Casa Escano Bed & Breakfast

In Cebu, a family-friendly bed & breakfast set about 3 km from the city center and roughly a 25-minute drive from Mactan–Cebu International Airport. Housed in an ancestral 1950s home, it's a quieter base for city walks and island day trips.

Designed in the 1950s by Viennese architect Ernest Korneld, the property was built for fun and entertainment and still carries that theatrical vibe. The wrap-around patio and rustic, homey rooms echo with history. There are 11 rooms: one family room (sleeps 4), 2 superior (sleeps 3), 4 deluxe (sleeps 2) and 4 standard singles. Rooms come with a shower, TV, mini-bar and slippers. The compound covers about 2,000 sqm and feels calm and private compared with bigger hotels.

Expect a small-bar vibe, an on-site restaurant and a cafe for coffee. There's a spa center and a massage room for downtime. Tour assistance and transfer services help you get around. Other practical perks include laundry, dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box. Wi-Fi is available and parking fits up to 40 vehicles.

Wi-Fi is available for staying connected. Ample parking and transfer service make arrivals and departures easy.

The on-site restaurant serves family recipes with a home-cooked feel. A bar and a cafe round out the food scene — good coffee and relaxed evening drinks on the patio.
