There’s nothing quite like the City of Tagaytay.
Particularly for those living in the capital region, this popular destination in the south has long been a staple stomping ground for those wanting—or needing—a quick break after a grueling, exhausting workweek.
Just an hour and a half drive from the metro allows you to step in an almost different realm—a tinge of the rustic, the refreshing scent of towering pine trees swaying gently amid the crisp, cool air, and sumptuous local dishes for days you want to simply indulge.
In fact, a weekend getaway in Tagaytay, for some, is often enough to calm their frazzled nerves. Allowing one to be closer to nature, Tagaytay’s stunning views, lush open spaces and fresh air can already do wonders to one’s health and mood as many would attest. Inquirer columnist and medical expert Dr. Rafael Castillo even confirms that “a nature-rich setting is more conducive to better mental, emotional and physical health. (It is) good for stress alleviation too.”
So really, it comes as no surprise that many continue to be captivated by the charm of Tagaytay—especially in today’s pandemic era, in which social distancing, having more open spaces, and caring for one’s physical and mental health are fast becoming top priorities. More than ever, places like Tagaytay have become more valuable for those seeking to take a breather from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Luxury community
A Swiss-themed community with chalet-inspired homes in Tagaytay can particularly offer you the respite you need in these trying times and beyond.
Crosswinds, Brittany Corporation’s luxury community in Tagaytay City, offers that opportunity to revel in the perks of living here—stunning panoramic views, some 30,000 magnificent pine trees spread across 100 hectares of land with deep, rich foliage, as well as clusters of gorgeous homes spread evenly within the vicinity. As the luxury residential brand of Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc., Brittany has built in Crosswinds rows of luxurious vertical and horizontal communities well suited to cater to the varying tastes and lifestyles of its discerning residents.
Here, Vista Land chairman Manuel B. Villar Jr. has sought to recreate the allure of Baguio, a mountain resort city famous for its cool climate and its massive pine trees that give off such a refreshing scent. Currently, there are some 30,000 pine trees within this picturesque community in Tagaytay. The property tycoon believes that adorning spaces with brightly colored blooms and trees is an inexpensive way to beautify one’s area.
And despite the Taal Volcano’s eruption and devastation in January this year, Crosswinds today remains a beautiful sight to behold given Vista Land’s unwavering commitment to bounce back at the soonest possible time. Apart from quickly restoring the few damages wrought by the eruption, the Villar Group has also stepped up to take an active part in the relief efforts for families displaced by this disaster.
Elegant homes
Crosswinds offers wide array of upscale residences to suit your needs. Its initial vertical offering is The Grand Quartier, which towers over this masterplanned community. This medium rise condominium development boasts of a viewing deck that features a 180 degree view of the masterplanned community, highlighting Tagaytay’s lush landscape. The Swiss Quadrilles meanwhile is a cluster of stunning, elegant homes that feature Crosswinds’ eminent thematic offerings. It has four homes to a structure, which rises only three storeys high, thus affording dwellers utmost exclusivity, privacy, and the luxury of space.
The townhouses of Deux Pointe further illustrate Vista Land and Brittany’s expertise as developers of thematic living, while its latest offering within such a beautiful community, The Alpine Villas will rise across a stunning view of Tagaytay’s greeneries. This will be a collection of six- to eight-story mid-rise villas in the style of Swiss chalets. The Alpine Villas’ well designed vertical abodes are space efficient and offer panoramic views of the beautiful masterplanned community hidden from the bustle of Tagaytay.
The Terraces is a 24-hectare development featuring six enclaves, parks and playgrounds, an infinity pool, hanging pavilions, and hiking, mountain bike and ATV trails, to name a few.
Vista Land is further mulling to open more structures here too for the comfort and convenience of its residents: an Instagrammable coffee shop, events place and possibly, a hillside chapel.
There is no doubt that Vista Land, through Crosswinds, offers the best of what Tagaytay has to offer—an opportunity to commune with nature in the comfort of a beautiful home, while basking in the refreshing, convenient and opulent lifestyle that awaits you here.
