Description from owner

Description

Welcome to your home away from home!

Escape from it all and surround yourself with nature in Bohol’s lush island in your own private and secure seafront villa. You can spend your days relaxing at the fully equipped, spacious, and comfortable house. Or head home after your daytime adventures in Bohol and Panglao to sit on the firefly deck peeking over the forest and enjoy panoramic views of sunsets, the stars and with a bit of luck our resident fireflies.

No matter how you choose to spend your days, this beautiful villa has everything you need for an unforgettable vacation

Firefly Villa is a modern luxurious house that blends spaciousness with a homey, cozy vibe. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms across three tiers, there is ample room for guests to have their own spaces. And everyone can gather together for food, drinks, and chats in the fully equipped kitchen, garden patio, and ocean-facing deck.

Great for groups of friends and family members; the house is kid-friendly with plenty of spaces for them to play. We also welcome couples and solo travelers looking to have the place all to themselves!

Here are some quotes from guests who have just stayed at Firefly Villa:

“An ideal place to restore, rejuvenate that is peaceful and serene.”

“It’s like sleeping at a 5-star hotel with the ease and comfort of being at home.”

“The kitchen is packed with everything you would have at home.”

“The garden is beautiful, and the views were breathtaking, especially at sunset.”

In addition to all this, you can rest comfortably knowing that the house was built with a slew of eco-friendly features. We believe in luxury living that doesn’t cost the planet.

During your stay at the villa, you have access to a personal coordinator who can arrange all your food, transportation, tour, and excursion needs. (More info on this in the “Interactions with Guests” section below.)

Additional space details: three bedrooms include air conditioning and en suite bathrooms; a fourth large multifunction room can be converted into an open plan bedroom with overhead fan and full view of the ocean; house features two outdoor decks; hot water throughout; internet access; fully equipped kitchen; library; lush gardens; ocean-facing viewing deck.

Thank you for considering The Firefly Villa for your upcoming vacation. We look forward to welcoming you to your home away from home, where we celebrate the end of each day with a stunning sunset.

Guest access

During your stay, you have access to the entire compound: house, decks & gardens. The Firefly Villa caretaker resides directly outside the gated entrance to the property and ensures your privacy and safety.

The house is nestled 200 meters away from Bohol’s main highway; roughly a 5-minute walk to catch a local taxi to reach nearby markets and restaurants. Yet far enough away that you don’t hear highway traffic at the house. This same highway connects you to Bohol’s unique tourist activities: Chocolate Hills (which are only brown in summer), Tarsier Sanctuary, Loboc River Cruise, The Churches, the White Sand beaches of Panglao and dolphins of Pamilacan island.

The property is 22 kilometers north of the capital city Tagbilaran, which is a roughly 30-minute commute. If you are arriving and departing from the Bohol Panglao International Airport, then it is a roughly one-hour commute.

We have a two-car garage for those traveling with their own cars. And we can help arrange rental cars, vans and drivers, and taxis during your stay. All secured at reasonable, local rates.

Getting around

We will help support your transport needs while staying with us. You can either hop on a local trisikal (bike and sidecar) or we can arrange a taxi for you. Public transport passes very regularly within a 3 minute walk of the house from early morning to late evening.

Interaction with guest

During your stay at the villa, you have access to a personal coordinator who can arrange all your food, transportation, tour, and excursion needs. Arlene is our day-to-day manager who ensures that everything is in order and that you have a great stay at the villa. You can call on Arlene to arrange taxis or vans, book day tours in Bohol or Panglao, arrange catering at the house, coordinate cleaning and washing services (at a small, extra cost), answer questions, and solve problems. And you can count on her to respond quickly. Our goal is to worry about the details and take care of you and your family so you can relax and enjoy Bohol’s sights, sounds, and tastes.
