Live a vivid vision in the colors and culture of coastal Italy at Vietri by Crown Asia
Manila Bulletin
|September 14, 2025
Tucked between the wind and the waves of the Amalfi Coast is a less-traveled paradise romantically named Vietri sul Mare.
-

Often called the "First Pearl of the Amalfi Coast," Vietri sul Mare earns this title as the first-or last-of the 13 towns, depending on the direction of travel. It is also known as the "Ceramic Capital of the Coast," where vivid majolica tiles adorn centuries-old buildings, making cobblestone streets shimmer beneath the Italian sun.
Recognized for their distinctive tin glaze, Vietri sul Mare ceramics are celebrated for their lively Mediterranean palette: the yellow of the sun, the green of nature, the blue of the sea, the red of local cuisine, and the fiery temperament of the locals. Each handcrafted piece features classic motifs drawn from everyday life, preserving a tradition that continues to flourish today.
Vietri sul Mare is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that enchants with the most expansive coastlines, kaleidoscopic homes, and captivating panoramas that linger in the heart long after they are beheld.
Inspired by this coastal gem, Crown Asia brings the charm of the Amalfi to life in North Molino. This is Vietri by Crown Asia, where heritage is handcrafted, and every day is a canvas of color and culture.
