The warm shores of the Mediterranean Sea have been the perfect destination of Europeans escaping the harsh cold of winter. The Spanish locals lavish in sun-filled days, a laid back lifestyle, and great cuisine. Filipinos in search of this combination lifestyle of tropical indoor-outdoor living, Iberian charm, and modern conveniences will find it in South Forbes Golf City’s Mediterranean Villas.
Now on the last phase of its development, the Mediterranean Villas introduces three new model villas — Almeria, Tarragona, and Costa del Sol — in addition to the original four model villas Castellon, Sevilla, Alicante, and Cadiz.
The Almeria is one of six duplex villas located in a private neighborhood within the Mediterranean Villas enclave. The size of this model unit is ideal for young couples about to start a family. The wife will surely enjoy mastering her cooking skills in the kitchen while the husband can slowly work on the baby’s room when he gets home from work.
The Tarragona, on the other hand, suits the lifestyle of a family with young teenagers. With the changing needs of adolescents nowadays, personal space is more important than ever. The young man needs a place to be his techy self while the young lady needs space to host slumber parties with her friends. Each room now comes with its own walk-in closet and personal toilet and bath.
South Forbes has also adapted to the home needs of the retirement class with the introduction of its stylish bungalow unit, Costa del Sol. Visiting family members are welcome to stay over in their guest rooms while their grandchildren can run around in their spacious garden. The open plan of the living-dining-and kitchen areas is tailor-made to the Filipino’s love of family gatherings and large windows take full advantage of views and sunlight.
The Villas clubhouse, the village’s main amenity, reveals the warmth of the Spanish Mediterranean coast. With its angled wings, the clubhouse appears to embrace the tropically landscaped pool that sports a colorful sunburst design. Cascading waterfalls feed the pool, and kids and adults alike will surely enjoy swimming in its clear waters. And what better way to enjoy the summer heat than to dine at the South Villas Café with its selection of Mediterranean dishes and cool, refreshing drinks.
Every kind of family can build their home in the Mediterranean Villas. Every homeowner is also entitled to free golf membership to the world-class 18-hole South Forbes Golf Club. Call 635-7777 or 631-8855 for a free city tour and a complimentary round of golf.
