Paradise hidden at heart of Laguna

Casa San Pablo is a little piece of Heaven located at the South. Area is very quite, far from the busy district, far from your work and problems. Here you can relax and just be yourself a way from they city pressure.

For you to get to know about Casa San Pablo look at this picture below.

The ambiance of Casa San Pablo is Modrern Nostalgia. With its home made handicrafts, retro pieces and unique interior. Bits and pieces of this place will take you to your own childhood.

When I went to Casa San Pablo (2011), I don't have any leave credits yet and the only available day for me too relax or take a break is over the weekend with my 2 Day Offs.

Thankfully Casa San Pablo offers Day Tour Packages that can fit my schedule.

Having that quick getaway. A way from work and pollution.

This was the package I was able to get :

PhP1,250++ per person

With native Laguna food for Lunch and two snacks (morning and afternoon)
With 1 free room from 11Am to 5Pm
Check-in time as early as 8AM, check-out as late as 5PM.
Use of ALL the resort amenities

I don't have a car to use for this trip, but that was not a hindrance for me to go to this paradise.
Lemme tell you what I did.

=====================================================================

Every room in Casa San Pablo is unique. My room was Room 7 which is located at the second floor. The bed is bit smaller than the regular twin size bed so the room is ideal for solo occupant or for couples. It has a writing desk and balcony that overlooks the main pavilion of Casa San Pablo. Room is very retro specially the toilet and shower ;)

ROOM 7

•   One (1) twin-sharing bed
•   Airconditioned
•   One (1) toilet & shower area with hot water
•   Flat-screen TV

Food in Casa San Pablo is all about the all time Filipino Favorite Meriendas or Snacks and Native Laguna Dishes. In my Day Tour Package it includes Morning Snacks, Buffet Lunch and Afternoon Snacks.

Sorry, I was not able to take pictures during Lunch because I was charging the camera battery. Anyway, lunch was buffet. I won't forget the tilapia wrap around some banana leaf with gata for lunch. And for merienda? TURON with Langka was the best. I even ordered some take-out. BEST TURON I have ever tasted in my whole entire life.

Morning Snacks
Ginataang Mais and Suman

While waiting for the food to be served, there is this man in green shirt whom I noticed who keeps on fixing books, cleaning the tables and checking the rooms.

LOOK FOR THE GREEN MAN

This man was the very same man who greeted and welcomed me at Casa San Pablo. He was very friendly and approachable. This man was very nice to show me around that he even invited inside this big house located at Casa San Pablo.
