Location: Villa Portofino, Palm Desert, North, Palm Desert, Deserts, California, USA (5 minutes from Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage.)
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-5)
This beautiful new condominium is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Villa Portofino, a charming old-world Tuscan style gated community.
A spacious 1,610 square feet, it is constructed with meticulous attention to architectural design, using the highest quality materials. Comfort and elegance is key, with granite slab and travertine, fine woods and fabrics throughout.
Villa Porttofino is in the western section of Palm Desert, bordering on Rancho Mirage, and is conveniently central to some of our favorite shops and restaurants. Your home away from home is located less than one mile from Bristol Farms gourmet market place and Sherman's scrumptious delicatessen. Of course, the shopping mecca of Palm Springs is just a 5 minute drive up the road.
The Villa Portofino community revolves around the clubhouse, where friendliness and warmth prevail as residents enjoy aquatic classes, game nights, gourmet dining, an on-site theatre, and a host of planned activities. The Clubhouse is an easy 3 minute walk, yet when you close your own doors, you will enjoy a sense of quiet privacy and an easy flow from indoor to outdoor living via your spacious view patio.
Your lovingly maintained unit contains Berber carpet, high ceilings, arches and niches, ceiling fans, large walk-in closets, a wet bar with granite countertop in the living room, a spacious kitchen adjacent to a full dining room, maple shelving throughout, imported finishes, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, a washer and dryer for your exclusive use, sumptuous bathrooms with beveled mirrors, double sinks, and clear glass enclosures, and plenty of storage closets both inside and on your covered patio.
The furniture in this unit is quite lovely. We have paid great attention to interior decorating to impart a sense of luxury and elegance. The bed furnishings, linens, and towels are the same quality you would expect to find in a fine European boutique 5 Star Relais or Chateau.
We take great pride in our ownership of this property and it shows. We have prepared this get-away to please the most discriminating guests, and it reflects our own standard of living in Santa Barbara, where we live year-round.
This truly is desert living at its finest! For additional photographs of the Villa Portofino community and its clubhouse, please refer to the Villa Portofino website.
