Sometimes a house is so simple and raw that the beauty of the home itself it what you notice more than what's furnishing it (don't get me wrong, there are some fantastic vintage pieces in here!). This private, country residence it Treviso, Italy is such a place. The clean exterior lines are accentuated by ivy that covers the house. The crystal clear glass reflects the beautiful surroundings in such a way that it winds up looking like mirrors. Venture inside and you find beautiful stone and wood floors and steel touches. Everything works so well together and creates a comfortable and sophisticated home. Well done, Zanon Architetti Associati!

Situated in central Italy, not far from Tuscany, this farmhouse has the most beautiful surroundings but the inside of the home is quite fabulous as well. Interior designer, Eric Egan, took one year to makeover this 10,000 square foot 17th century abode. Full of antiques, modern pieces, rustic, earthy touches and statement accents, the home is has an refined, luxurious ease. And.... Did I mention the gorgeous outdoors?! Love it.

Elle Decor features some of the most beautiful homes and the Puglia vacation home of designer, Liza Bruce, is definitely one of those homes! A background of white allows all the vibrant colors, gorgeous fabrics, prints and Mediterranean inspired decor to take center stage. Each and every room has such a simple and relaxed look and the veranda is just spectacular.
