Farmstay vacation rentals in Occidental Mindoro

With its Spanish/Filipino/Dutch colonial architecture I can’t help but ruminate the time back in the 17th century when galleon ships can still enter what was then a salty Taal Lake. The place offers a panoramic view of Taal Volcano and the Tagaytay ridge, truly a magical, mystical, and charming place. I would recommend to get a copy and read ‘The Mysteries of Taal: A Philippine Volcano and Lake, Her Sea Life and Lost Towns by Thomas Hargrove’ while lounging in the garden of this farmhouse.

We had a great time. Staff was vert courteous and they treated our pets very well. The tree house lodging is very unique and worth it considering the price point and also please don't expect too much from it, if you want a hotel room then book the hotel or villa instead, it is intended for the outdoors. With that in mind! The view was superb, the pool was great and not crowded and you can choose between the infinity pool, gorilla pool and the pakwan pool. As for the farm, it's nice and being developed, you can even buy plants inorder to grow them at home.

Spent a wonderful weekend breather at Ataalaya Farmhouse after a hectic work week. My stress level immediately went down upon entering the gates. All you will see is greenery and nature at its finest. Lots of areas for photo ops perfect for photography junkies like us. The house itself excudes a charming vibe, it feels like you entered a different time. My daughter and I had a good night sleep and woke up feeling refreshed hearing only the sound of birds and rustling of leaves. We really enjoyed the hearty breakfast prepared by Ate Neng at the balcony facing the sunrise. Ate Neng was super wonderful when I had a diemma with my car keys, she immediately searched for a mechanic to help me. Wifi signal is actually good, was able to connect nonstop. My only regret is not staying longer. I will definitely go back with families and friends next time. Thank you Ms Patricia for letting us stay in your beautiful paradise

We had a great time at Maranan's Farmville. We like the overall farm-swimming experience though its a little far than expected and got terribly lost on our way despite using both our car navigator and google map. :) Good thing the locals are very helpful in giving directions, all of them stopped and tried their best to help us (random walking guy, tricycle driver and boy-duo). 😁 Tried calling but my Mobile Phone LTE can't get a strong consistent signal. Our Car Radio also had a hard time getting any FM station so better to have your own playlist ready. We stayed at the Villa B, surprisingly its a loft type with two beds. Climbing the ladder/stairs may be a little tough for older folks, but my adventurous teens found it "challenging yet nice". There are a number of mishaps (toilet door jammed, can't close the toilet window, one of my kid slipped on the steps, stepped on unknown animal poop). The pro's outnumbered the con's though cause we enjoyed the pools, the soft bed linens & fresh towels, the food (turmeric chicken and bbqs) and drinks (tried all but enjoyed basil-calamansi and blue ternatea the most), feeding "Cesar" the monkey, walking around with our dog Jacob unleashed, my whole body massage and most specially the warm-courteous-prompt accommodation of all the staff. With God's grace, hope to be back again someday soon. All the best.

Ataalaya B&B was absolutely lovely; a relaxing and beautiful home away from home. I loved the combination of Spanish colonial and Philippine native decor, plus the breathtaking view of the lake. Our room was comfortable and there were a number of living spaces where we could lounge around. Hosts, Patty and Mike, were friendly and way too kind. Ate Neng was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The breakfast she prepared was simply unforgettable! I would not mind coming back another time and would certainly recommend this to family and friends.

Place was nice and very peaceful surrounding. Host was nice enough to let us have a late check out which we appreciated so much. All in all our stay was awesome. We had a really nice family bonding.

FloraTed’s place was perfect! Great location and close to everything and safely located. The property was just beautiful, we had room #1 and it was very nice, neat, clean, and well maintained! Perfect room size for 4 people with nice comfy bed and pillows, bathroom was good size with shower & warm water. There was a TV, table with 4 chairs, nice size cabinet, small refrigerator and small kitchen. I love how the room and entire place was simply decorated. The front entrance and front yard was super clean and amazing landscaping. It was also such an easy check in process and the owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks to Mr Ted for being very helpful, accommodating, providing us with some recommendations and quickly replying to all my inquiries via Airbnb chat message application. THANK YOU to all the staff at FloraTed’s place! I would highly recommend this place! Loved San Pascual Batangas! We had an awesome stay and perfect accommodation!

We had a great stay in this property with the warm welcome of the hosts especially the very accommodating staffs ate myrna and kuya bobot. The place is very huge and there are a lot of activities to do. We’ll definitely book this property again

First, I’d like to extend a big thank you to Ms. Maria Christina and her family for being so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They truly made us feel at home and were incredibly accommodating. My husband and I, along with our two dogs (a beagle and a basset-beagle mix), thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip, thanks to the warm and cozy atmosphere of the property. The farm next to the house and the easy beach access created a relaxing and peaceful vibe that we loved. The outdoor kitchen made cooking and cleanup convenient, and the bedroom was just right for our small family to unwind and recharge. The private pool, located right outside the bedroom door, was an added touch of luxury that we really appreciated. Plus, the host generously provided breakfast each morning and even sent us home with a fresh vegetable platter! A few notes to keep in mind: while the property is accessible for sedans, a 4x4 is ideal for the rough road leading there. Also, the bathroom is a bit compact,
