Living with stone: Mediterranean materials that last

Living with stone: Mediterranean materials that last

Living with stone: Mediterranean materials that last

Travertine, limestone and local granite age beautifully in sun and salt air. A short guide to the materials we look for in a house.

The best Mediterranean homes are built from the landscape around them. Local stone keeps interiors cool in summer and holds warmth into the evening, and it only gets better with time.


What to look for


Honed rather than polished finishes, generous slab sizes and stone that continues from inside to out. These details are often the first sign of a house that was built to last.
