Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar
Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar is a hotel property in Bagac comprising over 25 restored houses brought from different regions of the Philippines. The buildings display traditional Philippine architecture with wood and stone details, balconies, and pitched roofs, arranged along cobblestone streets that resemble a historic village layout.
The resort was founded in 2003 to preserve houses from the Spanish colonial period that would otherwise have been demolished or lost. The founder systematically collected and relocated these structures to document and safeguard the architectural history of the Philippines for future generations.
The names of the houses often reflect their original owners or the regions they came from. Visitors can observe how people arranged their daily life through the layout of rooms and the objects they kept inside.
The resort is open daily year-round with guides available to explain the history of each house in simple terms. Visitors can walk freely throughout the grounds, take photographs, participate in activities such as boat rides and water sports, or dine at restaurants serving traditional Philippine food.
Some of the houses here were actually dismantled stone by stone and beam by beam from their original locations and then faithfully reconstructed on this site. This painstaking reconstruction process means that many of these structures are genuine examples from the 19th and early 20th centuries, not replicas.
