About
Brze činjenice: Classic Spanish-colonial furniture and capiz-shell windows give the house an old-world glow, making every room feel like a living postcard. Guided tours pass along lively family anecdotes and a surprising inventory of over 200 household items, from silver trays to embroidered barongs.
Istaknuto: A sunlit parlor fills with pearly light from more than 120 capiz panes, the glow tracing lace doilies and hand-painted furniture so you can almost overhear past conversations. Staff demonstrators play the original upright piano for about 10 minutes each Sunday, its slightly out-of-tune chords and the warm smell of old varnish making the wooden rooms feel remarkably lived-in.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable, quiet shoes because original wooden floors and narrow stairs creak and can be slippery.
- Ask for the short guided tour at the entrance, guides point out original furniture and family stories you will miss on your own.
- Take photos from the second-floor balcony and the courtyard for the best composition and light; avoid using flash indoors.
- Avoid midday visits on weekends, arrive early or late afternoon to skip the largest tour groups.
