B&B Grecia Located 30 minutes from the San Jose airport in the Central Valley town of Grecia, Costa Rica we owned and operated this 5 bedroom Bed and Breakfast. We provided guests with a clean, comfortable place to make a base and have an excellent breakfast to start them on their day. We organized and conducted tours of local areas of interest from the Botanical Gardens to waterfalls that are not on the tourist trail. Many of our clients became our friends and repeatedly came back to stay with us and even acknowledged us on tripadvisor. We were also mentioned in the 2007 Let's Go guidebook as a great place to stay as well as the annual Tico Times Costa Rica guide book.
