Stay in a preserved Ilocano village

Accommodation options are limited up near the North-Western tip of Luzon, but the Sitio Remedios in Currimao is a truly exceptional find, and a memorable stopover between Vigan and Laoag City. Probably the only private village you are likely to ever stay in, the Sitios Remedios is a recreation of a typical 50s Ilocano settlement – complete with colonial design and furnishings, and a Spanish-style courtyard layout. The hotel faces the calm West Philippine sea should you wish to go for a dip or stroll on the beach, and there is also a swimming pool to cool off in. The property itself is extremely interesting to walk around - there are numerous gardens, courtyards, and even a chapel on site.
