Ocular Tour in Sefriya Batangas + Super Affordable Buffet in CJR Kainan sa Kubo in Lipa City

Sefriya Farm and Orchard. Now a favorite for both occasions and staycations, the property replicates the aura of Southern France and Versailles in the municipality of Alitagtag, Batangas. What may be most emblematic of Sefriya is its sprawling French garden Liwasan, which its owners dub “an ode to the Versailles Garden.” The intricate pathways in its 1,215 square meters all lead to the garden’s grand tiered fountain, which is lit up beautifully once the sun sets.

Taking a page from the southeastern side of France, the Hiraya gardens connect to the Provence-esque accommodations in its homely two-story building. Surrounded by decades-old mango trees and bathing birds in nearby fountains, the foyer makes for a quaint rendezvous spot with its high ceilings and hand-painted walls.
