*Allows Pets: We allow up to 2 small dogs to stay at the property for a fee. Please check out our pet policy for more details and message us with any questions.

Built in 1937, Villa Verde is a classic Spanish-style estate, recently remodeled with a colorful Palm Springs-inspired aesthetic. It grants you all the modern amenities you desire, while staying faithful to this magnificent property’s art deco era.
Offering 5 luxurious bedrooms with en-suites, the home is situated within its own private 3/4 acre grounds, and is rumored to have been the regular retreat for Hollywood legend Bette Davis, whose picture graces the bar in homage to this famous guest.

Enter through the tall iron gates and high manicured hedge of Villa Verde, and you’ll be immediately immersed in the classic Hollywood style of this estate and its impressively sized front yard, complete with its own pergola. As you head towards the bright green front door and enter, the drama builds with the entrance introducing you to the majesty of a bygone era, cleverly updated with a timeless Palm Springs twist.

Here you’ll find the elegant deco-style “Bette’s Bar”, a walk-in bar that pays tribute to the aforementioned guest Bette Davis. Pull up a stool, enjoy a welcome drink, or simply lounge around, and play a game or two of pool on the green felt table, or listen to music on the old school record player that also works via bluetooth to stream your favorite playlists.

As you pass the bar you will enter the fully-stocked Spanish-style kitchen, featuring double sink, large stainless steel fridge, coffee station with both drip and espresso coffee makers, plus electric kettle for the tea drinker. The adjacent breakfast nook provides seating for six in the morning, or somewhere else to wait for your shot on the pool table at night. There’s also a very bright and fun guest powder room just off the kitchen as well.

Beyond the kitchen, the light-filled lounge and dining areas open up to magnificent views through to the covered patio via the multiple floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. The large and comfortable L-shaped sofa and swivel chairs can accommodate everyone who wants to take in what’s playing on the giant flat-screen TV. The adjacent traditional-style dining area provides an extendable table and luxurious yellow velvet seating for ten, so start planning that sophisticated Spanish dinner party!

Outside in the courtyard, you’ll find a comfortable conversation area, an outdoor kitchen complete with fridge, grill and stool seating, plus additional outdoor dining for twelve. This is all placed around the ornate fountain that has been transformed into a desert-inspired colorful succulent planter.

Beyond the patio, the luxury and tranquility continues… To the right is the koi pond with waterfall, complete with 10 large koi fish of multiple hues. To the left you’ll find the citrus grove and the Casita, which has a bathroom, kitchenette and queen bed, as well as a private patio where you`ll find a table tennis ready for playing.

Further on is the giant chess set, just near the entrance to the 1930s-style fully-tiled and heated swimming pool. With its classic black and white pattern, paired with the green and white striped awnings and cabana, it will transport you back to the the elegance and luxury of yesteryear and old Hollywood.

Ample sun lounges and shade umbrellas add to the ambience, and provide a perfect place to work on that desert tan. Meanwhile, the striped cabana at the far end of the pool provides shade for the hot tub as well as additional table seating near the neon sign that’s perfect to capture that photo worthy moment.

Around the pool is also where you’ll find the gazebo with its tropical flavor. It grants more covered seating with its comfortable lounges, set around the gas firepit for those chillier desert nights.

The extensive back yard with its magnificent mountain views and brand new 50ft bocce court provides plenty of space for lawn games like corn hole and badminton while a gym room complete with equipment means you don’t have to miss a work out!

Meanwhile, for accommodations, Villa Verde gives you five suites to choose from, each with direct bathroom access. All rooms have a closet, dresser, TV, shutters and easily accessible charging ports on each side table. Provided in each bathroom are towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, hair dryer, makeup towels and makeup wipes, everything you`ll need so you can pack a little lighter and feel at home. Each room was thoughtfully designed to compliment the Spanish style of the home and incorporate that Old Hollywood/Palm Springs style while not sacrificing on comfort.

One of the most unique and fabulous vacation homes in the desert, Villa Verde is definitely the place to make all your friends “green” with envy!

1.3 GOOD NEIGHBOR LAWS – CITY OF PALM SPRINGS
All guests must comply with the County of Riverside transient rental rules and restrictions. A Good Neighbor “brochure” will be provided to all guests and is also posted inside the home for your reference (see also link below). It is the responsibility of the primary renter/guest to ensure that all guests on your reservation are familiar with and obey the city’s good neighbor laws. All rules, including but not limited to, nuisance and noise restrictions, quiet hours, maximum occupancy (10 guests + 2 Children Under 12yrs old), parking (5 Cars Max), trash, etc., are strictly enforced by the city and county. The primary renter/guest will be responsible for any citations and fines resulting from violations. Complaints and violations may result in immediate eviction without refund to the guest.

We can provide a copy of the brochure once you have booked or you can find it on the City of Palm Springs website.

1.4 SOUND ORDINANCE (Refer further to the Good Neighbor Brochure linked above)
**STRICTLY ENFORCED BY THE CITY** The city does not allow outdoor music, and indoor music is not allowed to be audible at the property line. Neighboring residents have a 24hr HOTLINE available to them, to complain about noise, and the city will respond (usually resulting in fines to the guests). In addition, Quiet hours are 10pm to 7am (County Ordinance No 927). There should be no loud voices outside after 10pm, so gatherings after 10pm should remain inside the house.
