La Terraza Guest House B&B

So many reasons to love my stay....Charles and the staff are relaxed, warm and welcoming, even though I arrived late in the evening. Because my phone wasn't working, Charles kindly woke me up at 4:30 AM so that I could catch my ride to the airport when I left! My room was spacious, spotless and lovely, and had a private balcony overlooking a murmuring brook that sang to me all night through my open slider. The grounds are private and verdant, and yet convenient to Grecia's restaurants, etc. A traditional Costa Rican breakfast in the shaded courtyard , complete with CR's famous coffee, couldn't have been more idyllic. Every detail from the homemade cookies in my room to the vine-covered gate contribute to the Guest House's tranquil atmosphere. I hope to return someday!

My family of four (2 adults and 2 young kids) stayed at La Terraza for 3 nights. We had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious and clean. The garden was beautiful and was a lovely place to stroll. My 4 year old really enjoyed seeing all the different fruit and citrus trees. The garden is truly an oasis. The breakfasts changed daily and were all DELICIOUS. The employees were very kind and helpful. We will definitely plan to stay here again!

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!

My partner and I stayed here and the service was top notch. John was our host and welcomed us at 11 pm as there were delays with our flight. He met us at the gate and took us to our room where there were two pitchers in the fridge filled with mint leaf water and tea (I think?). They also had two cupcakes waiting for us in the fridge with a cute little red ribbon. There are bottles of wine in the room for purchase (red and white), a wine opener and a couple glasses. Really nice touch. Also a microwave, utensils, lotion, soap, coffee maker, etc. WiFi password in the room. The beds and pillows were comfy. The rushing river lulled us to sleep. In the morning, my guy wasn’t feeling well from some Chinese food the day prior. They brought a delicious breakfast to our door, even though they already had a table set for us in the morning. Waking up was a wonderful surprise, the property was gorgeous. You’re embedded in the lush beauty of the jungle, surrounded by butterflies and singing birds. This was our first time here, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

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.

Catherine Schoeppe This B&B is the BEST in Grecia, and the Owner, Charles, will not only become your friend, but he will be there to help you with your trip in Costa Rica and any "inside" information you might need. He is well known and respected in the area. The property has unbelievable flora, and special moments next to the creek. Pura Vida....is true. Where else can you drink the water from the tap??? We spent 2 weeks there and are going back. There is too much to eat, drink and explore.
