PBW9: Sitio De Amor Farm Resort
by SassyMom on Nov.15, 2009, under Beauty of Nature, Family Get-Together, Philippine Travel, Pixel Bug Weekend, Travel, Vacation
Coming home in the Philippines after having stayed in the State most of your life, you’d definitely want to see the country. And since my balikbayan cousin-in-law only had a few days to stay here we decided to bring her on a trip south of Manila.
The itinerary was a road trip to Laguna and Quezon. We visited a lot of wonderful places but for this week’s Pixelbug Weekend, I will feature the Sitio de Amor, the place we where we stayed. Sitio de Amor is part of the Viaje del Sol — featuring the tourist destinations of the south from San Pablo, Laguna to Quezon. It is a 4.5 hectare orchard between Mt. San Cristobal and Mt. Banahaw. If you are looking for a place to rest and just enthrall yourself to the beauty of nature, this place will surely entice you.
As you arrive, you are welcomed by their complimentary welcome drink — fresh coconut. Make sure to request that it be placed inside the fridge prior to your arrival.
One of the rooms we occupied had a refreshing view of the lagoon. The water from the lagoon comes from Balanga River. Waking up to such an amazing view will truly rejuvenate you — far from the hustle bustle of the city.
The main pavilion is perfect for wedding receptions and other special occasions. As we were having breakfast, a young couple was there making sure the final arrangements for their upcoming reception are in place. Quite a romantic place, I might say especially during the night when all the lights are lit.
Aside from the room with a view of the lagoon, they also have a tree house which you can rent for PhP10,000/night. This could fit around 10 people. The other two rooms were beside each other, Duhat and Caimito which you can rent at PhP3,500 and PhP4,000 respectively.
For those who want to cool down, you can take a dip in their infinity pool. Just the thing for our summer climate.

wow nice place to stay

the place looks like a great place to visit. never mind the price. i can see nature even just through these photos. Infinity pool? Looks like a paradise water.
I wonder how big is their tree house that it can accommodate 10 persons. That’s so cool.
The cottages or rooms like yours at the lesser price, i wonder how many can it accommodate?
I enjoyed your photos.
Happy MOnday!

wowwowweee!! Ang ganda! Ayan may plano na kami magpunta dito sa summer! By the way yung americolor food coloring nga pala e nabili ko sa ebay. Naku e nagsisi pa nga ako kasi pagkabili ko nakakita ako ng ganun sa megamall. Nalimutan ko yung name ng store pero malapit sya sa toy kingdom. Yun lang naman ang nag isang bilihan ng mga baking products dun.
