In recent years, there has been a growing trend of buying old houses to restore them without compromising the rustic style that characterizes them. In various structures, entire walls and areas of the house are made with stone, and this characteristic attracts many people. But why? Is it simply a desire for tradition and more classic lines?
In reality, stone villas have several advantages starting from greater comfort, as this material ensures coolness in summer and warmth in winter. It indeed produces a thermal inversion. Secondly, stone is soundproof: it ensures a certain level of intimacy and, above all, isolates from external noises, which can be annoying if the villa is located in a busy area. Additionally, the natural material is fireproof, insect-proof, resistant to parasites and oxidation; it requires little maintenance and is durable over time. Finally, given the low demand for construction, stone is economical.
