Pintoresco means "picturesque" in Spanish. We'd like to think that our little patch of green captures that very essence of the word.

Finding this land was serendipitous, it was... is a gift. Everyone should have their own little patch of green, in any size or form, that calms their spirit and makes their hearts smile. Our family and friends revel in the convivial spirit of Pintoresco. This is what we've always envisioned our little patch of green to be. It is with a quiet joy to know that you are here now.. to share and enjoy our little patch of green.

The ground floor unit (Mortagne au Perche) has a dormitory with 6 beds (4 double deck beds, a single bed, and a queen sized bed) , a common bathroom with 2 showers and 2 toilets, and a separate outdoor dining area. It sleeps 7. Maximum occupancy is 9 (spare mattresses are available).
Mortagne doesn't come with a kitchen or utensils. It was designed to be used in conjunction with Villaines. Attached to this building is a 2 professional Table Tennis Gym (Gymnase de droits de l'homme) with Taraflex flooring and dozens of overhead lamps. TT rackets are now available (shake hands short pips and regular rubber). All bathrooms have running hot water.
Every room is equipped with overhead fans and wooden shutters that lets the night wind in. We find the sounds of the night - the crickets, the howling wind (habagat Dec-March), the wind chimes, far more conducive to sleep than air conditioning.
(We seriously considered adding air-conditioning, based on requests from call-in clients, but we felt that even in the hottest days in April/May, a/c was not needed.)
Needless to say, if you want to bring your videoke machine, you should look to stay elsewhere. Airplay is available in Villaines, and you will be able to stream audio from your iphones/ipads/macs onto overhead speakers.
There are excellent restaurants close by -
  • Antonio's (4 mins)
  • Teresito's (5 mins)
  • Marcia's Garden (6 mins)
  • Lime and Basil (6 mins)
  • Breakfast at Antonio's (9 mins)
  • The Tiger Alley Farm & Garden Cafe (3 mins)

An excellent (but relatively unknown) restaurant is
  • il Gato Nero (at the entrance of Royal Tagaytay Estates - 15 mins).
  • Sonia's Garden is 20 mins away.

The rest of the Tagaytay Ridge Restaurants are 15-20 minutes away.
Pintoresco is built on what used to be a coffee plantation. If you are lucky, you may be able to spot a civet. If you would like to try civet coffee, let us know and we will try to get some for you.
