This is a beautiful little B&B hidden from the world while located in the center of the city. Once inside there is no evidence of the city. The service was wonderful. The owner is very personable and speaks English. Breakfast is served anytime up until 9:30 and it is delicious, including fresh eggs, juice, bread and fruit. There is a... More

We've stayed here twice as a convenience to the airport. Both times, our room was lovely and the breakfast was delicious. The hostess is a lovely lady and she even took us with her on her grocery run so we could fetch some dinner. Also, keep her posted if your arrival time changes. She likes to know when to expect...

I had the pleasure of staying at Tierra Magica in early January. It's located in an estate area of Escazu, the classiest suburb of San Jose, within walking distance of restaurants, internet cafes and an historic town square. Best of all, it has the feel of a country inn with large rooms featuring wide-plank floors, beautiful gardens and paintings by... More
