Mig has been inviting us to come over but just have not had the chance to go to Dumaguete.  But we will one day Mig! Meantime, I told Mig I will post about his place so in case you are looking for a place to go to in the Philippines, I heard Dumaguete is nice! 

 And stay here at Migs’ family’s place

 It looks so nice and cozy! 

Come home to one of Dumaguete’s finest hotels…

Florentina Homes

“a happy place”

Florentina Homes is your home away from home. It is an apartment-style hotel that is tucked away in quiet, residential area in Dumaguete City. It gives you the perfect accommodation in Dumaguete, and you’re guaranteed of a relaxed, worry-free stay. You can look forward to the perfect escape everytime. It is one of the homiest hotels in Dumaguete, so your stay is bound to be a cozy one – whether you’re looking for a quick weekend getaway, or you need a place to stay and bond with your family, or even if you’re traveling with a group.

This fine hotel in Dumaguete is composed of 3 European-themed stand-alone buildings (Swiss, Spanish-Mediterranean, English Tudor), housing 9 apartment units that suit the discriminating tastes of travelers. Get transported to the world’s favorite destinations without having to leave the country, and without having to pay for exorbitant fares.  

Mimic the feeling of being in a cozy cabin in the Alps. This Dumaguete hotel has units that have a Swiss motiff. Swiss units have crisp, clean furnishings and have light-colored interiors.

Or if you’re after old-world charm with a twist, you can stay in the Spanish-Mediterranean themed units. These charming units are colorful, and with red bricks and tiles, a spacious balcony and romantic lighting. You’d instantly feel like a dashing matador, or a beautiful senorita.

Bask in the simplicity and homey atmosphere of the Tudor units, reminiscent of home furnishings in England.

One cannot help but notice the lush greenery, of tropical plants growing, framing and accentuating the building frames and adorning every corner of the establishment.

All 9 units are fully-furnished, with 2 bedrooms each, enough to accommodate 4 occupants comfortably. They also have a service area that has a toilet and bath, as well as spacious laundry space. Being an apartment hotel, daily clean-up service is available. A perfect accommodation for young families and groups seeking short or medium term stay in the city.

Units also have living rooms, where you can lounge and relax, telephones, as well as cable TV, so you never miss out on your favorite shows. And free Wi-Fi to keep you in touch with the world. Invite a few friends over and meet at the apartment. It would be very hard for you to resist the inviting couches in the living room – you simply cannot help but get de-stressed. Truly, this accommodation has nothing but the visitors’ well-being and relaxation in mind.

Setting it apart from most of the hotels in Dumaguete, Florentina Homes is equipped with all the comforts of home. It has airconditioned rooms, so you’re assured of a restful sleep. And handpainted overhead fans if you choose natural air. If you’re trying to save, or if you’d rather not eat out, or if you bought local produce and fresh meat and fish from the local market, each unit is equipped with a fully-furnished kitchen, and dining table, so you can cook your own meals.

Feeling lazy and would rather relax?.. you can order room service from the in-house restaurant, Gabby’s Bistro. You don’t need to travel far for great-tasting, reasonably-priced meals. Aside from offering delectable comfort cuisine, the in-house restaurant, Gabby’s Bistro, also has wireless Internet, so you can catch up on work, or simply surf the Internet. Enjoy the unique colorful and cozy ambiance of a Swiss restaurant, with different nooks and corners, each spot offering its own special feel, with personal hand painted artwork and tasteful design evident from all angles. And you can choose to dine in the air-conditioned interior or feel the tropical breeze in the charming al-fresco area, with acoustic band music playing on selected nights, guaranteed to make your dining experience enjoyable and memorable.

And right across Gabby’s Bistro is the Rana Verde Coffee shop and Mini Plaza, a complimentary addition to the whole development, with a rustic Mexican motif, further adding to the international flavor of the complex. Rana Verde houses a completely enchanting coffee shop, with its cute and cozy interiors artfully decorated and handpainted, unmatched in its uniqueness and charm. We also have a little Boutique there where you can bring home a couple of souvenirs of your stay in Florentina Homes and Dumaguete. Fruits in Ice Cream is now in Dumaguete so grab a cup and experience real ice cream!

For a bit of exercise and a feel of the tropics, guests can lounge around and swim in The Oasis swimming pool. Superbly designed with fun, recreation, relaxation, and restful ambiance in mind, all rolled into one gorgeous little tropical paradise tucked away in a quiet private corner of the hotel compound, inviting one and all to unwind and free their minds and bodies of worries and stress. The pool has its own swim up bar, a slide for the young-at-heart, lots of in-pool benches to sit around, and from a minimum of 1 ft depth to its deepest point of 4ft, the pool is clearly designed to be very friendly for all to enjoy.

Want to celebrate an occasion at The Oasis? Small parties with complete catering can be arranged at the hotel. The Oasis ambiance is unmatched, especially in the evenings, when the soft lighting brings a soothing glow to the senses.

You also don’t have to worry about your vehicle’s security – Florentina Homes has ample parking space within the compound right across the apartment units.
