Made with nipa and bamboo, bahay kubos have provided homes for indigenous groups in the country for hundreds of years, and have become an icon in Filipino culture.  It seems that the appreciation for the classic Filipino home is growing even in the accommodation industry, just like in Casa Carlita, a resort in Lipa City.

Casa Carlita Resort & Events Place

Location: Hagimit Road Purok 6, Brgy. Kayumanggi 4703 Lipa City, Batangas

Nestled in Lipa City, Batangas, Casa Carlita Resort & Events Place has become a favorite place among Batangueños for weddings, celebrations, or a quick getaway during the holidays. Companies love having their events here too. The resort is catered by the famous Rafa’s Kitchen, which offers guests a sumptuous dining experience while on vacation.

Entering the resort, you’ll be greeted with their famous bahay kubo villas of two kinds. The private villas are two-story bahay kubos that have a single bed with a pull out on the first floor and a queen-sized bed on the second floor. This villa can accommodate up to six persons.

The glass doors lead to the villa’s bamboo terrace, which has a table and chairs for guests to lounge in.
