This comfortable villa is perfect for extended families and large groups of friends looking for a fun-filled escape in the Californian sunshine. You’ll certainly want for nothing here – while away the hours topping up your tan in the private back garden before plunging into the pristine pool to cool off, or relax your muscles with a dip in the hot tub. Indoors, an open-plan island kitchen, equipped with marble countertops and turquoise breakfast bar stools, is ideal for whipping up a round of snacks and mojitos to enjoy around the outdoor firepit. A fully equipped games room will keep you thoroughly entertained, with poker, table tennis, foosball and pool tables included. The home is situated in a tranquil neighbourhood close to the glitzy city of La Quinta and the picturesque Coachella Valley. If you're a festival-goer or golf-lover, you'll be pleased to find it’s less than five miles from PGA West Golf Course, and the Empire Polo Club – home to the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals – is just two miles away. You can also drive to downtown La Quinta in around fifteen minutes, or head into Joshua Tree National Park for a hike.
