A family business owned by Pipo Fernandez and his wife Nayori Fernandez, Alfonso Hotel is one of the first few hotels ever established in the area. It started as a bed and breakfast place before it transitioned into a hotel to cater to the growing number of tourists in Tagaytay.

Being a free thinker, Pipo was inspired by the strong sense of community that he eventually decided to stay in Alfonso where he built his business—a hotel that serves as an outlet to meet people from different walks of life and make connections with them.
Its modest look makes it nonintimidating for guests to relax and relish the cool Tagaytay breeze away from the busy and congested streets of Metro Manila.
They currently have 15 Deluxe rooms (Php 2,785) and more that are simple, clean, and spacious.
Deluxe King
Their rooms will remind you of simple country living as each room is equipped with rattan and bamboo bed frames, complimented by wooden elements. And since Tagaytay’s cool breeze is enough to provide you fresh air, there is really no need to open the air condition units just to be refreshed and comfortable.
Deluxe Twin
Alfonso Hotel also boasts its own in-house restaurant called Il Gallo Nero that specializes in Northern Italian or Tuscan cuisine.
Here, you can savor their sumptuous Italian fares particularly the pizza choices like Pizza Salsiccia and Pizza with Anchovy.
