Sars, having just been to Tagaytay and Taal, I have to agree, it really is a beautiful area. I love the winding mountain road and forests on the way down from Tagaytay to the shores of Taal lake. We got a Jeepney from Taal to Batangas and on to Tanauan and drove through some nices villages and towns (you've already seen my FB photo's ) . Another advantage is that it's close enough to Metro Manila if needed, and well served by buses and good roads (by Phil standards)
yeah tagaytay is beautiful ,the weather is warm during the day and temperature drops in the afternoon and the evening (enough to stop my husband from melting lol)..anyway,hope it was still not too over crowded when we plan to settle there in the next 10-15years
