Palm Springs Villa Summary

Relax at Villa Altamira, a classic Roman villa in the Movie Colony-- Palm Springs' most exclusive celebrity area. These estates are rarely open to the public and unlike most other homes, because they weren't built to be like most other homes. They were for Hollywood celebrities who came to the desert oasis to rest, relax, and recuperate with other celebs, all in complete privacy. At Villa Altamira you can enjoy the ambiance of Palm Springs, stunning views of the mountains, the citrus orchard, and clear star filled evenings. Villa Altamira is so close to all the downtown attractions you can walk to the spas, shops, casino, and nightclubs. Bring your entourage! The Villa is also convenient for trips into nature, including the desert, oasis, canyon, and stunning mountains. So whether your vacation ideal is activities like biking, horseback riding, and mountain climbing, or simply relaxing by a pool with a cool drink, Villa Altamira is your ideal home base.

Palm Springs is known for its stunning mountains, warm desert climate year round, and as a playground for Hollywood stars. People come here to relax, enjoy the warm healthy environment, and to catch some sun.

Notes: The villa is completely walled and private. This is great for the celebrities who have stayed here (ie. no paparrazzi), and its also good for families with kids-- the kids can run around outside and you don't have to worry about them wandering off. And while it is in the exclusive estates area called the Movie Colony, it is not a 'gated community' -- ie. It has street access. It is walkable to downtown shops as well as nearby tennis courts.


Palm Springs Villa Details

Accommodations: The villa contains five bedrooms and can sleep groups of up to 11. In addition, the estate contains 5 bathrooms, a heated pool, billiards room, gourmet kitchen with catering pantry, great room with tumbled marble floors, imported Italian tile bathrooms, citrus orchard, and extensive landscaping under gigantic palm trees.

Winter and Spring Activities: Spring is high season in Palm Springs with many guests flocking to the warm desert for healthy and sunny activities. This includes tennis, hiking, mountain climbing, horseback riding, nighttime star gazing, day trips to Joshua Tree National Park and over 100 golf courses nearby. For those who wish to snow ski, there is also nearby skiing at Big Bear. Of course some vacations are all about relaxing, and the Villa is perfect for sipping drinks under the palm trees by the pool in the warm sun, thinking about those cold blizzards elsewhere.
