Italy has always been more than a place on the map: it is a promise, a pursuit, and a philosophy of a well-lived life. To wander its cobblestone streets is to walk through chapters of ages old, to linger over a meal of bread, wine, and conversation is to savor time itself. From the sunlit vineyards unfurling across Tuscan hills to coastal towns cascading toward the cerulean sea, it offers more than wonders: it provides a worldview.
This is the essence of la dolce vita—the sweet life—where beauty, culture, and kinship are not reserved for the rare moments but interwoven into the everyday. It is a lifestyle that beckons the body with its flavors, moves the mind with its mastery of artistry, and stirs the spirit with its shared celebrations of community. It is both indulgence and intention, a harmony of past and present, heritage and hope, aspiration and achievement.
In real estate, this timeless tradition finds exquisite expression in neighborhoods that are not only locations to live in but also lifescapes to long for—residential enclaves refined by history yet shaped for modern sensibilities. Crown Asia, the Philippines’ foremost builder of themed developments across the archipelago, captures this romance in its newest jewels—Siena, Vietri, and Trieste—three Italian-inspired masterpieces reimagined for the Filipino movers and makers.
Classic Italian craftsmanship in Cavite
At the forefront of these Italian lifescapes lies Bacoor, the northernmost city in Cavite and the most celebrated gateway to Metro Manila. It is here that transformation gains tribute, with the once bedroom community rising to become a breakthrough metropolis—its pulse quickened by culture, commerce, and infrastructure.
Connectivity is the path towards the ascent of Bacoor: expressways such as the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) and Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX), together with thoroughfares including Daang Hari Road and Aguinaldo Highway, offer seamless links to the central business districts of Makati, Bonifacio Global City (BGC), and Muntinlupa. This transportation network has turned Bacoor into a cosmopolitan corridor, situated close to the dynamism of Metro Manila, yet deeply rooted in the kinship of Cavite.
Bacoor City, however, is not only a place of movement; it is also a place of meaning. Its neighborhoods hum with heritage, its communities celebrate connection, and its landscapes provide progress and permanence. It is this balance—between access and affinity, ambition and attachment—that makes Bacoor the home of the Crown Asia Italian trilogy.
Siena, the spirit of Tuscany
The Tuscan hills are a region kissed by sun, splendor, and song. From the rolling vineyards that produce the most beloved wines in the world to the Renaissance cities that revolutionized art and science, Tuscany is the embodiment of refined yet rustic living. The city of Siena, in particular, captivates with its medieval charm, terracotta rooftops, and a famed piazza where festivals and feasts endure.
This imagery inspires Siena by Crown Asia, a 5.9-hectare lot-only property in Bacoor City. Here, each parcel of land spanning 180 to 300 square meters offers a canvas for individuals and investors to design their own Tuscan sanctuary. Imagine idyllic houses framed by arched windows, featuring travertine finishes and wrought-iron balconies, each echoing the style and sophistication of the region.
Its clubhouse will stand as a piazzetta, complete with swimming pool, gym, function halls, and landscaped Italian gardens. A sports pavilion will house courts for basketball, tennis, badminton, and even pickleball, while playgrounds invite children to make their own memories. In Siena, tradition is rooted in the timelessness of Tuscany, offering a themed development where families thrive in warmth and wellness.
Vietri, the sparkle of the Amalfi Coast
If Tuscany speaks of serene landscapes, the Amalfi Coast sings of the sunlight, sea, and sparkle. This UNESCO World Heritage site dazzles with its cliffside towns overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, each street adorned with colorful majolica tiles and each view framed by horizons of saffron, amber, and tangerine. At its heart lies Vietri sul Mare, known as the ‘First Pearl of the Amalfi Coast’ and the ‘Ceramic Capital of the Coast.’ Here, vivid ceramics capture the Mediterranean palette—sunshine yellow, sea blue, verdant green, and fiery red—preserving daily life through distinct art.
Crown Asia celebrates this artistry through Vietri by Crown Asia, a 3.6-hectare themed development in Bacoor City. Designed to replicate the coastal charm of Amalfi, the themed development will feature four Italian-inspired home models—Franco, Lladro, Murano, and Beryl—ranging in size from 154 to 200 square meters. Each is an example of present-day tastes, designed for the upwardly mobile Filipino families seeking both comfort and cultural resonance.
The upscale location of Vietri further enhances its appeal, positioning it as an address of prestige. Families are assured of proximity to De La Salle Zobel, the University of Perpetual Help, Statefield International School, and St. Dominic College of Asia—academic institutions known for shaping future leaders and professionals. For peace of mind, healthcare facilities such as Bacoor Doctors Medical Center, St. Dominic Medical Center, and Medical Center Imus are all within reach, ensuring that wellness and well-being remain a constant for residents.
Lifestyle and leisure also flourish in abundance. Within minutes, residents can immerse themselves in retail therapy through Evia and NOMO, where world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences abound. Emerging concepts like The Crossing Café and Bar and Roma bring a complement to the character of the community. Even for short escapes or business gatherings, the nearby Brittany Hotel offers an elevated experience suited for staycations and corporate functions.
Trieste, the stalwart of Citta Italia
On the northeastern frontier, Trieste stands as a crossroads of cultures—a port city where Austro-Hungarian refinement greets the Italian reverie. Along its seaboards, one encounters a graceful grandeur that makes Trieste singular even among the storied cities in the country.
Trieste by Crown Asia inherits this fusion of histories in Cavite. Situated within the 74-hectare Citta Italia, a multi-phased themed development in Bacoor City, it is a nearly one-hectare residential enclave composed exclusively of three-storey townvillas called Trive. It is compact yet contemporary in execution, perfect for professionals and prime movers seeking upward mobility.
Strategically situated along Molino Boulevard and Daang Hari Road, Trieste serves as a connector, linking the commercial capitals of Metro Manila with the corridors of Cavite. Like its Italian namesake, it is both gateway and goal: a bridge between tradition and transformation, memory and modernity, aspiration and achievement.
