Villa Filomena Natural Spring Resort : FAQ
January 09, 2017
Villa Filomena Natural Spring resort is a must-visit place in Indang Cavite. Budget friendly, cool and relaxing ambiance, perfect for a solo, couple, friends or family getaway.
My office mates and I went here last Friday, January 6th, and we enjoyed it a lot. We were 7 in the group (6 adults and 1 kid). It was actually an unplanned travel, thankfully it was successful and we had a lot of fun. After all, mas natutuloy naman talaga pag biglaang group lakad :) .
Location
Villa Filomena Natural Spring resort is a public resort located in Purok II, Kaytambong, Indang Cavite, 57 kilometers away from Manila, only an hour drive (according to their website ) if you have a car and if you're lucky enough at walang traffic jam.
How to go to Villa Filomena
For the budget travelers (or yung mga walang car, like us, haha) you can commute from Manila and travel time may take up to 3-4 hours depending on the traffic situation.
1. Take a Jasper Jean bus from EDSA-Shaw bound to Dasmarinas Cavite. Alight at Waltermart or Palapala (mas malapit daw to as per kuyang kondoktor) in Dasma.

Yes but you are required to rent at least 1 cottage. There is not much space to set up your tent though as most of the cottages are set up on a hill-like area.
Nope, i don't think that there's a dress code in the pool. Just wear any swimming outfit that you're comfortable with (if bet mo mag maong while swimming by all means, GO!).
