Italian Villa Style Home

The Italian Villa Style Home is an elaborately styled structure which is very ornate and gives off a near Spanish influence. Built as a country home for the wealthy landowner, it is much larger and more ornate than the Tuscan farmhouse.

The Villa was also designed as an escape from the city. A place for the wealthy city dweller to relax and unwind in the beautiful countryside of Italy...

...thus the reason for making the exterior living spaces and gardens significant.

Common Italian Villa features may include:

Castellated Towerhouse

Porticos and/or Loggias

Arched Windows with Hood Ornamentation

Flat, Gabled or Hip Roof

Tall Windows on First Level

Villa Decor: Decidedly French and Italian Style
