The iconic house of The Notebook : the treasure of Wadmalaw, South Carolina

"A white house with blue shutters. A room with a view to paint. An old-fashioned veranda where you could drink tea at sunset." There are the words with which young Allie unveils the house of her dreams to her first love, Noah, in Nicolas Sparks’ book The Notebook . Like a promise engraved in stone, to never give up on each other.

To bring Allie’s dream to life, the film crews went in search of the perfect home for the film adaptation of the famous novel. And they found it on Island, not far from Charleston , in South Carolina. Built in a traditional Southern style, the house is characterised by its white facade, large windows overlooking the lake and remarkable dimensions. Its architecture reflects the rustic beauty and serenity of the region, providing the perfect backdrop for the tumultuous romance portrayed in the film.

Throughout the film, spectators witness the evolution of the house, reflecting the changing relationship between Allie and Noah. Undeniable proof of Noah’s love and devotion to Allie, the house seems to be a protagonist in its own right in The Notebook , and the film adaptation in 2004 makes it one of the most romantic locations ever .

An unforgettable visit during your stay in Charleston

Although the house is now privately owned, its exteriors are open to visitors, allowing them to soak up the special atmosphere that made the film such a success.

Visitors can explore the gardens and admire the structure from the outside, while taking photos of the places that were the scene of so many emotions. Beautiful surrounding landscapes, including majestic cypress trees and placid lakes, add to the experience, allowing fans to step, for a moment, into the shoes of Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun.
