The new villa

"Why not blog about villas?" Someone recently suggested.
And why not! I live in a continent full of villas, from Scotland to Turkey and everywhere in between. This vast area was once the Roman empire and the Romans gave us the villa.

The villa I have for you today is in Spain and has only recently been finished. No one has moved in on a permanent basis and except for the beds, sparce furnishing and cushions this villa is empty, but that's the thing with villas, even occupied they should look spacious and empty.

  3. Yes that is a nice kitchen and they are probably are keeping it vacant for you.

    I forgot to mention the floors, they're colored and polished cement.

  5. What a wonderful blog. I may never leave. I just found your blog and wonderful etsy store via Annechovie blogspot. I love anything to do with travel, photography and the Mediterranean and your work captures these beautifully. Hope to come back and visit often.

  6. Oh, mercy. That place really rings my bell. And you're right. A villa should have that spacious, almost abandoned look. If you have good architecture and appropriate plantings, furniture and knick knacks only get in the way.
