It's been already more than 6 months since our country is put on different levels of community quarantine. Most of us stayed at home as best advised by our government and recommended by the health specialists. Others needed to go out for work and for necessities. We don't forget our frontliners who continuously fight for us to live well and save lives from COVID-19.
That's why we need a break. We need some air to breathe. We need to see a new sight for hope.
So here, I present to you 10 resorts and BnBs (Bed and Breakfast) where you can relax and escape away from the stress.
Here's my list of places we deserve to go to after all these quarantines we had:

- Glamping Etc. - Cavinti, Laguna
- Narra Hill - Laurel, Batangas
- Tudor in the Pines - Baguio, Benguet
- Antipolo Star Resort - Antipolo, Rizal

- Casa Angelina - Cabagan, Zambales
- Villa Elisha - Antipolo, Rizal

1. Casa Amara
What started out as a vacation house in Batangas grew into a resort-type of accommodation when the owners added rooms and decided to rent out the rooms to the early guests. This mansion-like house is now known as Casa Amara. The owners maintain that it is more of a private house with rooms for rent than a resort.
Casa Amara is best known for having a Santorini-vibe where all you can see everything in white and complemented with blue. It is also a favorite spot for prenups and small weddings because of its garden ambiance above a ridge. The view of Tayabas Bay is perfect from their infinity pool. With these, you can enjoy and relax the view and the full experience at the resort.
