McKinley Hill Tuscany offers true Italian experiences

When the debate rages on about which country has the best foods, Italy is sure to be mentioned many times over. Pizza, pasta, antipasti, risotto, sausages, and bread are but some of the best the country has to offer.

When sampling Italian dishes, it always helps if you can lend an authentic fare to your meal. Instead of dining out, do it yourself. Use fresh, Italian ingredients. Cook it the way Italians do it – by hand and with lots of passion. And top off the meal with Italian wine or coffee.

It’s best to eat this lavishly prepared meal under a truly Italian-style setting – at the comfort of your own home at McKinley Hill Tuscany Private Estate in Fort Bonifacio. The heavy Mediterranean influence can be seen right out of the gate – abundant giardini — verdant parks, fountain-laden courtyards and lush trees adorns a fifth of the entire 1.5-ectare project, a refreshing respite for overworked urban eyes. Six clusters, each with stone detailing, elegant arches and varying rooflines depict real Tuscan villas, while a seventh cluster towers majestically 17 stories. Facades are painted in different festive hues, while covered walkways among the clusters lead to a retail row inspired by the trattorias and pizzerias in the Old World. This time around, these shops will house specialty boutiques and charming restaurants.

Homes are also patterned after their historic namesake. Each unit has wide windows that beckon towards the giardini. Solid surface countertops, built-in cabinets, and stainless-steel sinks are ready for use, while Italian standard ceramic tiles adorn walls and bath floors. Modern exhaust ducts help maintain room temperature, while hot and cold water are available on tap. The living and sleeping areas features laminated wooden floors. Other modern provisions include cable TV, internet and telephony lines, and individual keyed mailboxes.
