What Is It Like Living in Portofino?
The Italian lifestyle encourages “la dolce vita,” or “the sweet life.” This lifestyle philosophy means enjoying everything that life has to offer, from the grand luxuries to the small joys. La dolce vita can mean having a delicious cup of espresso in your home right as you wake up in the morning. It can also mean taking a calm walk around your neighborhood in the late afternoon sun. Of course, you can always indulge in good food with your family and friends or spend a day swimming in the cool blue waters.
Brittany Corporation brings the la dolce vita experience to Filipinos with Portofino Alabang, a carefully planned Italian-themed luxury community under Vista Alabang. Inspired by the sunny countryside of Italy, Portofino Alabang is one of the most sought-after Daang Hari subdivisions. This luxury community brings the Italian lifestyle to Philippine shores, enabling more families to experience world-class Brittany living with an Italian twist.
