Batangas: pousadas

With its Spanish/Filipino/Dutch colonial architecture I can’t help but ruminate the time back in the 17th century when galleon ships can still enter what was then a salty Taal Lake. The place offers a panoramic view of Taal Volcano and the Tagaytay ridge, truly a magical, mystical, and charming place. I would recommend to get a copy and read ‘The Mysteries of Taal: A Philippine Volcano and Lake, Her Sea Life and Lost Towns by Thomas Hargrove’ while lounging in the garden of this farmhouse.

It was one of our best staycations last year! Hopefully, we'll get to stay here again this year for a much longer time, together with our Lolas. The cottage was very homey, the design is very similar to old Spanish houses and the house looks authentic, neat and clean. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, they would always greet you with a smile. For anyone who wants to unwind and relax, do a socmed detox and stay here for a couple of days, I would recommend at least a 3-day stay. Oh, and try to avail of their spa and massage services! One of the best 💯 It will really cost you to stay here but it's definitely worth it. Thank you, Sonya's Garden! ❣️

The place is literally a breath of fresh air. The weather during our stay was perfect. Their steak was fabulous. Just a note, your favorite pet's stay comes with a fee (800/day) not mentioned on Airbnb.

Our stay has been great. Ma'am Yolanda was very responsive and the caretaker, Kuya Rene, was very friendly. The location was great for us as the venues for the event we were attending are just nearby. The location was quiet and peaceful. The free breakfast was a plus!

Staying at Joyce's place was an incredible experience. We had a great time

Marlon's place was good and their staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely book a reservation again in the future

Nice place to get a quick R&R. Food was good although a bit pricey. There's already a complimentary breakfast included in the booking. We had no issues other than finding the actual place. Tip: Search "Lotuspod" directly instead of using the Waze/Google Map link in booking. Otherwise you'll be routed into a private farm. Haha.

Ataalaya B&B was absolutely lovely; a relaxing and beautiful home away from home. I loved the combination of Spanish colonial and Philippine native decor, plus the breathtaking view of the lake. Our room was comfortable and there were a number of living spaces where we could lounge around. Hosts, Patty and Mike, were friendly and way too kind. Ate Neng was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The breakfast she prepared was simply unforgettable! I would not mind coming back another time and would certainly recommend this to family and friends.

I'm from the same town where the listing is located so I feel comfortable going to and staying at Kayama. The whole property is nice and huge. They have 4 rooms and are perfect for 12 adults, this being said, I wished they had a more lenient policy for little or younger children. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds. The bathroom was clean, too, but gets slippery when wet, and there was no need to use the heater so I'm unsure if they are working. We loved the karaoke (videoke)😆 The staff on duty were accommodating. I also like that they have free breakfast with brewed kapeng barako. Overall we loved our stay even though it was quick. Even though the weather was hot during the day because it is summer the warm pool water was perfect on a chilly summer night.

spent holy week with my senior parents and we definitely had a great time good placd to unwind, bond with family and disconnect from the busy city life comfy beds and hotel like amenities

Marius’ b&b is homey, peaceful and, as described, surrounded by nature. Definitely a good value for our short yet comfortable stay in Silang. Other returning guests even only had good things to say about the place when I had a chat with them at the dining area. Marius is very responsive and accommodating as a host; he greeted us warmly and checked us out at the times I informed him we’d come and go.

I recently stayed at this bnb, and it was a great experience. The cozy atmosphere, personalized attention from the hosts, friendly dogs, and thoughtfully lighted pathways created a warm ambiance. The homemade breakfast was great, showcasing local flavors. The genuine hospitality made it a memorable getaway. Highly recommend for those seeking a more intimate and personalized lodging experience 🌟

a breathtaking place especially in cabin 3 where you can see the sunrise that i enjoy so much....a well deserved rest for my tired soul.

If you're longing for a change of scenery away from the concrete jungle, we recommend a visit to Verdant Acre Farm. Host/Tintin's mom, Mrs. Ciron, tends to her beautiful garden with passion and lots of TLC. With two inviting pools, a jacuzzi big enough for ten or so, and lots of space for the kids to roam, this place is sure to keep everyone engaged. They even have some farm animals as well as ponds teeming with fish. It is a family home that they opened up for guests so you wouldn't feel that you're in a "commercialized" resort. Their staff are awesome and will attend to your needs. Delicious home cooked meals are a big plus!

keep up the good work. The stay is recommended to everyone.

Comfortable stay

We loved our stay at Baywalk Resort. The owner was extremely nice, accommodating, and humble. Its an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location with a constant cool breeze and waves from the lake that resembles an oceanfront experience. The view of the volcano is stunning, especially at sunrise. We really felt at home and comfortable there. The host and staff were nearby and very helpful and gave us as much personal attention as we needed while staying out of the way for our privacy at other times. He gave us helpful recommendations on nearby restaurants and local attractions. We will definitely come back, and hope to book multiple rooms for our family as there is a common cooking, outside patio full of beautiful flowering plants and trees, and pool that we can enjoy. The breakfast was amazing and tasty, clearly made with love and style. What an amazing place this is!
