Passion comes to life at Niccolo

MANILA, Philippines - The beginning of every lifelong relationship can be traced to that spark of fiery passion from which love takes root and grows. This blaze of ardor can be felt within every aspect of Niccolo – the first model home in the new series of homes at Amore of Portofino.

Continuing to reaffirm its claim as the true maverick of the Philippines’ property development industry, Brittany Corporation recently opened the doors of this finely-crafted property. A proud member of the country’s largest home builder, Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., Brittany fashioned this development with the fervor of passion and the inspiration of the romance of Italian architecture. The newest addition to this masterfully planned community is truly a home that love built.

With a floor area of 141 sqm., every square inch of Niccolo is a reflection of the passionate spirit that has inspired its creation. The façade, in earthy terra cotta accentuated with natural stones, simultaneously evokes the grandeur of Europe and the quaintness of a Mediterranean villa.

Maximizing every inch of space

Inside is a cozy home where the importance of the family is undeniably at the heart of its design. The living room, dining area, and kitchen all flow into each other seamlessly but maintain a healthy respect for the differences in the purpose of each space. One can easily hold a conversation between family members situated in the different areas without having to raise one’s voice. Yet separate discussions can also be held without intruding into each others’ activities.

A sliding door at the dining area opens up to the garden where another sitting area is situated to accommodate more guests for dinner parties, or secure some privacy for more intimate discussions. At the back of the kitchen is the maid’s quarters with its own bedroom, and toilet and bath. Also at the back is where the laundry area is located as well as a back entrance for added convenience.

An interesting feature of the ground level is a guests’ toilet and bath with a glass door that opens to a pocket garden. The garden is surrounded by a high wall which ensures privacy should one choose to keep the curtains open and enjoy the unexpected lush flower garden.

The second level holds the master’s bedroom with its own toilet and bath, and two smaller bedrooms that share a detached toilet and bath. An added feature of the master’s bedroom is a sliding door that opens to the balcony where the couple can enjoy breakfast and the morning paper with a breathtaking view of the beautifully landscaped property.

Amore at Portofino sits on fertile, windswept terrain, incorporating many enchanting architectural details of rustic Tuscany such as the cupolas and the courtyards that serve as trademarks of the entire Portofino development.
