Mediterranean villa

Seaside luxury home

A Mediterranean villa is a style of house inspired by the architecture of coastal Southern Europe—particularly Italy, Spain, and Greece.

Characteristic features include stucco walls, red tile roofs, arched doorways and windows, wrought-iron details, and interior courtyards.

The style evokes warmth and old-world elegance: They bought a Mediterranean villa overlooking the canyon.

Popular in California and Florida since the 1920s.
