A weekend drive and a barbecue at Pranjetto Hills


You don’t need to go far if you need to recharge your batteries after a long week of working. You can hie off to nearby Tanay, Rizal and go to Pranjetto Hills.

A mere one hour away from bustling Metro Manila, Tanay is becoming a favorite weekend getaway for denizens of the city.The trip is well-worth it.

We went there early one morning for an overnight stay. We were in a convoy of three vehicles.

After passing by the Antipolo Road, the landscape began to change from cityscape to rolling hills and winding roads.

We had a nice view of mountains and Laguna de Bay, as we passed by quaint houses and small farms along the way.

Nestled on the hills of Tanay is Pranjetto Hills.

The place is unpretentious. The courteous caretakers led us to a few bungalow-type rooms, arranged neatly into rows. There is a swimming pool, and a playground.

From our room, it took us about five minutes to reach the azure pool glistening under the sun. One good thing is that the pool was not crowded.

Developers followed the natural contours of the land, thus, we literally had to go up and down to reach the pool or explore the nearby lush greens surrounding Pranjetto Hills.

The bungalows have ample space for an outdoor barbecue. After soaking all day long in the pool, we had dinner outdoors against a backdrop of hills and trees as the sun sets. Perfect.
