Paradores del Castillo

We visited their restaurant without a reservation and were fortunate to get a table. The food is tasty; while they specialize in Italian cuisine, we chose the popular Filipino favorite platter.

Large family meal ( 12). Good welcome and efficient friendly service. Food came quickly and was hot! |Yes I know I am in Philippines and other dishes ordered were all local but I went for a thin pizza and it was excellent- exceeded my expectations. |The Filipino food all disappeared so we can take that as a very good sign. |All in all very good food and nice setting too. Would return .

The place truly captures the essence of the town of Taal, making you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. The view from the balcony perfectly showcases the beauty of the town, adding to the nostalgic experience. The service was excellent as well, with the staff accommodating our requests promptly and efficiently.

A Charming Stay at Paradores Del Castillo – A Step Back in Time! Our group of 11 had the pleasure of staying at Paradores Del Castillo from February 7-9, 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hotel perfectly blends history and comfort, with each room beautifully furnished in 1800s style, adding to its charm and authenticity. One of the highlights of our stay was the warm and attentive staff, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home. Another standout was the delicious food at Cucina de Jardin—every meal was a treat, showcasing fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a unique historical experience, Paradores Del Castillo is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Located at the heart of Taal Municipality. This place has an amazing view, great food, and fresh air. Been here before. But since we liked it very much, we brought other guests along with us and came back. Food is really great!!! Customer service is really good. The staff go above and beyond to make their guests comfortable and have a remarkable experience.

My friends and I decided to book a hotel in Batangas as a last minute getaway and Paradores del Castillo is one of the few affordable choices left. We honestly didn’t expect it to be a remarkable hotel but it proved us wrong. It has exceeded our expectations! Affordable stay and yet, we experienced a top notch service. From the very accommodating and welcoming staff, good food, beautiful view of the pool and garden, and peaceful area. Everything that you need if you wish to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. The place was truly like little Vigan, vintage beauty with a touch of modern which is the pool area. They also have their own restaurant (Cucina De Jardin) that offers quality food and amazing service. Very recommendable! It was a memorable stay so we’re definitely going back! 🥰

Lovely old building with delightfully renovated rooms and a shady garden. Taal is a pretty place to wander around, with some nice restaurants. We were unable to visit the eponymous volcano at the time of visit, so do check its activity beforehand.

The place is pleasant, quaint and has lovely well preserved heritage structures. Staff was accomodating and well mannered. Food in their restaurants are at par with Manila standards. Although our friends ,who stayed in the annex bldg, did not get to sleep because of noise from basketball court which had very late till early morning games.

My family is from Balisong, but moved to the US decades ago. We came to this place to visit family and stayed at this beautiful hotel. Authentic Filipino heritage is well preserved here from the decorations to the architecture. The rooms are charming and all have air conditioning. The views from our rooms were immaculate. Breakfast buffet with traditional Filipino food was delicious and the service was warm and inviting. The surrounding streets had rows of heritage homes turned into museums. And a short walk to the historic Taal Cathedral built in the 1500s. Visiting this place felt like a stepping into a Time Capsule. Our stay was magical. Highly recommend.
