Desert Courtyard, one of our Luxury Vacation Homes in Palm Springs, California

The home is located in a renowned gated community in Central Palm Springs. Chic - but designed with timeless good taste and elegant comfort in mind, this striking duel master unit will captivate your senses – within walled seclusion. The home sits amidst lush gardens and world-class amenities such as a sunken clay tennis court and stunning Olympic pool kept at a tantalizing 88 degrees year round. You are only a ten-minute walk from the village of Palm Springs and within a block of the Sinatra Twin Palms Estate. 

The stunning quartzite courtyard has the dreamy ambiance of a Balinese retreat. It contains an oversized hydro pool with therapy waterfall. All rooms in the villa look onto the courtyard, but with privacy from one another. The ideal place for that massage you’ve needed.  The interior is at once elegant and comfortable with floors of Angelica Gold travertine, deep sofas with clouds of down cushions, artful textiles paired with wonderful object and fine art – it both soothes and excites. The villa was taken “to the studs” in 2005 which resulted in a fresh and imaginative result. 

From everywhere in the open plan living space the large flat screen HDTV can be viewed – living, study and kitchen / dining area.  The intimate study has a desk and large sumptuous lounge chairs. The entire house is wireless with wire less printing and fax machine.  Suite I has a queen bed over looking the spa. The generous quartzite bathroom has a generous open shower with all fittings and fixtures by La Cava. The bedroom has a flat screen TV.  

Suite II has a king bed and also opens to the courtyard with views to the San Jacinto mountains. Swathed with Angelica Gold travertine, the bath opens fully to the bedroom with a Phillip Stark soaking tub, which looks through the room to the courtyard and mountains beyond. It also contains a vast walk in shower and all fittings and fixtures are by La Cava. The bedroom has a large TV with DVD housed in the antique Chinese armoire.  The eucalyptus, stainless steel and glass kitchen is a cooks dream. With all new Kitchen Aid pro appliances, it is open to the dining and living areas perfect for entertaining.
