La Huerta de Rosario, Baao, Camarines Sur

I tried Airbnb the first time for our trip to Bicol. I booked the only garden bed and breakfast I found in Camarines Sur , called La Huerta de Rosario. The 2 bedroom casita  costs less than Php1000 per day. The owner is an artist (some of her paintings are displayed in the casita). She was easy to deal with and responded to questions very promptly. The caretakers and the students doing their on the job training were very attentive and friendly. 

The casita is still a work in progress but could potentially become a comfortable vacation house when completed. I like that it is surrounded with porch. 

The bed is made of wood with rattan weave called solohiya). And extra bed meant local mat. :) So when in La Huerta be prepared to sleep the traditional way. To my surprise I slept comfortably and my back pain from the long road trip was gone!

The following day the students served our pre ordered breakfast and offered to give us a quick tour of the farm. 

And the pili trees are a lot shorter than the usual and the fruits are within reach. 

Were staying another night tonight before we head to Sorsogon, our hometown.

Big thanks to Bernadette and her staff and the students for the pleasant stay.
