Pamutan

In the highlands of Cebu lies Pamutan. And in the mountains of Pamutan lies these 2 beautiful homes of Dr. & Mrs. Briones. Alto Cielo and Chateau Blanc. Jackie (aka Mrs. Briones) was kind enough to set a day for me to visit her lovely resthouses.

The road to Alto Cielo.

 Beauty and serenity inside and outside. I should have scheduled an overnight stay here. 

Lunch was mongo soup in coconut milk, grilled pork, fish and salad shared with these gorgeous ladies. What did I do to deserve such treatment?

Going higher to the mountain top is Chateau Blanc. Another showcase of Jackie's eye for design. With a pool, 6 rooms with a washroom each, a kitchen, huge ground - the place is a welcome rest place after being in the city for a while.

Views from the top.

An art gallery inside.

 

With Jackie, the lovely owner of the place. 

“Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow - you haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today.” 

I am truly thankful for today.
