a summer house on ponza, italy

published August 3, 2009 in inspiration interiors travel |

I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! Mine was too short, as always and I am already looking forward to next weekend.

Today I take you to this beautiful house on the island of Ponza Italy. I love the white plastered walls of this cave house. Although the ceilings are low, the house is still light and airy.

Ponza is the largest of the Italian Pontine Islands archipelago, located 33 km south of Cape Circeo in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The island is located about halfway between Naples and Rome. It’s a volcanic island with some nice beaches as well as spectacular cliffs. You can read more about Ponza in this article that was published in The Independent.

I just might have to move to the Mediterranean if you keep posting any more pictures of gorgeous homes from Italy or Greece…I love how simple this home is. And there’s something so beautiful about the colors against the white walls and floors. I will officially be daydreaming the rest of the day.
