We're big fans of this Palm Springs pad. The single-level layout is ideal for guests with limited mobility, while the pops of colour and mid-century touches compliment the otherwise simple design – we think it works well with the area's retro aesthetic. Out in the garden, a hot tub, terrace, and private pool embody laid-back Cali living. This isn’t a party house, but it works for older families or groups of friends wanting to relax in the desert sunshine. And should you be in the mood for a livelier atmosphere, make your way downtown (just 3 miles away) for restaurants, bars and boutiques.

Home truths:
