Experience La Dolce Vita at Tuscany

The legendary beauty of Tuscany has captivated many men and women throughout the centuries. Its landscape, history, art and way of life have become the font of inspiration for many a celebrated author and artist. Its timeless pulchritude has been consecrated in poetry, music, painting and film.

Megaworld Corporation, the country’s leading and most dynamic property developer, is proud to bring the beauty of this Italian region in its latest project in Fort Bonifacio, the McKinley Hill Tuscany Private Estate. Bringing forward the company’s signature touch on luxury housing, this township is envisioned to give its residents an unforgettable Tuscan-inspired way of life.

Rising on this one and a half hectare property are six low-rise residential clusters lined up along upper McKinley road and a seventh mid-rise tower at a towering 17 floors. The palazzo-style residential buildings will be roofed in stucco tiles, contain spacious balconies, and have facades in ochre and burnt sienna decorated with arches and grillwork – mimicking the majesty of centuries-old Florentine-style architecture.

A fifth of the property is spruced with greenery. Palm fronds and frangipani trees line the footpaths that interlink one cluster to the other. Tucked in between are courtyards or shaded mini-piazzas where residents can sit, take a break and relax around the fountains or stroll around with his beloved or family for a late afternoon passegiatta.

The Ponte Vecchio enclave, inspired by the world-famous Florentine landmark of the same name, will not only house residential units but would connect adjacent clusters to one another. Under its shadow will be the Isola Toscana, the complex’s main leisure area. You can have your own Mediterranean tan on the vast sun deck beside a 15-meter lap pool. For those with children, they can bring them to the wading pool where they can have their own fun. There is also a secluded play area behind Cluster 7. Shaded underneath tropical trees are a toddler’s playground, a playground for older children and a fitness area for adults where they can practice yoga or outdoor aerobics.

Inside there will be other amenities that one may avail for indoor rest and relaxation. There will be a gym for sports lovers, sauna, function room for special occasions and playroom for the kids and their friends. On the other side of Ponte Vecchio will be Parco Bello, the complex’s central park built around a beautiful lagoon. Much like any Italian cobble stoned piazza, it will be here that community residents can leisurely meet and catch up.

The ground floors of the clusters will be a vibrant retail area to service the needs of those living in the community. These will include specialty stores, cafes and gourmet restaurants. It will also be the address of some of the city’s most honored Italian establishments, with an unprecedented line-up of fine trattorias and pizzerias.

All of this beauty extends towards the interior of the residential complexes. Each will have a grand lobby with its own doorman to service residents. Right above residential units of varying sizes will be available to suit anyone’s lifestyle – from trendy executive studios and one-bedroom units for young urban professionals to homey two-bedroom and three-bedroom units for young families.

Each luxurious condo unit will be given a modern, Tuscan-style look that complements the surroundings.
