Your Peaceful Retreat in Valencia Awaits! 🌿
Hi to our Valued Guests,
A warm hello from Dumaguete! We're so excited that you'll be staying at Villa Baoli and experiencing the tranquil beauty of Valencia.
What makes our villa unique? It's your own private garden sanctuary. Nestled in a serene setting, the villa is designed for ultimate relaxation and indoor-outdoor living. You'll love spending time in our spacious, landscaped garden—a perfect spot for morning yoga, reading in the Gasebo, or enjoying family barbecues in the fresh mountain air. The villa itself is filled with comfortable, thoughtful touches and decor that blends modern comfort with a relaxed tropical vibe.
While we're excited to add a pool in the future, the real magic here is the access to nature. We are perfectly positioned for you to explore the breathtaking Twin Lakes, the majestic Casaroro Falls, and the natural springs that Valencia is famous for.
To help you feel welcome, we'll ensure the garden is beautifully lit for your evenings and provide a comprehensive guide to our favorite local spots. My personal passion is exploring the hidden trails and swimming holes in the area, and I'm always happy to share directions to a secret spot!
We're here to make your stay incredibly relaxing and memorable.
Warmly,
The Villa Baoli Team
