It's been almost five months since we went out of town, not including the day trip we made to Lipa. Doesn't count since it was short. Anyway, Dennis was going to attend a wedding at Tagaytay Highlands and Matt and I were glad to tag along, hang out while Dennis was out.
For almost forever, we've been staying at their family rest house and didn't need to rent a place. Now that they've closed down the place, we had no choice. We were lucky to get a place at the Highlands. No matter how many times we go to Tagaytay, the view will always take my breath away, but from where we stayed and waking up to the sight of the Taal lake and volcano, was definitely something else.
We stayed at the Pinecrest Village. I've only been to Europe once and this felt like Europe. The weather was very cool and windy. What caught my attention was the architecture and the different designs of apartments/condos. It reminded me of the small apartment we rented in Crimea, just near the Black Sea. Pinecrest Village didn't feel like we were in the Philippines. It's great to get out of the city every now and then, and experience a totally different place.

| Well, good morning! |

| Can I possibly give up the city to live here? YES! |

| Dabos. This was our building. It was very scary at night because we were only 2 occupants and it was so quiet. The only sound that can be heard was the howling of the wind. That was very spooky. |

| So cozy! |

| We originally wanted to stay here, at the Woodlands, but there were no vacancies. Perhaps next time. |
If you're planning a trip to Tagaytay, staying at the Highlands is a must. A lot of activities to do inside without having to go out. Plus, not wise especially when it gets dark. The roads are very steep and have sharp turns. You might end up driving straight off the cliff. We wouldn't want that, would we? :o)
Lovely place, Mama Jen!:)
ReplyDeletei wanna live there!!!
DeleteCrimea is a magic piece of the world, but hotels are rather expensive there. If you need a cheap accommodation in Crimea, it is better to rent an apartment. I gathered some contacts in my directory http://ukraine-vacation-guide.com/dir/apartments/crimea/135 to facilitate people’s search of Crimean apartments. If you know other good accommodation, you can submit it to the directory as well.
ReplyDeletethanks for the info. unfortunately, i can't remember which apartment we stayed but it was just walking distance going to the black sea.

ReplyDeleteSorry but we were just guests to attend a wedding. From what I know, you need be sponsored by a member. We're not members, either.
