Set right in Old Las Palmas town, this remodelled 1930s bungalow is within walking distance of some of the area's most famous eateries and just a five-minute drive from Downtown Palm Springs. Built in a classic Spanish style, it's set on an oversized corner plot and boasts a charming walled garden. Lovingly modernised in recent years but retaining its old-world character, the home features terracotta tiled floors, beamed ceilings and all-white walls. We love the living room with its arched fireplace and stylish furniture, and the bar area in the sun room. Double doors open out to the beautiful pool and terrace, where you can swim or laze in the hot tub to your heart's content. Cook in the fully kitted-out kitchen and serve meals outside with views of the surrounding palm trees and mountain tops.
