Sometimes we need a break from our busy lives, and one of the ways we can do that is to book a stay at a bed and breakfast. Bed and breakfasts literally offer a bed to sleep in and breakfast for guests the next morning, and while that’s basic compared to the services that hotels and resorts offer, there are advantages to staying in one.

Bed and breakfast accommodations are perfect for staycations as they provide a more quiet, private, and homey atmosphere that will help you relax, chill, and melt your stress away. Staycations are also one of the best rainy season activities in the Philippines

 

 



It’s not difficult to find a bed and breakfast in the Philippines, and for those living in Manila, it’s even easier to find a bed and breakfast near Manila that suits your budget, traveling party, and other preferences, as there are several options in the nearby provinces that you can choose from.

We’ve compiled a list of the best ones so you can easily find one to book for your next quick getaway:

Located in Zambales, Casa San Miguel is not only a bed and breakfast, but it is also an event venue, a music and art school, and a museum. Like many bed and breakfast places, Casa San Miguel was originally a family property.

In 1993, violinist Coke Bolipata officially established the place, and since then, it has been called home by generations of artists. This place is perfect for those who love art, as the place itself feels like a piece of art in itself and has an art gallery with exhibits that change regularly.



You can stay at a Studio, Deluxe, or King Deluxe Room which can fit up to four guests. Casa San Miguel is also home to Café Virtuosi, which serves pizza and pasta, as well as its famous special polvoron. While it is best for a staycation, guests can also visit San Miguel Beach, which is less than 1KM away from the bed and breakfast.

From Manila, you can go on NLEX, take the Olongapo Exit, and head toward San Miguel, Zambales. Casa San Miguel is near the San Miguel Provincial Road.

Thanks to the many Laguna resorts that include bed and breakfasts, this south of Manila province is a good option for a quick staycation outside of Manila. Located in San Pablo is Sulyap, a gallery, restaurant, and bed and breakfast all rolled into one.

Staying at their bed and breakfast will transport you back in time, as its five casas all feature colonial-era architecture, capiz shell windows, and wooden furniture. Solo travelers and couples will enjoy a stay in Casa de Obando, which has rooms that are suited for up to two guests. The other three casas, Case de Alitagtag, Casa San Juan, and Casa del Remedio, are more suited for friends and family, as they have rooms that can comfortably accommodate 4 to 6 people. 

The gallery café and restaurant is known for its Filipino cuisine, including dishes native to San Pablo. During your visit, you may also check out the Sulyap Museum, which is home to hundreds of artifacts.
