Located 28 kilometers from Iloilo City, Casa Fiammetta is a 5-hectare inland resort. The resort was inspired with Adirondack architecture as seen in its multi-purpose hall, the Tamasak Hall. Tamasak, according to native lore, was the strongest, fastest and most handsome white horse, and believed to be the reason how Barotac Nuevo became a town of its own.

Casa Fiammetta is a ranch resort. It offers special equitation training that is accredited by the Philippine Equestrian Federation. Whether youre a skilled horseman, an amateur horseback rider, or just plain curious, Casa Fiammetta will be there to assist you in all your training needs. For visitors learning equitation, the resort offers several modules, from basic to advanced courses. The resort features a collection of horses, from local ponies to prized Arabian stallions. Local ponies, with groom assistance, are at P200.00 per hour, while thoroughbreds are at P300.00.

Casa Fiammetta is also an event resort. It has air-conditioned log cabins and halls suitable for parties, seminars and retreats.

Aside from horseback riding, Casa Fiammetta also hosts a plethora of outdoor activities like kayaking along the Jalaud River, billiards, swimming, camping, playing football or if you are a bird-lover then bring your binoculars and watch wild ducks, migratory herons, and the occasional “tamsi” or hummingbird along sugarcane and bamboo covered river fringes.
