Sonya’s Garden

01-entrance Sonya's Garden
Sonya’s Garden has been around for quite some time now, and many beautiful things have already been written about the place, the food, and the owner herself. I’ve attended a number of weddings here, but I fell in love with the place all over again during our family’s recent two-day stay. Even my parents, who are both city slickers, didn’t want to leave the comfort and tranquility that this bed&breakfast provides.

spa Sonya's Garden
We all went to the spa after and got Sonya’s Signature Massage, a combination of Swedish and Shiatsu styles. I have to say, this is one of the best massages I’ve ever experienced in my life. They also mix their own massage oils using flowers and herbs from the garden.

I think the bathroom is my favorite part of the house. The top part is open, and there are windows on two sides, so it can get pretty chilly in there (especially with the Tagaytay breeze), but to shower with an open window (facing the hills) can be quite liberating. The rain shower is above stones and pebbles, and their Gugo shampoo smells so good. We bought about 4 huge bottles from the store.

The Country Store is where you can get massage oils and the Gugo shampoo.
shops-pasalubongs1 Sonya's Garden
The Panaderia is where you MUST buy these: Chocolate cupcakes and Spanish Bread. Buy for yourself, and buy for some for pasalubong. The person you will give this to will love you forever.
