“Amazing Villa in the middle of the jungle”
+We had a wonderful stay at the villa, even though it ended up being shorter than planned. We had originally booked two nights, but unfortunately couldn’t stay the first night due to our late flight arrival in Bicol and the low tide, which made access to the villa impossible at that time. It’s important to note that the villa is only accessible by a 10-minute boat ride from Pilar port, so arrival times need to be planned accordingly. Thankfully, Baltazar was incredibly responsive and not only arranged a hotel in central Pilar for our first night, but also covered the cost, which we truly appreciated. The team made our stay truly special. We received a very warm welcome from Stifanny, who also organizes airport transfers, Daniel, who manages the boat trips between the port and the villa, and Sylvia and her colleague, who prepared delicious meals throughout our stay,they are fantastic cooks! On our last day, Stifanny even organized a private tour for us around the volcano and Legazpi while driving us to the airport, which was a perfect way to end our trip. The location is absolutely stunning, right in the heart of the jungle, offering a peaceful and unique atmosphere. The villa itself

“A Real Hidden Gem”
+Absolute hidden gem and perfect for a few days of relaxation and quality family time. The Villa is beautiful with very tastefully crafted furnishings and stunning views. All meals exceeded our expectations and was freshly prepared and cooked onsite daily - delicious. Big thank you to Chris & Gemma for looking after us at site and for whom nothing was too much and a big thank you to our host Baltazar for wonderful remote support. Would definitely love to visit again. We loved the 10 minute boat ride from the port and the arrival which emphasized the wonderful seclusion and tropical vibe of the place from the outset. There are several breakout places which added to the overall Villa, grounds and views experience.
−Our intention was to immerse ourselves in the Villa experience which for us was perfect for our 2 night stay. For those seeking trips out of the Villa these will need to be planned and coordinated around the tides and if we stayed longer we would have been very interested to do.

“Remote stay”
+The best part about the villa is the staff especially Chris the manager and chef. The meals were delicious and he even made a few special requests for us. The moment you are picked up at the airport you are taken care of. The villa itself is nice with wonderful outdoor spaces. The location is unique because it takes 10 min boat ride to get there. Come for the house but stay because of the staff.
−The tours that the owner sent had doubled in price from the tour company with no explanation. The tour operator was rude when I questioned her about it. The owner made it right and scheduled a private boat right away.

“Für uns nicht, für andere vielleicht gut geeignet.”
+Die Kommunikation war schnell und einfach. Alles wurde sehr gut organisiert, was Abholung etc angeht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Unterkunft ist an sich sehr schön. Sicher gut für Menschen, die absolut gar nichts machen wollen außer in die Landschaft zu schauen.
−Wir wussten nicht, dass es da nur Wasser gibt. Alles andere (andere Getränke, Snacks) muss im Voraus bestellt werden, so dass wir bis zum vorbestellen Dinner warten mussten, um etwas zu Essen zu bekommen. Morgens früh los, muss man bei Ebbe viele Meter durch den Morast zum Wasser laufen, so dass wir einen Tag früher abreisen mussten, um das Flugzeug zu bekommen und nicht nachts um 3 Uhr durch den Schlamm zum Boot zu waten. Am Strand gelegen, ist auch ein Euphemismus, da ein Steg nur ins flache Wasser oder in den Schlamm führt.
