Delicious breakfast. Great location. And the host and staff are absolutely lovely, they really look after you. Could not recommend this place more.

Set in San José and only 5.2 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, Tierra Magica B&B and Art Studio offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This 3-star bed and breakfast offers luggage storage space and a housekeeping service. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. We really enjoyed our stay at Tierra Magica B&B. The room was especially lovely with the owner's artwork and very comfortable. It was an easy walk to shops in Escazu and the garden and breakfast area were welcoming. This may become one of our go-to hotels to stay at when we're in the San Jose area.

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant & Bar.

The property offers Roof top Activities center, Wellness, and Pub Crawl also a trendy Co-Work space. Accommodations include standard rooms and private suites. Great place! It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood called Among, and it’s also within walking distance from downtown, where you can visit the National Theatre and the main market with typical local food. Dani and Karen gave me amazing service—Karen welcomed me with a big smile, and Dani joined us at the bar to play beer pong. I highly recommend it and I’ll definitely come back. By the way, if you’re looking for a massage, look for Oscar—he’s the best and will relieve all your stress.

The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Excellent stay in San José. Located in a beautiful historical house, the room was a good size, clean, and with comfortable beds. The inside patio was green and sunny, and the staff were happy to go beyond to accommodate our needs. The breakfast included was varied and plenty. The dinner menu was small, but saved us on a holiday evening when everything in town was closed, and the food itself was good quality.
