Nestled in the quiet town of Luna, Apayao, Casa Lacuesta offers a serene retreat for travelers looking to explore this off-the-beaten-path destination. Conveniently situated behind the Apayao Provincial Capitol, the accommodation is surrounded by lush greenery, rice paddies, and a peaceful rural landscape. The area exudes a tranquil charm, making it an ideal base for those looking to unwind while still being close to local attractions like Lussok Cave, known for its stunning rock formations and underground river tours.

Rooms and Facilities

Casa Lacuesta features an 11-room setup designed for comfort and simplicity. Each room is well-maintained, offering essential amenities such as comfortable bedding, air conditioning, and a clean, cozy atmosphere. There are dorm rooms for families and groups, as well as executive rooms for solo travelers and couples. I stayed in an executive room, which was aptly spaced to fit a large bed, a table and chair, and a clothes rack. There was still enough room for my luggage spread out on the floor.

Guests can enjoy unlimited Cordilleran coffee, adding a warm and homey touch to their stay. The common areas are inviting, providing airy spaces to relax and soak in the peaceful environment.

The fourth floor is my favorite area of Casa Lacuesta. It’s an open-air dining space with a panoramic view of the surrounding fields and trees. I would often bring my meals and coffee up here and spend time working. Their fast WiFi made it easy to get some remote work done efficiently, whether it was catching up on emails, writing travel notes, or editing photos from my adventures in Apayao.

Final Thoughts

As I checked out of this charming bed and breakfast, I made sure to bring some souvenirs and gifts home. I picked up some local Apayao coffee and turmeric as souvenirs. It's convenient to find some local products like Isneg handicrafts, local weaving, and vinegars here to buy.
