MANILA, Philippines — Celebrities like to get away from the often restrictive hours they get at work, whether for shooting a new project or promoting a brand.
As such, they purchase vacation houses or properties both within the country and abroad, where they can get some peace and serenity for the time being.
But whenever they do have work to do, these properties have no guests to house which could be a shame. Luckily, some celebrities opted to turn these places into Airbnbs so that others can get to relax the way they do.
The holiday season is a perfect time to rent an Airbnb with friends or family, so why not try one owned by a celebrity? Here are some celebrity properties you could book on Airbnb:
Marjorie Barreto's River Garden Rest House
Perhaps the most familiar local celebrity Airbnb is this villa in Calumpit, Bulacan owned by the Barretto family that can house up to 16 guests.
It officially welcomed guests last October, with Marjorie and her daughter Julia personally touring the rest house's guests during its first three weekends on Airbnb.
After buying it two decades ago, Marjorie restored the villa with old world charm and a modern Filipino vibe as a nature-inspired getaway with pawid roofs, bamboo, and capiz shell windows.

Making it more personal are precious antiques, furniture, accessories and heritage paintings Marjorie inherited from her mom.
With four big bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, lounge, a large private pool, an outdoor dining area, a fully-equipped open kitchen with grill, and a gazebo with scenic views of the Angat River, a stay in the property is at P25,000 per night.
