Heading for Hollywood? Then stay at this Mediterranean villa in the trendy Los Feliz neighbourhood, known for its one-of-a-kind stores and historic Vista Theatre. Griffith Park is just next door, where you'll find the observatory, hiking trails and views of the famous Hollywood sign. When you’re not exploring, the villa offers peace and privacy, surrounded by mature trees with multiple outdoor dining and lounging areas so your party can spread out. Cool off from the California sun in the pool or sink into the bubbling Jacuzzi, set in its own sheltered oasis. You’ll fall in love with the villa’s quirky designs, from its ornate metal doorways and arched, floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows to its lavish dining room and colourful tiled bathrooms. Cook a family feast in the farmhouse kitchen and settle in for a blockbuster movie in the lounge, where there’s a fireplace for cooler evenings.
