C Boutique Hotel, Baguio City

C Boutique is located in the quiet area past Wright Park and Mansion. It is a 10 minute walk to Mines View Park and Good Shepherd. Parking is good for 5-6 cars and the rest will park along the street.



 We booked via Agoda and our check in was quick. The staff are friendly. Our room is located on the second floor. There's a nice living room along the corridor. Ours is a corner room. Each room has a small terrace.

There's no elevator and it can be challenging for senior citizens or persons with disability. Get room at the first floor should you have senior citizen or PWD with you.


Bed is great, comfortable; the linens and pillows are fresh and very clean. Toilet and bath are clean as well. Toiletries are provided. Water pressure in the shower is strong.



There is no aircon only ceiling fan. This is ok during cold months as you can open the windows but I wonder how it is during summer without the aircon. Room is well lit. There's mini ref, coffee maker, cable tv, large cabinet with mirror.

Dining area is cozy and spacious with nice interior decoration.



Dishes are good for 2 persons. Their BBQ ribs is delicious but quite tough though. We mentioned this to the staff and when dinner came, we got BBQ again but this time it was now tender. Breakfast is filling and tasty.









 Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay in C Boutique.


Direction: Drive past Mansion and Wright Park, turn left on the street beside Sierra Pines Hotel.

Address: No. 5 Arellano cor. Moran, Barangay Gibraltar, Baguio, 2600 Benguet, Philippines

Strawberry Farm Experience

Located less than 10kms away from Baguio City in the district of La Trinidad, the Benguet State University Strawberry farm has become a major tourist attraction. Picking strawberry is indeed a fun and memorable activity. The picking season is from November to May. Though the farm has other produce, strawberry is the main attraction.









There is a spacious parking space and there are several stalls selling fresh produce, bottled vinegar and the typical souvenir items of Baguio.

Strawberries are delicate and must be carefully picked and the experience of picking them by yourselves would be memorable.That's why they cost double when picked.

One can opt to pick strawberries with the help of a guide or not to pick and  just go inside the farm and marvel at the plantation and take photos. You can buy strawberries later which are freshly picked at the stalls near the main entrance to the farm.

Inside the farm , you can also see vegetables - broccoli, romaine lettuce, chayote, cherry tomatoes, baguio beans- in their growing stage. The field is sub divided into different farm owners and ownership is marked and separated by bamboos and chicken wires.

You can allot 1 hour or less for this visit. Visit early in the morning to avoid the crowd. Try the strawberry vinegar for a change.
