Roberto Benigni had it right: The award-winning Italian comic who rose to international stardom as the man behind the delightful 1997 blockbuster Life is Beautiful has the exact phrase to describe how one should see life. Should Benigni get the chance to visit the Philippines and stay at the posh McKinley Hill Tuscany Private Estates at Fort Bonifacio, he would probably remark “Life is Beautiful” twice over.
What is there not to like? The Italian-inspired landscape of McKinley Hill Tuscany Private Estates brings culture-heavy Tuscany into our local shores. Not just the Italian architecture, but a whole new way of life. After all, to live under the Tuscan sun means living and breathing pleasure.
For starters, the gated 1.5-hectare village encloses 6 Tuscan-Mediterranean style residential clusters – complete with classical stone details and elegant arches. These arches lead to the penultimate seventh cluster – at staggering 17 stories the highest of the lot. To complete the authentic Italian feel, rooflines are designed to vary while facades are splashed with bright colors. The clusters themselves are connected via a four-level edifice that deliberately resembles the historic Ponte Vecchio.
The McKinley Hill Tuscany Private Estate model unit is now available for viewing at the site. Please call 815-1888 to get the Tuscan-inspired residence of your dreams.
