Marked as Important Cultural Property by the National Museum of the Philippines, Camiña Balay nga Bato means ‘house by the river’. Built between 1860 and 1865 in a style we call ‘arquitectura mestiza’, the house is a beautiful example of indigenous Filipino building merged with colonial Spanish influences. The 4th-generation owners spent 10 years renovating Camiña Balay nga Bato into the treasure you see today.
