Thanks to its sun-drenched landscape, rich history, enticing traditions and welcoming lifestyles, the Mediterranean continues to inspire beautiful design. Renowned architecture photographer Massimo Listri has captured an array of seductive images, from sweeping panoramas of the buildings in their glorious settings to close-ups of rooms, furniture and design details.

Ranging from a traditional, terracotta-roofed home with a big welcoming kitchen to cutting-edge contemporary design, these houses provide material for dreaming as well as a concrete source of inspiration.
