Our favourite places to stay on this sleepy Cebu island.
Bringing the outdoors in is an architectural concept that’s been all the rage — and seemingly, it’s not going anywhere soon. But while having a home built of glass sounds dreamy, the reality is a glasshouse isn’t always the most practical permanent domain. Aside from the questions of security and privacy, there is also the fact that glass walls aggravate heat; thus, your glass house must stand in a strategic location in the Philippines to prevent you from sweltering all summer long.
All this said, many of us still dream of living in a glasshouse — even for just a while. The solution? Booking these incredible glasshouses in the Philippines on Airbnb. Aside from standing in idyllic locations, these homes offer endless amenities, picturesque views, and homey interiors.
