Sonya’s Garden is my nirvana…


Christine Dayrit, The Philippine Star

We decided to check out their Panaderia to buy some freshly made bread. I highly recommend their Cheese Hopia!


When in Manila

Every nook and corner in your secret garden is an invitation to go on meditation.


Mona Bourseaux

To be an overnight guest at Sonya’s Garden is to awaken to all five senses… In a word, sensuous!


Edna Manlapaz

One of the best B&Bs. Even the massage is excellent!


Andrew

The surroundings calm your body and soul. The rooms were airy and homey. Food was so yummy! Adobong pusit cooked in olive oil is to die for. Service from the staff was exceptional.


Anthea M.

All i can say is WOW, you wouldn’t want to leave this place.


DocRonnie

In this heart and soul of Sonya’s, I was treated to a hilot massage — long loving strokes of healing that led me to a journey of rediscovery.


Christine Dayrit

We chose their Sonya’s signature massage with Rose Oil… It was superb. We felt relaxed and serene afterwards. It was the best.


apple_wine

It is always top quality service, very well trained and attentive masseuses, fresh air, peaceful atmosphere, unique setting. There is no better way to relax.


dovil176

This place is wonderfully rejuvenating. The food buffet showcases both delectable and healthy choices. I couldn’t get over the dalandan juice, still the most refreshing one I’ve ever had.


JustFrolicking

The hot and freshly baked whole wheat sesame bread was delightfully crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. With the selection of homemade dips and toppings…. I could say with that bread alone, I can fill my tummy and be a happy camper.


Yedylicious

We had our wedding reception there, and I can’t find words to describe the way we felt. The place is absolutely beautiful.. I was amazed with the amount of beautiful small details.


Karim G.

Still No.1 on our list of best places on earth.


Munich, Asra & Ingrid Conlu

The scent of flowers and freshly baked bread greeted us. Sonya’s Garden is just what I remembered, charming and beautiful. A secret no more, and a haven for many.


Valerie

I am beyond satisfied with their customer service. Not even once did I feel like I wasn’t important there. It was such a treat to experience hospitality on that level. Their Filipino menu is a must try!

Everything is simply rustic. And of course, simply mesmerizing.


Cory Quirino, ANC, Graceful Living

I was in awe. I instantly fell in love with the lush gardens, colorful lamps, eclectic furnitures, and romantic little corners. The dining area was dreamy and homey at the same time. To say that Ces and I loved the food is an understatement. We both were so full and happy and satisfied.

Through the years, Sonya’s Bed and Breakfast is a place I keep coming back to again and again. Still, I can never get enough of its magic, beauty and grace.


Michelle Dayrit Soliven

The cottage is gorgeous… Almost felt like I was in Spanish era. Very serene and romantic.


Marin A

Relaxing place to stay in. Amazing garden, friendly staff, delicious food, and excellent massage service.


Jen T.

I’ve been coming back to Sonya’s bed and breakfast for several years now and I never get tired of it. I always find myself planning for our next vacation here.


Roman

Best MASSAGE in town! I didn’t think it could get better after the foot spa, but the massage was to die for!


Monina

It felt so relaxing, I passed out while she continued to massage my legs. I never fall asleep during a massage session, so that means my masseuse was fantastic.


Jean Fernando

Only one hour of Sonya’s Signature Massage, but it felt like every second, every stroke counts. This is one of the best, if not the best massage I’ve experienced.


Pam H

Compliments to the chef for the superb food. The Spanish bread is a must try!


Marian A.

The Panaderia in Sonya’s Garden houses the best and the freshest cheese hopia and spanish bread in Metro Manila.


The Cuisineuer

The salad and breads are amazing. Grown and made on site with edible flowers and assorted greens and veggies. This is the perfect place to have a gathering and leisurely meal with family and friends.


keeny98

I love their breads! We always pass by the panaderia to enjoy our stash of hispanis bread and cheese hopia. For me they have the best tasting spanish bread in Metro Manila and their signature cheese hopia is something that I haven’t sampled anywhere.


Danie of superwomom.net

Come here on an empty stomach if you’re planning to dine in this heaven of a place. One of the best lunch dates of my life.


Mel Indiongco

Thank you for enriching our lives with your heavenly garden and your good taste in Filipinized living.


Araceli Limcaoco Dans

Food was delicious – had salad for starters, pasta for main course. Both had all the ingredients, all fresh and grown locally… probably the healthiest I have eaten in the Philippines!


Titus

It seems like such a fairy tale there, with all colorful flowers and tall trees, and not to mention the never-ending supply of food that makes an afternoon siesta so inviting.


Tricia Gosingtian

A magical oasis, with private spaces draped with exotic flowers and fabrics…


Pat Crowley (The Bourne Ultimatum, Producer)

This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have visited! The glasshouse decorated with orchids is a splendid place to celebrate something special.


Tagpinasao

Thank you for the many wonderful experiences we’ve had at your lovely home and B&B, especially on our wedding day. David and I will never forget the kindness you show us every time… your hospitality speaks volumes of the wonderful person that you are: a kind, gifted, and very talented hostess.


Mai Kaufman

The moment I stepped into Sonya’s Garden, I was definitely sure I’d have my wedding here. Perfect for brides looking for a venue to hold small and intimate weddings.


ReviewStream

Our visit to your haven was truly an uplifting time – good for the body and the soul.


Mary Grace Dimacali

Sonya has perfected the art of being well! All the remedies are in her garden… The magic heals!


Joven Cuanang

To wake up in the early dawn to the sound of chirping birds and crickets, and the breathtaking view of the mountains, with the sweet smell of flowers wasting through my window, is like a taste of heaven on earth!


Consuelo Y. Santiago

At Sonya’s Secret Garden, I was transported to another time.


Alma

At night the pathways and trees are lit with little sparkling lights that give a magical feeling to your stroll. In the morning you are awakened by a fresh breeze and the sounds of birds in the gardens. The service was excellent.


Lizzie

The food, the cottage, the garden, Sonya and the staff… everything that makes up Sonya’s Garden including Sonya herself was a delight. I would have loved to have stayed longer.


Medjieveggie

The Sonya’s Signature massage with hot compress is the best massage I ever had!


SuperDLS

It’s my second time to the spa and it still is the best spa for me. Very relaxing and the staff are very attentive. The cherry on top is the tea at the end of the massage!


Ria G.

Best spanish bread in town.


mhik30

I have been to Sonya’s a few times to dine, buy their famous bread from their bakeshop. My first time to try their spa. And oh my, what bliss! Best massage experience I’ve ever had. Surreal!
