Growing up in a city and living in a place with only few trees and plants makes me more ecstatic to witness a “secret garden.” I have first encountered Sonya’s Secret Garden from an officemate. She was loaded with romantic and beautiful stories of the lovely garden and the tasteful menu. Her endless stories made me really inquisitive to visit Sonya’s Secret Garden.

I was totally convinced to go. I got Sonya’s contact number from another officemate’s copy of Brides Yellow Pages. Since Sonya’s is now first in rank choice for more clandestine and solemn weddings. I was advised to contact them for a reservation. I got a prompt reply of their rates and services. I hope this helps. Sonya’s Country Bed and Breakfast also known as (B&B) is an overnight stay with dinner and breakfast (Php 2500 per person on weekdays) and (Php 2800 per person on weekends and holidays), plus 10% Service Charge and 12% VAT. Check in time is at 2:00pm and Check out time is 12:00 noon. They have a special package rates for bigger groups for weddings/birthdays etc.

The denizens of Tagaytay would definitely agree that Sonya’s Secret Garden is not a secret at all. It was not kept a secret to Tagaytay’s residents and tourists from the Metro even all over the world. Going to Sonya’s has been the perfect hideaway solution if you want to spend time with your partner or friends over a nerve-wracking week or simply to smell the aroma of the flowers around or most likely to eat a hearty meal and set aside meat and fatty foods.

First thing that you would do, is to discover its lush gardens, you will be astonished of the stunning huge area planted with thousands of varieties of fruiting and flowering plants. It was a perfect summer and just so in time to see the garden bloom, an authentic burst of colors which is truly relaxing and delighting to the senses. No wonder that there are people who just drop by to take lovely pictures of the verdant garden, and let the soothing aroma of the herbs please your senses, as it is visibly found on the dining table.

On foot to the Bed and Breakfast area to, envisage staying and sleeping in a non-airconditioned room with no television to agitate serenity. Tagaytay being well-known of fresh cool freezing air making the weather agreeable that one does not need an air-conditioning. The rooms are designed with exquisite soft white curtain with shells which adds a romantic touch. Notwithstanding the idea of being surrounded by plants, natural repellents proliferate in the gardens thus, there are no irritating mosquitoes but instead charming fireflies. Picture yourself waking up in the morning to smell the aroma and see the rich garden, just outside your window. It’s the Bed and Breakfast experience which only Sonya can provide.

Visit the Country Store, the Panaderia-a bakeshop where they bake everything fresh daily- from bread to their renowned chocolate cake and brazo de Mercedes. Ms. Sonya Garcia’s trusted driver for several years before he discovered his true calling, is now the baker.
