The romance of Italy

MANILA, Philippines - From Leonardo Da Vinci’s blank canvas sprang forth Mona Lisa’s captivating smile. From a block of marble, Michaelangelo painstakingly sculpted his towering masterpiece, David. From 300 hectares of prime acreage located at the heart of Manila South, Brittany Corporation gives rise to Portofino, a masterpiece in its own right.

With its resplendent Italian architecture, creativity and craftsmanship, the masterplanned community of Portofino evokes old world charm and present-day patrician elegance. It is where vibrant beauty resides—in the sprawling landscape and luxurious living spaces that graciously celebrate the good life.

Evoking romance

A proud member of the country’s largest home builder, Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., Brittany brings to life the Italian seaside town that has inspired this development through sun-drenched colors of terra cotta and sunflower yellow in Portofino’s color palette. Gabled roofs, arched windows adorned with plant boxes overflowing with colorful flowers, balconies with wrought-iron railings, cobblestone pathways and soaring cupolas give the property its signature look – evoking the romance of a culture that truly espouses la dolce vita.

This upscale, gated residential development boasts of various choices of beautiful home designs available in Portofino Heights, Portofino South, Amore of Portofino, Courtyards of Portofino I and II, and the Wide Lots of Portofino. Each of these has its unique characteristics catering to the different requirements of its homeowners. Each also captures the spirit of both the nation it was inspired from and the country where it now stands.

“Filipinos and Italians share the same passion for life and zest for beauty. Italy is toasted as the design capital of the West and the Philippines is its acknowledged counterpart in the East. At Brittany, we understand the strength of this connection and we celebrate this relationship in every aspect of the design and construction of this masterfully planned community we have come to call Portofino,” said Brittany’s Chief Operating Officer Mary Lee Sadiasa.

Top-rate features

The good and vibrant life at Portofino is evident in the host of facilities made available in the entire development. Parco di Portofino is a 19,918 sqm amenities area at Portofino South. Monte di Portofino is the amenities area of Portofino Heights which includes an Italian lap pool and kiddie pool, a grand ballroom, fully equipped gym, a basketball court, tennis court, badminton court, and a river park.
