Villa Sylvia Resort in Nagcarlan » Refreshing Place to Stay on Your Laguna Side Trip
Recently, I got a chance to visit the old town of Nagcarlan in Laguna to attend a two-day HAKAMS basic mountaineering training. We stayed at Villa Sylvia Resort for a night for the activities and I must say the resort is really nice. It's so serene and relaxing.
I’m not actually a fan of man-made resorts. I prefer beaches
or natural rivers but sometimes, a nearby affordable resort is all we need when
it comes to a quick weekend getaway.
So here I want to share some information about Villa Sylvia Resort and also some photos from my mobile phone - just in case you are looking for an affordable place to stay in Nagcarlan.
Villa Sylvia Resort - A mountain resort
Laguna is blessed with mountains and natural resources, thus ecotourism is very popular and thriving on this part of the Philippines. Its location, being at close distance to Metro Manila makes it an ideal leisure destination to escape the congested metropolis for a while.
Laguna is widely known as the resort capital of Luzon due to its hot spring pools. I remember during my college years, we used to go to Pansol to relax after those very stressful exams.
In contrast to this famous hot springs,
there are also cold spring resorts in the towns of Majayjay, Nagcarlan, and
Liliw. These cold springs is from the chilly and cold
water coming from Mount Banahaw. If you are planning to visit Nagcarlan, you might want to try Villa Sylvia Resort.

Being one of the pioneer resorts in Laguna, Villa Sylvia Resort is able to maintain its 4 hectares surroundings making it still perfect for nature and countryside trippers. Part of the improvements are facilities for families, company and group outings.
 |
| Small Catholic chapel at the overlooking the whole resort |
The resort also added a touch of spirituality by adding a nice chapel at the topmost area of the resort. I find it unusual, to have a church inside a resort, but it perfectly fits the serene surroundings. Also, the chapel makes Villa Sylvia a perfect venue for baptismal, wedding and other catholic family events.
