Let Them Eat Cake

Holiday Rental Description

With a Neoclassical frontage and the grandest of grand entrance halls, this magnificent home would have you believe you've been transported to Ancien Régime France. However, you're actually right in the middle of present-day Beverly Hills.

Sat proudly on its own in the middle of neatly manicured gardens, the remarkable property mixes together contemporary LA glamour with old-world, aristocratic splendour — all rounded off with a dash of modern art and whimsy. Inside, you'll be greeted by high ceilings, opulent bed frames, extravagant floor-length curtains, lavish ensuites and walk-in wardrobes. The huge kitchen has a wealth of sleek surface space and the formal dining room will add a sense of occasion to even the simplest of meals.

Elsewhere in the home, there's a gym so you can keep up with your fitness regime and a luscious screening room so you can enjoy movie nights in complete luxury. And of course, how could we forget the fabulous pool which you can lounge beside all day? Add in the adjoining Jacuzzi, plus a barbecue and an alfresco dining area, and you can see how countless hours will be passed in this pleasant space.

If the mood ever takes you, both Rodeo and North Beverly Drive are just fifteen minutes away by car, offering fine-dining restaurants and irresistible boutiques. There are plenty of hiking routes in Franklin Canyon Park, which sits the same amount of time away, while the galleries of The Getty are only twenty minutes' drive.
