Hard to believe this is a Hotel, lovely, just lovely! Designed by Paolo Fracasso in 2013, this amazing luxurious mediterranean hotel is situated in Martano, Italy. via Mat Watts in Architecture.
Old World Design
I especially love the old world feel and textures. I found a great site to accomplish these finishes and I also discovered a lot of these photos via http://linenandlavender.net .

Design around Nature
If you know me, you know black is my favorite design palette. Like the little black dress it goes with
everything. As illustrated below, the art and accessories add the POP!!!
Love the simplicity of the lap pool.
Simple yet dramatic.
I do like the openness of this design, not sure about this tree in the middle. How do you guard against critters and the weather?
