Romantic travel films always seem extra romantic when they’re shot in Europe or the Mediterranean. Think When in Rome (2010), Letters to Juliet (2010), and Mamma Mia! (2008).
If you want to feel like you’re in a similar movie without the heavy costs of traveling far, go to La Casa Di Beatrice in Panglao, Bohol. With Mediterranean-inspired aesthetics, it will certainly make you feel like a main character with a blossoming romance arc.

La Casa Di Beatrice nails the Mediterranean vibe down to the small details.
From outside, you’ll see light yellow walls with rough, concrete finish and red roofs that are characteristic of Southern European homes. It’s complete with a balcony and flowering plants climbing its archways that give it a romantic feel.

The bed and breakfast has a 22-meter outdoor pool with a view of the Mediterranean-themed property. Kids can also take a dip in the shallow part of the pool.
If you’re not in the mood for a swim, you can stay at the poolside, read a book, and admire the BnB’s exterior from one of the sun loungers.
