Farmhouses and Plantations
Do you like the idea of plucking from the garden what you want to eat for lunch? Staying in a farmhouse will let you do just this while also letting you go on tractor rides and feeding the farm animals if you want. On plantations, you can learn the difference between a pepper and a cocoa plant and start the day with a cup of the most freshly brewed coffee you would have ever tasted. Windows that look out on green fields and home-cooked meals that make you feel right at...home; it'll be a perfect break.
