Villa Escudero is located in Quezon Province, Philippines (two to three hours drive south of Manila).
This area was founded in 1872 by Don Placido Escudero and his wife Doña Claudia Marasigan as a sugar cane plantation (800 hectares). In early 1900s the crop was converted to sugar cane by their son Don Arsenio Escudero (pioneering agriculture industrialist). He built the country’s first working hydroelectric plant (Labasin Dam) to supply his desiccated coconut factory and the Escudero Plantation house. In 2008, more than half of the estate (415 hectares), was converted into an exclusive residential development called Hacienda Escudero.
"Lunch is served on bamboo dining tables set in a few inches of
crystalline running water from the falls. The experience of dining on
delicious local dishes with the sparkling waterfalls as a backdrop with
clear spring water running over your feet is a truly singular and
memorable experience only Villa Escudero can offer" Stated on their official web.
