Well, fixed lower window elements actually do not suit a house in the Mediterranean style. These should be floor-to-ceiling (i.e. patio doors) and open with two leaves.
However, the rooms should be sufficiently large so that the sofa set can also possibly stand in the middle of the room.
I speak from experience, I planned and built such a house for myself (see attachment).
Wood in outdoor areas is always very maintenance-intensive and in higher locations sometimes only accessible with scaffolding, always keep that in mind.
Regarding the color design, just take a look in an appropriate holiday home catalog. There are plenty of inspirations.
But generally, ochre-red shades, like terracotta, "cooked or burnt earth" for the facade, white windows (I have) or brown to dark brown. The roof with red to light red hollow tiles, "Monk and Nun" would be original, but it is complex, heavy and quite expensive.
If a ventilation system is to be planned, why not combined with the heating. Have you ever considered a warm air recirculation heating system? This combines both, heating and controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery, and if needed also the air conditioning. Radiators are not necessary here either, but possible, e.g. towel radiators in the bathroom.
Best regards
