Tucked away in the serene enclave of La Bella Residences, fondly known as the Little Santorini of Tagaytay, The Greek Pod is a hidden gem that offers a cozy and well-designed retreat. We discovered this enchanting stay on the Agoda app while searching for an aesthetic and comfortable place for a short getaway. La Bella Residences mirrors the beauty of Santorini, with its white textured walls and calming ocean-blue hues that instantly transport you to the Mediterranean.

A Thoughtfully Designed Tiny Retreat

The Greek Pod itself is a delightful, Airbnb-style accommodation—compact yet remarkably well-designed. The interiors are a symphony of crisp white and soft blue, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere despite the limited space. Every inch of this tiny haven has been meticulously planned to maximize comfort and functionality.

One of its most fascinating features is the lounge area, cleverly positioned beneath the elevated bed. Spacious and inviting, it serves as a cozy nook for relaxation. Ascending the narrow, steep staircase leads to the snug yet comfortable sleeping space, offering a sense of intimacy and retreat. The pod is fully equipped with thoughtful amenities, including a sink, cabinets, ample storage drawers, and a well-appointed bathroom—everything you need seamlessly integrated into a compact yet stylish layout.

The La Bella Experience

Beyond the walls of The Greek Pod, the charm of La Bella Residences continues to unfold. Within the same compound lies the La Bella Boutique Hotel, a similarly captivating retreat that embodies the same Santorini-inspired aesthetic. The entire area is a secluded oasis, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

One of the highlights of our stay was Bella Ciao, an Italian restaurant nestled within the compound. Serving up indulgent dishes like handcrafted pizzas and rich seafood marinara pasta, Bella Ciao was a culinary delight. The open-air ambiance of the restaurant made for a perfectly romantic evening date. Come morning, the restaurant transforms into a cozy breakfast spot, offering classic Pinoy favorites to start the day right.

Aside from Bella Ciao, La Bella Residences is home to other dining options, ensuring guests have a variety of choices without needing to venture far.
