Summer is synonymous with sunshine and the outdoors, with living life simply and in contact with nature. Gathering family and friends around the table, in meals that extend amid laughter and good spirits. Afternoons spent in the hammock, between reading and unhurried naps, a “dolce far niente” that only happens in summer.

 

Let Nature In

At simple and natural tables, where linen and organic cotton tablecloths flutter with warm summer breezes, in artisanal pottery with imperfect and unique shapes, in delicious appetizers and fresh salads served on wooden boards and bowls carved by wise and artistic hands, in artisanal baskets that hold rustic and flavorful bread…

In vases of fresh or preserved flowers, in terracotta pots with aromatic herbs… Simple details, yet essential in enchanting décor. On terraces and corners, true oases of tranquility and comfort, where suspended hammocks and oversized cushions make stays pleasant and prolonged, and where plants convey a sense of true naturalness.

 

Bamboo pots fit into Bohemian décor and hold cacti or plants with large green leaves with a tropical touch. Handmade clay pots embrace their rusticity by welcoming countryside plants, such as rosemary and wild rosemary, which release the aromas of the fields into the air (where they are found).
