Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar: A Genesis Heritage Resort

In a virtual time warp, authentic 19th century Principalia Mansions and original Bahay na Bato (Stone Houses), stand resplendent around a cobblestone plaza and streets paying tribute to the magnificent craftsmanship of our forefathers.
These structures carefully and painstakingly taken down from different parts of the country and rebuilt, “brick by brick”, “plank by plank”, are replete with memories with colorful stories.
Walking along the cobblestone streets or riding one of the caruajes (horse- drawn carriages), one has to constantly remind one’s self that he is in the present somehow trapped in the past; not just peeking through a looking glass but walking, touching, living amongst history’s silent witnesses.
The structures, at least 100 years old, are restored to its former grandeur creating a museum of Filipino architecture.
Located in Bagac, Bataan, significant in Philippine history for the World War II Death March, this “village” of heritage houses is designed to replicate Hispanic town settlements.
At Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, the legacy of our forefathers and the beautiful Filipino traditions live on.
It is a step back into a majestic past, reliving the age- old traditions and practices distinct to our culture, without leaving the luxury and comforts of the modern world.
At the Paseo de la Escolta, there are currently 17 gues rooms with airconditioning, a modern bath with hot and cold showers, a 21” flat screen TV and DVD player; or you may choose to stay in any of the 18th and 19th century guest houses.
Each villa has airconditioned rooms, hot and cold showers, living areas, and dining facilities, affords each guest the ultimate experience of living out history without leaving the present.
