Welcome to a vacation home and a gallery! Our house, the second house in Villa Maria, is nestled on a 2,000 sq.m. property and offers excellent accommodation for small families, friends, and groups on tour of up to 6 people. Over 1,700 sq.m. is dedicated to a beautifully lit open park of grass and trees, jogging/walking track, and garden plots of various organically grown herbs and vegetables. The house is decorated with paintings of gifted Filipino artists.

Our house maximized the use and value of space at a gated Villa Maria in Mansilingan, Bacolod City. Maria is the first name of my wife, Liza. The house was originally our staff house in the villa. When in Bacolod, we stay here in the villa to unwind, relax, and breathe oxygen from the plants and trees.

The villa has a large garden which can be used for outdoor functions such as weddings, birthday parties, or family reunions. The entire villa is beautifully lit at night.

The house is the second of the two houses in the villa listed on ------- (The first house is for a big group of up to 14 people.) It is fully furnished and fully air conditioned. The bedrooms are air conditioned with window type units and fitted with hotel quality beds, duvet, bed linen, and soft pillows. The living, dining, and kitchen areas come with a 2hp window type airconditioning unit.

The villa has a brand new 45 KVA standby generator. Its capacity is more than sufficient to energise the property during power outages.

There is a brand new 12 seater Toyota Hi Ace Grandia in the villa to serve airport transfers, city tours, and out of town adventures exclusively for our guests at affordable rates. Guests only pay for the transpo and we can prepare an itinerary for free. There is also a 5 seater Manual Transmission Toyota Hilux Truck for small group of guests.
