Blog #103: The Astounding Beauty of Lantaw De Samboan

Hey Hivers!

Yesterday was my 5th day in Samboan. In the morning as I had my breakfast, my Landlady told me that if I would like to watch the overlooking-view in Samboan I should visit Lantaw De Samboan. She mentioned that if I am a nature-lover I would truly appreciate the view.

After running an errand in the morning, I informed the Landlady's daughter that I will be going to Lantaw De Samboan. She let their driver convey me to Lantaw by motorcycle.

Lantaw De Samboan is located in Bulangsuran, Samboan, Cebu. It takes 15-minute drive from the main town of Samboan. The road going there is paved however, there is an unpaved portion meters away before you will reach the spot. The road is not flat and straight so expect a hilly and curvy road from the main town to Lantaw.

As we arrived, a woman (around 50's of age) greeted us and informed us that she will be collecting Php20.00/head as our entrance fee.

I asked her if she owns the property. She told me that it is a conjugal property. Her husband is a retired Philippine Air Force.

After few minutes, she invited us to see their dragon fruits they planted in their backyard. Unfortunately, this time is not a dragon fruit season but she was excited as she showed me the only dragon fruit plant bears a piece of fruit.

Have you seen the fruit? It is just too small.

While I was left alone, I gazed at the mountains and imagined of the glorious feeling I may feel when I wake up in the morning with this majestic scenery. This is the kind of place I wanted to live at the age of 60.

After strolling around the garden, I went to the area where rooms are located. I asked the owner's permission if I could see and check inside the room. She asked an apology as she can't allow me this time due to covid issue.

I just took a photo from outside so you can also see the exterior design of their rooms.

While watching the exterior design of the rooms, I'd noticed that the room has an attic. The owner said that the attic can accomodate 2 persons.

If you would like to visit and witness the stunning beauty of Lantaw De Samboan, you may check their FB Page.

If you wish to stay overnight, you can bring foods and drinks because they don't have a restaurant yet.

This is the dining area where you can enjoy your foods with a stunning scenery around.

This is the viewing deck where guests could truly enjoy the picturesque view of Lantaw De Samboan.

There were only few guests yesterday and I was so grateful because I was able to enjoy the view and the serenity of the place.

Yesterday, my eyes was full of stunning views and my mind was full of another great memories.

Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!
