The Rancho Cancio Getaway Experience
SHARE THIS:
City life is not that bad, but of course, we sometimes need to get rid of the hustle-bustle of the busy streets, hectic work schedules, and traffic. Here in Cebu City, we just found a new place to spend a closer encounter with nature and to enjoy a relaxing feel-at-home scenery away from home. This is my experience with Rancho Cancio.
The Rancho Cancio Getaway Experience
Rancho Cancio is a private rest house located at the mountainous barangay of Adlaon, Cebu City. It is kilometers away from Ayala Heights in Busay and it’s quite far as it took us around an hour and a half to travel. My colleagues from work and I met at Cebu IT Park and we rented a jeepney to go there.
The travel makes you wait and wait and really wait until you will arrive at a wonderful place, a Japanese, Zen-inspired house in white and black, and dark chocolate frames, surrounded with glass windows and the green marks of nature.
The wait from the traveling is worth it.
The perfect getaway at Rancho Cancio
When you arrive there, you will be greeted by the house staff. Also, this little fellow will welcome you warmly to his humble home in the mountain view of Adlaon. I would like you to meet, Snoopy.
Not only that, the water of the infinity pool will really attract and attempt you to jump right away and touch the tip of the pool and watch over the view of the greenest mountains of Adlaon, which is 33 kilometers away from the main city Cebu.
Rancho Cancio is a private-owned, exclusive getaway place for the family and friends, an ideal place for parties, team building, and vacation destination. One of the house helpers informed us that there will be an upcoming wedding reception, which I believe is a good pick to spend time with the newly wedded couple and their families.
They serve breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. You can also avail of their buffet services or you can bring your own food with additional charges. Servings are international and fusion cuisine from Mexican, and Italian. They also offer Filipino dishes. They even serve home-made cookies like cinnamon and oatmeal for dessert which I really love.
Right after you have lunch or dinner, you can walk around the place and enjoy the view of the mountains in Adlaon so green they are like paintings in the living room. You can also feel the touch of the soft breeze to get rid of your stress (but it’s so cold at night the pool will be covered with fog that when you breathe it feels like it’s snowing. It usually happen around midnight so don’t forget to bring your jackets and long pants).
Rooms are available in family size or huge groups of 20. Since I went there for a team building, we took the room with many double-decked beds like the army bunkers.
We paid ₱650.00 per head for the accommodation. Food is around ₱250 per set (breakfast, lunch or dinner) and the management can give you their menu of many choices.
