The Barrettos’ Iconic Rest House is Now on Airbnb
To celebrate the advent of
this year’s Christmas festivities, the Barretto family has announced that they
will become Airbnb Hosts and list their luxurious family villa in Calumpit,
Bulacan on Airbnb.
Entertainment veteran
Marjorie Barretto and famous actress-model Julia Barretto will be opening the doors of the River
Garden Rest House on Airbnb for three consecutive weekends — with the first
stay on 15 October hosted in-person by the renowned mother-daughter duo, who
will share their favourite spots around the villa and attractions nearby.
The rest house will be available for a one-night stay on three
exclusive dates: October 15, October 22,
and October 29. Priced at Php25,000
per night excluding additional fees, the rest house can accommodate up to a
maximum of 16 pax.
Starting today, interested guests can make a request to book at
www.airbnb.com/h/rivergardenresthouse, along with a message introducing
themselves and
detailing their request including their travel companions and why they are
interested to stay. Guests must have a verified Airbnb profile, a
history of positive reviews, and be 18+ to request to book.
“The River Garden Rest House is extremely dear to
our family and holds so many precious memories for us. I am incredibly happy to
now share this special space with the world through Airbnb, and for more guests
throughout the Philippines and overseas to enjoy our Filipino hospitality and
rejuvenating probinsya life. I look
forward to many more families and friends creating their own meaningful moments
here and enjoying the rest house,” shares Marjorie.
Located an hour's drive out from Metro Manila,
the Barrettos’ expansive River Garden Rest House offers Filipinos an idyllic
opportunity to reconnect with loved ones amidst nature. The villa offers four
spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a large private pool, an outdoor
dining area and lounge, a fully-equipped open kitchen with grill, and a gazebo
boasting scenic views of the Angat River. Guests may also be able to purchase
the fresh catch of the day for dinner from the fishermen nearby.
Purchased by Marjorie over 20 years ago, the
villa has since been meticulously restored and furnished by the matriarch to
reflect a blend of old-world charm and modern Filipino design. Local materials
including pawid roofs, bamboo and
capiz shell windows feature prominently. Each room also features a unique
collection of precious antiques, furniture, accessories, and even heritage
paintings passed down from Marjorie’s mother.
“One of my favourite things to do is spend a
quiet afternoon in the shade of the gazebo, watching the river waters glisten
under the sun. It’s always heartwarming seeing our family spend the day in
different corners of the house, either cooped up with a book, engrossed in
conversation, or dipping in the pool. I am thrilled to be supporting my mom in
sharing this space with more families, and we hope our guests will enjoy and
care for this space as much as we do,” adds Julia.
