April Showers
Zero to a Hundred
Coachella Valley may well come to the world's attention across two weekends in April, but there are plenty of reasons to visit during the rest of the year — one of which is to stay in this spectacular farmhouse-style villa.Given the region's glorious climate, this is an address that makes it easy to spend as much time outdoors as possible. The heated saltwater swimming pool in the middle of the garden features a circular bar and a separate spa pool.

It’s easy to see why you’d feel like you’re living the Hollywood life here, especially given the sheer scale of each room.

Constantly confronted with scenic mountain views, this home and its surrounding area is an oasis. Relax and reconnect in the private saltwater pool before dining alfresco. *There’s free parking for on th...
The interior of Roja is a celebration of Spanish Revival design with a bright colour scheme and hand-crafted furnishings. The meet and greet service on arrival adds a personal touch as you're walked through the villa. The sun-filled living room with its classic, Spanish arched window has glass doors, sliding away to blend indoors with outdoors. A mezzanine balcony above the huge seating area provides a cosy reading nook. Mix up a cocktail at the classy bar and take it out to the lavish pool area where loungers look to the mountains. The sprawling ground house a tennis court, expanse of lawn and an orchard where you can pick fresh figs, oranges and grape fruits. Take your haul back the to the grand yet country-style kitchen with its beautiful wooden islands. Or, head to the brunch spots of El Paseo, just 5-minutes away. *There is a loft area that can sleep an additional 3 people, but it is only suitable for children* Unfortunately, gues...
