and they did so with smiles. The office staff will do anything in her power to accommodate your needs, arrange for where you want to go. The three women who cook and clean bend over backwards to be sure you have everything you want. I would live here if I could.
