CASA AGUELO Chocolate Hills

Taras, view, gekons

Pressure of water under shower was low, need to be fix

Vriendelijk en behulpzaam

Le casa è comodissima per visitare a piedi le chocolate hills…praticamente a 10 min a piedi dal punto panoramico. Beni e sua moglie cercano in tutti i modi di accontentarti e darti i consigli utili su cosa visitare. Hanno a disposizione anche motorini a noleggio (forse un po’ costosi rispetto al resto di Bohol).

La prima notte ci hanno dato una stanza che non era esattamente come prenotata da noi, ma hanno rimediato subito cambiandola.

L environnement et la proximité des chocolate hills. La terasse est très sympa

Notre chambre 2 lits double et salle de bain était un peu petite

Hospitality of Bernard and Portia is outstanding, they are really going out of their way to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The food and experiences are amazing and well curated

The service and location were the standout parts of the stay. Bernardo went above and beyond to curate experiences for us during our stay at no additional expense, and the driver he connected us with couldn't have been better. (To be clear, experiences with other locations cost money. The hotel did not charge us at all for organizing these itineraries) The scenery is beautiful, including a quick hike to what's essentially a privately managed chocolate hill with a nice trail to the top. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Best watermelon I had during my time in the Philippines. I was worried about being bored out in the countryside for a few days, but we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay.

The mattress and pillows are very firm. A flat sheet on the bed would have been great. A ceiling fan instead of the chandelier would have also been welcome, although the A/C was sufficient. And the water pressure wasn't stellar, but that's part of being in a rural area.

Casa Aguelo exceeded our expectations in all aspects. Its location is literally minutes from the main official tourist Chocolate Hills viewing complex, and in a quiet jungle setting. The owners and staff were extremely friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. The room was comfortable with all basic amenities. We were particularly taken with the outdoor covered deck/balcony which was nicely designed and furnished, as is the whole house! By choice we had all our meals (excellent food) served on the deck, which is very relaxing by day or by night, when the mood lighting is turned on. Casa Aguelo ticks all the boxes!

Signage to locate the property could have been better, as the access track is a little obscure.
