“Best Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Of the seven guest houses we have stayed in Costa Rica, La Terraza is hands down our favorite. Jeanetta and Christina are two of the nicest people we have met in a country full of nice people -- we consider them both lifelong friends. LaTerraza itself is a beautiful property, with extensive, well-kept grounds and a lovely stream running close by. The food is excellent and the rooms are beautifully decorated. Downtown Grecia, with its interesting shops and fine restaurants, is a 15-minute walk or five minute drive away. You can't go wrong at LaTerraza

Room Tip: Choose the apartment. We stayed in it for three weeks. It overlooks the beautiful gardens and the...

Thanks so much for your vote of confidence. You did'nt say that you like Costa Rica so much until after your first visit you decided to make this home. Oh the secrets people keep. My intention was to make you a permanent guest, but your love for our climate and the people sort of made you feel welome enough to make Costa Rica your home. Just sendme all of your guest and we will count it as a fair exchange. Enjoy your new home and thanks for your vote of confidence.

“A place I love to go!!”

During the past few years I've stayed at La Terraza 4-5 times and I always return to this lovely spot. The rooms are quite amble, the sound of the running stream on the property makes for a refreshing peace. I like having a mini-frigerator, coffee maker and microwave oven in the rooms so I can have snacks and treats when I am ready. The gardens are beautiful and the owners and staff are always responsive to my needs. I particular love to be able to sit on the main house patio and enjoy breakfast, refreshments or work on my laptop. Can't wait to go back!

I don't know if the our business plan included making guest so comfortable until they decide to make Costa Rica their home. You never expect that a person is going to like visiting so much until they decided to stay. Our beautiful weather is hard to resist. Thanks for your years of patronage, we had hoped you would be a customer for life but then you decided to buy a house here. Oh well, just send us all of your visitors.

My husband and I stayed for a week in Jan of 2012, and for sure I will be always happy to suggest others stay at La Terazza in Grecia. Carlos was so nice, polite and helpful, Christine couldn't be kinder and Jeanetta was just a hostess with the mostest. We lingered over breakfast chatting each morning and learning about each other and the area and it was just so very enjoyable for us and from my friend that had joined us for the week. We had plenty of room in our apartment to entertain our friend for evening drinks and meals and she so enjoyed her lovely room just above us. We all enjoyed sitting on the porches in the evenings with our wine. Yes do stay in Grecia at La Terazza you will not be disappointed.

What always amazes me when I read our guest reviews is that the guest never say how great they were. We had a wonderful time, we enjoyed serving you, thanks for the opportunity. We appreciate your taking time to give us a review. We look forward to your return trip. If you think of something we could have done better, drop us a line. Someone elses observation is always very helpful.

“Quiet, pretty and amazing”

I had corresponded with the owner, Jeanetta Owens on the net so I had an inkling of her wit and charm before I arrived. Her Inn is spotless. The guestroom I stayed in was well appointed; with 2 rocking chairs on a small balcony overlooking the jungle hillside that abuts the back of her property. Her property is lovely and groomed with many flowering plants and trees - and a small bright yellow footbridge that crosses a rushing mountain stream. Breakfast served on the porch by an attentive Christina was fresh fruit, toast and jam, good CR coffee or a full eggs and whatever else you might want breakfast. I was traveling alone and Jeanetta and I held a discourse each morning about the days travel plans. I wish I could have stayed a month or two. I'll be back.

Even though we stayed at La Terraza for only one night, the lovely owner, Jeanetta, made us immediately feel like we were family. She was always available to answer any questions and give us information on the area. Her staff, Christina and Carlos, were always friendly and smiling. The accomodations and grounds are really beautiful. Loved being able to sleep with the patio doors open listening to the rushing river in the back yard! The breakfast was wonderful, Christina was willing to fix whatever we wanted! We left wishing we could have stayed for more than one night. We will definately stay at La Terraza next time we are in the Grecia area, and look forward to visiting with our friend Jeanetta!

Thanks so much for your review, we enjoyed your brief visit but you did promise us that when you return to Costa Rica you will stop by here first. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to serve you and we are so happy you enjoyed our services.
