| Jandy at Casa Punzalan |
Casa Punzalan, Taal's first
pensionnne, is the ancestral home of the prominent Punzalan family. It was
leased by Mr. Jesus Samala Punzalan, Jr. and Capt. Nieto Punzalan, at no cost,
to the Taal Heritage Foundation.
The inn has 7 rooms, all named after
owners (Graciano and Juliana) and their children; 5 of them fan-cooled (PhP600)
and 2 airconditioned (PhP1,00-1,200), all accessed by a grand staircase.
It also has common baths (mens and ladies), a living room (sala), a
coffee shop and a gift shop. We opted to stay at the corner and well
ventilated Graciano Room with its excellent view of the basilica and park from
its capiz windows.
