A great way to start the year is to relax and unwind in Tagaytay. Tagaytay has a perfect weather for tourists, it has a sunny and cold breeze vibe. This is also a great way for me to start the new term right (for Mapuans)t. I stayed at an Italian inspired place which is Villa Marinelli Bed and Breakfast Hometelle. Experience a home away from home luxury service. The place is boasted as the picturesque view of Taal Volcano. Wake up and eat with a full view of the world famous volcano and Taal Lake.
Get out of the busy life un the metro and relax to this perfect getaway here in Tagaytay. Villa Marinelli Hometelle has 5 deluxe rooms and 4 VIP suites. The whole place is Italian inspired. You’ll enjoy your stay here because they have green garden with lots of flower that compliments the relaxing ambiance of the place.

Rooms
All of the rooms here are equipped with LED TVs, Cable TV, Wi-Fi connection, Inverter-type airconditioner, sophisticated toilet and rain shower fixtures, safety deposit, mini bar, and hair dryer.
I stayed in their deluxe room. I must say the room itself is spacious. My bes here is a Queen sized bed that is so soft and comfy. They also have a wide mirror and lots of outlet for your gadgets which I love. That’s a plus for me because some hotels have only 2-3 outlets but here there are 9 pairs of outlet. My favorite part of the room is the rain shower fixture of the bath room. That’s why I love taking a shower here.
One more reason why it is a good choice to stay here is that the staff are so friendly. All smiles from my first day up until I leave the place. Seeing smiling faces are so relaxing.
