Italian living elegance

MANILA, Philippines - Under azure skies is a quaint Italian village kissed by the golden sun. Its houses radiate a warm Tuscan glow from the natural stone walls. Outside the gate, porches polished to a showroom-shine lure passersby. The air is filled with the aroma of mushroom risotto boiling down to a simmer. You can also hear the clink of glasses and lively chatter of people enjoying wine on a lazy afternoon.

No, this isn’t a scene from a film shot in an idyllic Italian town. Nor is it someone recounting the highlights of his Roman holiday. It’s a weekend at Sta. Rosa, Laguna in a masterplanned community by Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc.’s Crown Asia called Valenza.

Taking inspiration from the architecture, landscape and effervescent spirit of a quaint Italian village, Crown Asia recently treated guests and potential homeowners to a vibrant slice of Italian life at Valenza.

Valenza, the Italian word for “valence,” is a harmonious balance between comfort and elegance in one grand design.
