Love is in the air at Crosswinds

There is much to love about Crosswinds.

One is altogether transported to a quieter, gentler place upon entering the exclusive Tagaytay development by Brittany Corporation, a subsidiary of Vista Land. With its charming Swiss- inspired architecture and rolling terrain, the 100-hectare community is decidedly picture- pretty. There are pocket gardens filled with cheerful flowers that brighten green slopes, and lush stands of pine trees that scent the air with sweet pine resin. These are where one would find wild birds perched on tree boughs happily chirping away. In another area of the community, a gurgling clean brook gently meanders through stones. All these invite residents to pause, rediscover simple pleasures, and imbibe the calming effect of nature.

Had enough of the quiet? The usual Tagaytay haunts that offer a variety of action; night-life and superlative dining are just minutes away. Alternatively, residents can set their own pace to walk or jog uphill and downhill through the Crosswinds development’s well-paved roads to get that cardiovascular workout. And as they slow down to rest, they might be surprised to find clumps of wild clover with tiny and delicate lavender blooms. Or yellow and black butterflies and greenish-gold dragonflies hovering above well-trimmed hedges. Perhaps, inhale the sweet smell of newly-cut grass.

Crosswinds is a mere 57 kilometers from Metro Manila, making it a convenient destination where one can retreat from the city. The community’s cool and calming quiet allows residents a chance to revitalize after the frenetic pace of urban living. At Crosswinds, homeowners have the option of choosing a custom home site where they can build their own Swiss chalets, or opt for a house and lot such as the charming duplex units of Deux Pointe, situated at the highest peak of the property. Others, however, choose to stay in upscale Grand Quartier condominiums whose two towers offer a magnificent birds-eye-view of the community and surrounding expanse of over 20,000 pine trees.

Experience the Crosswinds lifestyle by booking a serviced apartment at the Grand Quartier

The good news is that it is now possible to sample that special Crosswinds lifestyle without actually buying a property. Through a partnership with Hospitality International Inc. (HII) and the Grand Quartier Serviced Apartment Program, individually-owned condominium units are pooled to operate as a hotel. This means that beautifully furnished units open for daily, weekly or monthly stays, and are now available at reasonable rates

A place for sharing intimate meals

HII has a track record where unit-owners attest to the superior quality of operations and the value they provide. The company currently operates six properties. Among theses are two condominium hotels, two residential condominiums, and one “condormitel.” Unit owners are essentially partners in the operation – investing in the furnishing and design of their property according to the guidelines that HII has set to achieve a consistent look.

And thus a Crosswinds getaway is now possible as a Valentines Day retreat. But seeing as love should always be expressed, The Grand Quartier at Crosswinds is also where memorable moments with loved ones can be shared throughout the year. Sample the lifestyle at Crosswinds and prepare to be enamored. You just might decide to invest in a home all your own.
