About this property

The Ricardo! Mid-century villa + saltwater pool + 5 minutes from downtown PS

The Ricardo mid-century modern vacation rental was once owned by a close friend of Lucille Ball and was Lucy's Palm Springs hideaway. Located near the once popular El Mirador hotel, The Ricardo is a 5-minute drive to downtown Palm Springs. With tall green hedges, amazing mountain views, and zero traffic noise, you can see why Lucy felt a strong sense of privacy and relaxation during her time at the property.

PLEASE NOTE that a city-required 12.5% occupancy tax on the nightly rate will be added to the reservation by VRBO payment request after booking. VRBO does not currently allow the tax to be added to a line item so this will be in addition to the total shown.
