Our Favorite Overnight Get-Aways # 3 - Mommy's Pick - The Coffee FarmHouse

I was at first so hesitant to tell people about this place because we feel that it would lose its secluded magic if too many people know about it.  Parang laruan na paborito mo, may dilemma ka kasi gusto mong ipagyabang, pero ayaw mo ipahiram sa iba at ayaw mo rin na bumili ang iba kasi gusto mo ikaw lang ang may ganun sa lahat ng kabarkada mo.

I consider this one of our best out of town trips ever.  We went to the Coffee FarmHouse two years ago, during my 28th birthday (bakit parang nasa favorite list namin palagi ang mga birthday destinations ko? :). Travel time is approximately 2 hours from Manila.  It was the most peaceful, relaxing vacation we've ever had. The food was great - the package included home-cooked delicious food from AM merienda of the first day to lunch of the following day. The amenities were complete - we swam, played basketball, volleyball, badminton, rode bikes, scooters and twister cars, played scrabble and sungka, sang videoke. The weather was cool. Check-in time was at 8am on the first day and check-out was at 5pm of the following day, so we didn't feel rushed and bitin. Best of all, since we checked in on a Sunday, we had the more than one hectare property all to ourselves.

When we stayed there, we were personally attended to by the husband and wife (Tito Bert and Tita Bebeth) who own the place. They were the ones who cooked for us, made sure that we were entertained and comfortable throughout our entire stay.

We paid P2,350 each for Arn and myself and P1,900 for Gael (We didn't have to pay for Araw.  Toddlers 3 yo and below are free of charge.)  Included meals are morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner for the first day; and breakfast, morning snack and lunch for the second day.  There's free overflowing coffee (syempre dahil coffee farmhouse sila)!  Their kare-kare is to die for - super, super, SUPER sarap!

And yes, we hope to be able to come back here soon.  Next time, with the whole family.
