IN THE HEART OF NATURE: Paraizzo Garden Cafe 🌲☕

Hello dear Hivers, @pearlyshelll here—bringing you another story shaped by experience, wrapped in reflection.

This time, I want to share a place that feels close to nature and peace—Paraizzo Garden Café.

Today, June 12,2025 I want to share with you a peaceful and beautiful place I visited. It is called Paraizzo Café. This café is very quiet and full of nature. Around the café, there are many trees, green grass, and fresh air. It feels like you are far from the city and close to the mountains.

When you go there, you can see a lot of nice things. There is a duyan (swing), a swimming pool, a mini bahay kubo, and even a second-floor spot where you can sit and look at the trees. The place is clean, calm, and full of green plants. It’s a good place to rest, take pictures, or just breathe and relax.

In this blog, I will tell you what I saw, what I felt, and why I think Paraizzo Café is a nice place for people who want a simple but happy experience.

GETTING THERE TO PARAIZZO CAFE

Arriving there, we needed two rides. The first ride was normal, but the second ride was a motorcycle. At first, we were shocked because the driver said the fare was ₱60. We thought, “Why is it so expensive?” It seemed too much for just one motorcycle ride.

But when we started moving, we understood why. The road was very long. The place was really far. We passed many trees, small houses, and quiet roads. The ride took time.

Then we realized—₱60 was okay. The driver asked that price because the café was deep in nature, not easy to reach. In the end, we were thankful for the ride, because the place was worth it.

FIRST LOOK

When we arrived and got down from the motorcycle, we were really surprised.

The place was very giving. It gave peace, it gave beauty, it gave calm. The air felt fresh. The trees were all around us. It was quiet, only the sounds of nature.

The first thing we saw was the big sign: “PARAIZZO GARDEN CAFE.”

It was simple but beautiful. The sign made us feel welcome, like it was saying, “You are here. Take your rest.” We looked at each other and smiled. We didn’t speak right away. We just looked around and felt happy.

It was like a small paradise in the middle of trees. Just like the name says—Paraizzo.

Walking Around here in Paraizzo garden cafe

After we saw the sign, I started to walk around the place. I went down the stairs slowly, and I looked at everything.

I really admired the style of the stairs. They looked nice and clean. The design was simple, but beautiful. Each step felt safe. It made me want to keep walking and see more.

The grass around the stairs was all green. Very fresh, very soft-looking. I didn’t see any brown leaves. Everything looked clean and alive. That’s what made it so good to look at.

The place was really taken care of. It made me feel happy just walking and looking. It was like walking in a small garden paradise.

WHAT WE CAN SEE THERE

So first, let’s talk about what we can see there.

FIRST, THE SWING(DUYAN)

One of my favorite parts of the place is the duyan. But this duyan is not the usual hammock—it is a wooden swing under a small nipa roof.

There are three swings side by side. Each one hangs from strong black metal with chains. The roof above is made from light materials, maybe nipa or dry leaves. It gives a nice natural look.

The duyan faces the green view. When you sit and swing, you can see the trees, small houses, and the hills far away. The ground is soft with grass, and the plants around make everything look fresh and peaceful.

This spot is perfect for relaxing, thinking, or taking photos. The swing moves slowly with the wind, and you can just enjoy the moment. It’s a simple thing, but it made me feel so calm and happy.

SECOND, THE SWIMMING POOL

After the duyan, the next thing we saw was the swimming pool

It was not too big, but it looked clean and beautiful. The water was clear and blue. The pool was quiet, and there were no people swimming at that time, so it looked calm like a mirror.

There were chairs and tables around the pool. You can sit there, relax, and just enjoy the view. The place felt cool and fresh because of the water and the trees around it.

It made me think, “This is really a good place to rest.” You can swim, take pictures, or just sit and feel the peace of the place.

NEXT, THERE MINI HOUSE

Mini House / Bahay Kubo

Next, we saw a mini house—a small bahay kubo. It looked very cozy and simple. The roof was made of native materials, like nipa or dried leaves. The walls were made of wood or bamboo. It really gave a Filipino style and feeling.

The bahay kubo was standing quietly in the middle of the trees. It looked perfect for resting or just enjoying the view. Some had small chairs or tables inside. You can sit there, drink something, and talk with your friends.

It’s nice because the kubo matches the nature around it. It’s not too modern. It feels warm and peaceful—just like the old days in the province.

For me, seeing a bahay kubo in a place like this made the whole place feel more special and more “home.”

