It’s worth to visit San Rafael Farm as you will be fascinated by its marvelously designed landscape. At one glance, one might think, it is a natural landscape but as you stroll around the place, you will discover it is purely man-made and you will admire the one who conceptualized its amazing landscaping. Located in Brgy. Pagsulhugon of Babatngon, Leyte which is a 25-minute drive from downtown Tacloban, this place is perfect for meditation or even for social functions like wedding, baptism and birthday occasions.

We arrived an hour before noon, so we still had enough time to take a stroll before having our lunch at the restaurant. It was actually my second time at Rafael’s Farm, but it never fails to impress. For someone who lives in a big city with skyscrapers and busy streets for almost 5 years, Rafael’s Farm is a sanctuary! It has a very relaxing and calm atmosphere. It is where I can sit back, relax and just admire nature’s beauty.

Since we reserved a table and ordered our meals the moment we arrived, our lunch was ready when went back to the restaurant. The restaurant at Rafael’s Farm has a warm ambiance. It looks very inviting from afar. There’s a pond full of water lilies with a wooden pathway to the entrance. It has a nipa roof, antique doors, rattan chairs, draped curtains, charming decors and large clay pots. The restaurant is native and rustic, just like a typical Filipino countryside home.

After having a sumptuous lunch, Ed and I had a boat ride in the man-made lake. Hubby did all the paddling. I tried to help, but I was more of a burden! Hahah! 🙂 Ducks even joined us in the lake. It was like a scene from “The Notebook” movie; except that we only had five ducks instead of more than a hundred white swans! Oh yeah, I’m such a hopeless romantic.
