Valentines Dinner at Casa San Miguel

I’ve wanted to spend Valentines in Casa San Miguel Zambales and this was our year. It was a supposed full course candle lit dinner for 2 for only 1500 with the Virtuosi but for some circumstances it was cancelled. 

We were serenaded by kids instead and they were amazing, while having our dinner. We had pizza and pasta and the unlimited coffee. Dinner was nice and was actually relaxing. The classy and rustic vibe is still there and for me this is the perfect place to have dinner with a loved one. Everything is romantic.

My Valentines!

Royale Rumble Slim's Favorite

After dinner we were contemplating where to go. I originally planned on spending the evening at Casa’s room but we impulsively decided to drive to Baguio instead. We got a new travel buddy so time to test its capabilities.

We were napping on the road every chance we got and arrived at Baguio around 2am. We stayed at the transient place we stayed at last December. What did we do here?

Our home in Baguio

We went on a food trip and met Slim’s colleague who just got married. We also tried going to Bencab which was closed on Monday’s, Oh my Gulay which is also closed on Monday’s and Cafe in the Sky who are not allowed to operate by DENR. I spoke with the owner and cafe employee but we were still not allowed to go up. We just went to Cafe by the Ruins and enjoyed our lunch.

On our way home, I asked Slim if it is okay to check the Bed and Breakfast place in San Antonio, Zambales. I don't have a clue about the price range yet but if it's beyond our range we'll have to eat lunch in Subic.

We got there by 10:30.

Casa San Miguel

I was surprised that they have an entrance ticket of 100php. I skipped reading that part in some blogs I've read. But you can tour at the place (more selfies) and the ticket comes with an unlimited refill of Starbucks Roasted Coffee(I forgot the flavor). That 100php can go places too. The place I believe is music and arts school that supports children who can't afford education. So 100php is not bad. I mean you get coffee and it's not an ordinary coffee but Starbucks.
The place is dainty. It makes you sophisticated on how artistic the place is set-up.

We decided to eat lunch here since the price is okay. We ordered pizza which took an hour to prepare so we had enough time to look around and drink coffee. I'd like to say that I'll make this place as my retreat. Just looking at how the place is set-up makes me feel like I'm radiating rainbows! I have been to different restaurants, even hotels and this is nothing compared to those posh places. I feel like I'm in Italy or Rome. =P

We ordered Royale Rumble. Slim said this is the best pizza ever. Brick Oven bake and a combo of everything they have.

Mango Polvoron. Famous for being served during Obama's visit.

Casa San Miguel Bed and Breakfast is also a good jump point to Anawangin and Capones so if you're not a camper like me you can stay overnight here. The rates for 2 during low season I believe is 1500 but I didn't take note so I'm not really sure. I remember 2250 rate plus bfast but wasn't sure if it was for a high or low season.

I can only imagine how this looked last Vday.

An overnight getaway is just what we needed, but it felt like we have been out for 4 days!
Until our next  travel!
