Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar
|
A living museum of Philippine customs and traditions are re-born in a community typical of the 18th
to early 20thcentury Philippines. Historical Principalia or noble class mansions, House of Stone or Bahay na Bato and Wooden Stilt houses that once, were old and decaying architectural pieces of a bygone era and slowly fading into the background of modern urban life are now, restored in a picturesque setting reminiscent of a Juan Luna or Amorsolo paintings. These architectural treasures that have been carefully and painstakingly reconstructed from different parts of the country and rebuilt, “brick by brick” and “plank by plank” now , stand resplendent with pride against a backdrop of majestic mountains, expansive rice fields and a running river that flows to the sea.
Currently, there are twenty seven heritage architectures, each full with memories and history.
Walking along village cobblestone streets or riding one of the caruajes (horse-drawn carriages) commands
a feeling of nostalgia and wonder, romance and appreciation of simple living at its best.
At Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, the legacy of our forefathers and the beautiful Filipino traditions live on.
It is a step back into the past, reliving the age- old traditions and practices distinct to our culture, without leaving the luxury and comforts of the modern world.
A showcase of Filipino talent, ingenuity and craftsmanship, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar takes pride
in the past... And keeps its hope for the future. |

A stay in Fundacion Pacita Batanes Nature Lodge goes beyond the rejuvenating views of the province's breathtaking scenery. It also supports two things close to Pacita's heart: Batanes and art.

Coocon Botique Hotel
t was Mother Nature herself who set the standard in luxurious homes — a cocoon. A sanctuary that covers you in softness.
A home, which though temporary, envelopes you in warmth. A nesting place where you can safely let nature take its course and you come out renewed and invigorated. It is luxury that is relaxing and serene, rather than decadent and indulgent. It is pleasure that is refined and subdued, rather than opulent. At Cocoon Boutique Hotel, we took our cue from Mother Nature herself and created our own standard of green luxury. Pleasurable serenity is replicated in the sleep and bath experience we offer our guests. Metamorphosis is made possible with in-hotel facilities where the body is refreshed (aesthetic clinic), rejuvenated (spa & salon), and nourished (specialty restaurants). And warmth and sunshine are mirrored in the smiles of our staff and their discreet way of attending to your every need.
This is luxury the way Mother Nature would have intended it.
