How does it fit a villa stay?
The weekend window of 2:00 to 4:00 PM sits right before the villas' 3:00 PM check-in, so plan it on the way home instead: check out by 12:00 NN, have lunch, and reach Antipolo for the afternoon tour. A group of 10 or more from one villa can book a weekday visit. Nearby, Pintô Art Museum and the Antipolo Cathedral are a few minutes away; for the full list of sights, see Rizal tourist spots.
Celebrating Christmas with a big group? Each villa sleeps 20 as standard, up to 25 in Zachary or Zuriel and 30 in Zoie with approval. Compare the villas or check December dates.
