Maneri Villa - First (Ground Floor) Apartment.

Welcome to Maneri Villa - 1st (ground) Floor Apartment

Maneri Villa is a charming part of the 3-villa Hacienda Cresta Complex. The building is easily identified by its distinctive green roof. Nestled on a developing 18-acre coconut and fruit plantation, this tranquil retreat combines nature and comfort, making it an ideal escape for families and friends.


Villa Design

Maneri Villa is a single house that can be conveniently split into upstairs and downstairs independent apartments. These can be easily joined together into one spacious home through an internal staircase, making it ideal for larger groups or families seeking both privacy and connection. Additionally, there is a separate external staircase providing independent access to the second floor, offering flexibility and privacy for guests.
The First floor apartment has two bedrooms: one with a king sized bed and ensuite, and another with two double beds. An additional bathroom, a cozy living room, and a separate kitchen.

The First floor features direct access to the garden and swimming pool, offering the perfect setting for enjoying breakfast in the morning and sunsets in the evening.
