With a pool area that looks like it came straight out of a David Hockney painting, this sprawling villa nestled amongst lush vegetation in Beverly Hills is a peace seeker's dream. With both the area around the pool and a terrace on the first floor with a fire pit, it's easy to break off into smaller groups here – perfect for multiple generations holidaying together. Inside, the home is sleek with plenty of space – just what you'd expect in one of the world's most exclusive neighbourhoods. And although we wouldn't blame you for staying at home, you'll find the bars of the Sunset Strip and the Rodeo Driving shopping mall nearby.

Home truths:
*While several of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Up to two small dogs are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
