It’s the season of love once again as we celebrate Valentine’s Day on Monday.

Throughout this pandemic, we learned how social relationships are important to support our emotional health and well-being. Even though we are cooped up in our homes because of the quarantines, nothing uplifts the spirits more than hearing from those we love and knowing how much they’re cheering and praying for us while we go through these uncertain times.

Getting and giving love keeps us going, especially during the toughest of days. Of course, it’s not only romantic love that I’m referring to here, but love for oneself, for one’s family and friends as well.

That said, don’t you think it’s only right to celebrate love every day, beyond Valentine’s Day?

One place that’s dedicated to letting its residents and guests experience love 365 days a year is Suntrust Properties Inc.’s Verona. Named after one of the most romantic cities in Italy that is famous for being the setting of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” this residential development is considered the “love capital” of all Suntrust Properties projects. Located in Brgy. Hoyo, Silang, Cavite, Suntrust Verona lies just along the Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa National Road. A likeness of the Fontana di Venere greets you as you drive through the grand arched entrance, in what seems to be a sign that you’re in for a dreamy and whimsical time at this charming property with your loved ones in tow.

Six residential phases comprise the 62-hectare enclave. Each phase features a variety of single-detached and duplex homes which are elegantly designed and, of course, inspired by Italian architecture. Those who wish to call this picturesque community home may choose from eight types of house models with floor areas that range from 93.91 sqm (Mariella Premium) to 179.02 sqm (Amadea).

Designed to encourage walking among residents, one will surely be delighted with the replica of Casa di Guilietta. There’s also an Italian-themed nature park, bridges and brick pathways and a love lock garden. Taking a stroll around Verona promises to be quite a treat each time.

Those who wish to live an active lifestyle amid Silang’s cool and refreshing climate would be pleased to find out that Verona also features a swimming pool, basketball court and hiking trail. You can meet your new neighbors at the nearby Clock tower, Clubhouse and viewing deck. Shop houses can also be found within the property.

Future homeowners will surely love Verona’s proximity to Tagaytay as it is just a 15-minute drive from the property. Shopping destinations such as Paseo de Sta. Rosa and Ayala Malls Solenad are nearby as well. The gated community is likewise near industrial zones (Laguna Technopark, Coca-Cola), schools (Don Bosco, Ateneo Graduate School), and hospitals (Southern Luzon Medical Center, Fort Med, and New Sinai Hospital).

It won’t be surprising if Suntrust Verona leaves you smitten after your first visit and makes you want to call it home. Here, you are not just given glimpses of rustic Italy all year round, you’re also presented with the perfect setting for your beautiful stories of love to unfold.
