Feel the creaking stairs and floors at Yap Sandiego Ancestral House, one of the oldest wood residences in the Philippines. A family of Chinese merchants built this house in the 16th century using coral stones and wood. Restored in 2003, the structure retains much of its original roof and wall construction, serving as a private museum. The interior boasts carved antique furniture, chinaware, and statues of saints. Notice the huge mirror in the living room and a life-size statue of Santo Nino de Cebu.

  This Ancestral house is so magnificent. I am so amazed, antiques are so great and well preserved. The History of the house generation is so unique. One of the must place to visit in Cebu City.

  I liked the "authentic" feel of the house/museum but I felt that I wasn't entertained properly, perhaps because I was alone when I entered the house. They only talked to the other guests who were in groups. I just took photos and listened to some of the guides talking to the other guests then I went out. I guess they didn't notice me going out lol. Anyways if you're into antiques you'll appreciate the place.
