Italian House Plans

An Italian house plan is perfect for those that dream of living in an Italian villa surrounded by a countryside vineyard or farm. Inviting elements of design include low-pitched clay tile rooftops, creamy stucco, stone or brick walls, arched windows and doorways, exposed beams, and cotto floors. French doors often provide access to an outdoor loggia or balcony, bringing the residents closer to nature. Food, family and entertaining is at the heart of Italian culture, so kitchens are spacious enough to accommodate those high end appliances to satisfy the most serious host. These homes may also be classified as Tuscan or Mediterranean depending on various features.
