Yes, you were in the Cuarto de las Hijas, if I'm not mistaken. We stayed in the Cuarto de los Hilos, big enough for 4 adults with 1 king Size bed and two adult singles. It had private access to the veranda, which was also the pathway to the CR, outside the room! That was cool, though. It gave me a feeling of having my own private villa.
If the atmosphere wasn't enough, the service given by Tony and his wife Maricris took it over the top. When given our choice of either a Continental Style breakfast (toast, marmalade, butter, coffee, tea, juice, eggs, bacon) or Filipino Style (rice, daing, toast, marmalade, eggs, longanisa, coffee, tea, juice) we decided it best to dive right in and order both, every day. So every morning I had a cup (or two) of tea, fresh calamansi juice, eggs, rice, bacon, longanisa, marmalade and buttered toast and every morning it was perfectly prepared and delivered to our table in style.
If you'd care to see the sights but aren't sure of where they are, or where to park? Tony can arrange for a Calesa to pick you up at the Villa and take you to see all that Vigan has to offer. Gerome, our Calesa driver, was very polite, well-mannered, knowledgeable and had a well-kept Calesa. He knew the fastest way to get everywhere, what areas to avoid and seemed to be well-liked by all those we came in contact with. We tied him up all day, having him wait while we toured each house or area of interest, yet paid only 1500Php for his service. Well, 1800Php. I gave him 300Php extra as a tip for being patient with us. It's how I roll.
