This stunning West Hollywood house is where memories are made. Fifty-foot ficus trees border the garden, proving shade and privacy, so you can lounge by the pool or take a dip in the Jacuzzi in peace. To the side of the house, an outdoor eating area awaits with dining for eight, a gas grill and sofas set around a firepit. The main villa is a haven of calm, with soft whites and greys letting the California sun take pride of place. The lounge is all class in slate grey velvet and silver trim. Bedrooms feature low, Japanese-style beds and the master has its own fireplace for chilly nights. One of the bedrooms is in a separate guesthouse for those of the group that want a little extra privacy.
