You don’t have to live in the Mediterranean to be inspired by its architecture and allowing the outdoors indoors.

And probably a lot cooler too. But then, I find most Mediterranean type houses tend to be built for the heat, so are just about bearable in summer, even without air conditioning.

I love that Vancouver villa. Oh, boy do we need some fun in the UK this week. Thank you for the distraction, Marina.
There might be more than the usual note of escapism in this week’s post, as you so rightly observe!
The Vancouver one gets my vote too – gorgeous!

New Zealand one is the dream for me! Maybe one day…
Oh, these are all so lovely, Marina Sofia! They’re just so beautiful and peaceful. My choice is the one in Cape Town, but they’re all wonderful.
Vancouver for me too! Don’t know whether it’s the greenery and the water at the moment, but it looks lovely! 😀
Now I have holiday vibes!
Mostly too modern for my taste, but I could spend some happy time in the Vancouver one…
I’m just a nature lover. Want a cottage surrounded by trees or on a lake with trees around. Coziness, trees and shade are what I need.
All too modern for my taste and the last one looks like a hotel.
