Use of pergolas in Dominican Republic Villas


Pergolas are garden overhead structures used to create a shaded area or walkway, with cross beams and open lattice usually supported by pillars in wood or stone. It is believed that the origin of the pergola started in Italy, though this structure can be seen in several Mediterranean countries since long ago. Even in ancient times, the pergolas were widely used by the Romans, to take advantage of shade and coolness, but also to guide their vines and allow the fruit to receive more sun.

Pergolas add a special touch to your villa, providing comfort, shade and a special spot to enjoy your home. Widely used by the Romans, There is no specific form for pergolas, they can be square, round, rectangular, octagonal, and we also decide the space, aesthetics and use of it. The circular arbors, which are covered with the typical roof of dried leaves of palm, straw or similar materials, assembled near the pools, give a tropical touch to the garden. Several Dominican Republic villas use pergolas as a decorative element that provides natural beauty and added functionality.
