If you're looking for a home away from home, try booking John Hammock Vacation House in Tagaytay City. With its rustic design and homey feel, this 2000-square meter home is perfect for small company outings and team buildings because it can accommodate up to 35 people. What's more, guests can also enjoy as much coffee as they want with their very own home-grown beans as part of their compliments.

Situated at the heart of Tagaytay, LilyBoy's Bed and Breakfast was originally a retirement home of a balikbayan couple who returned in the Philippines after working in the US for 33 years. They eventually renovated the place into a vacation rental and divided it into three areas --- the Master Suite, the Family Suite, and the entire Guest House --- which can be rented out separately. The style of the bed and breakfast is an eclectic mix of Filipino, Spanish-colonial, and Mission Style with its capiz windows, hardwood floors, clay and concrete floors, kawayan furniture, and rattan ceilings. Also, they have a pool and a gazebo which makes the B&B ideal for families and barkadas looking for a fun place to unwind and enjoy the provincial atmosphere.