NEXT, THE PLACE WHERE WE CAN RELAX

Chill Spot on the Second Floor

There is also a nice place at the second floor of one of the stay areas. This part is simple, but very relaxing.

At the second floor, there are chairs where you can sit and chill. From there, you can see the trees all around. The view is really beautiful. You can see the green leaves, the small houses, and even the hills far away.

When you sit there, you can really feel the fresh air. The wind is soft and cool. It touches your face and makes you feel light and calm. It’s a perfect place to take a deep breath, clear your mind, and just enjoy nature.

I really loved that spot. It’s quiet, high, and peaceful. A perfect place to stay for a while and do nothing but feel the moment.

MY PICTURES IN PARAIZZO GARDEN CAFE

In the first picture, I am sitting on a bench. Around me are green plants and flowers. It was very peaceful there. I sat quietly and looked at my phone. I felt calm and happy in that place.

In the second picture, I am sitting on the green grass. The grass was very soft and clean. I liked this spot because the sun was shining and the view was nice. I covered my eyes from the sun and smiled.

In the third picture, I am walking on the stairs made of bamboo. There are plants beside me and the place is quiet. I liked the design of the stairs. It feels like I am in the forest.

In the fourth picture, I walked on a small path with green grass around. I enjoyed walking slowly and looking at the trees. I didn’t do much here, but I loved the quiet and the nature.

In the last picture, I stood under a tree. The plants were so green and fresh. I felt like I was in a garden. The sunlight came through the leaves, and it looked so nice in real life.

Going Home: A Funny and Little Crazy Moment

After we enjoyed our time at Paraizzo Café, it was time to go home. But there was one problem—we couldn’t find a motorcycle! We stood near the road, looking around, but no motorcycle was coming.

It was so funny because we started thinking, “What if we can’t go home?” HAHAHAHA! We were really laughing at ourselves. We walked around the road, just waiting and hoping one motorcycle will pass by.

Then, a man talked to us. He asked if we wanted to go with him to Liloan. He said he also visited the café. We looked at each other and said, “Yes!” right away—because we really didn’t see any other motorcycle. HUHU!

It was a bit unexpected, but also fun. We were lucky that someone kind came along. That moment made our trip even more memorable. Sometimes, the small crazy things like this make the story more special.

My Experience and All the Good Things

Even if I didn’t do much at Paraizzo Café, I still really enjoyed my time there. Sometimes, just being in a peaceful place is already enough to feel happy.

I didn’t go on the duyan (swing), because I was a little scared. I just looked at it and smiled. It was moving slowly with the wind. It looked very relaxing and soft. I liked how it was placed near the trees, with a nice view of the hills. I took pictures of it because it was very beautiful.

I also didn’t go swimming because I didn’t bring extra clothes. But I still enjoyed looking at the swimming pool. The water was very clear and blue. It looked fresh and cool. The pool area was quiet, and the view around it was green and wide. I took photos there too, because I loved how it looked. Even if I didn’t swim, just standing there already made me feel relaxed.

Most of the time, I just walked around and looked at the place. I saw the bahay kubo (mini native house), the plants, the flowers, and the chairs on the second floor. Everything was so calm and clean. I didn’t need to do anything big. I just enjoyed being there, feeling the fresh air, and looking at nature.

The place made me feel peaceful. It helped me forget stress and gave me quiet time. I took pictures of the beautiful spots so I can remember the feeling later.

So even if I didn’t swing or swim, I still had a very good experience. I was happy to be there. Sometimes, it’s okay to just sit, breathe, and enjoy the view.

Would I Recommend Paraizzo Café?

Yes, I would really recommend Paraizzo Café to everyone.

If you are feeling tired, stressed, or just want a quiet day, this is a good place to go. It is full of trees, fresh air, and peaceful views. You don’t need to do much—just sit, relax, and enjoy the moment.

Even if you don’t swing or swim, you can still enjoy the place. Just walking around, taking pictures, and breathing the cool air is already a nice experience.

It’s a good place for people who love nature. A place for families, couples, friends, or even if you go alone. It’s quiet, clean, and calm. It feels safe and simple, like a small paradise.

So yes, I really recommend this café. If you want a short escape from the busy city, go to Paraizzo Café. Take your time. Take pictures. Take a deep breath. You might find peace there, just like I did.

Thank you for reading my story, dear Hivers. Paraizzo Garden Café gave me quiet joy and sweet memories. I hope you also find your own peaceful place, even just for a day. Until my next adventure—stay kind, stay calm, and keep finding beauty in the little things. 🌿💚
