In the heart of a residential neighbourhood at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, this sparking villa is a spectacular home with touches that resemble the safari lodges of East Africa. This Palm Springs home boasts stylish bathrooms, a saltwater pool overlooked by mountains, and a kitchen equipped with all the appliances you'll need. After a languorous day spent lounging in the hot desert air and a quick rinse in the outdoor shower, fix up a couple of piña coladas and challenge your party to a few rounds of pool or poker inside – it's the ideal space for filling those couple of hours in-between afternoon and evening activities or hosting a games night. At night, stargazing around the fire pit is a memorable experience in itself. Whether you're here for the hikes of desert living or to discover the eclectic dining and nightlife of Downtown Palm Springs (a five-minute drive away), this home is simply irresistible.
