Enjoy a Nice View of Laguna de Bay in The Forest Villas by Lily
Overlooking the majestic Laguna de Bay and Mount Makiling, The Forest Villas by Lily’s 4 large villas is the perfect site to relax and just enjoy the view. On a clear day, you can get to see the nearby capital town of Sta. Cruz, Laguna from this 2-hectare paradise.
There is also a dedicated view deck on the highest point of the property where you can also enjoy your breakfast, lunch, or snacks which gives you a 180-degree view of the scenery. I find the place to be serene and is just a perfect spot for me to relax and enjoy nature’s view. The place is quite far from the nearest town proper and taking public transportation can be a challenge. I recommend that you bring your own vehicle for a hassle-free experience. There is an ample space for parking within the property.
