In the La Quinta Cove neighbourhood, this Palm Springs home is surrounded by mountain trails, sprawling golf courses, and shops and restaurants. The San Jacinta Mountains loom as a rugged backdrop to the villa. A walled backyard offers a bit of privacy so you can swim laps in the pool or soak in the Jacuzzi in peace. Inside it feels boho chic with a hint of mid-century quirk. The living room is set around a fireplace and dotted with houseplants and curated trinkets. A second, less formal, seating area is set up by the big TV, perfect for a movie night. The kitchen has plenty of prep space, thanks to a granite island that doubles as a breakfast bar. If you don’t feel like cooking, it’s a five-minute drive to La Quinta Old Town where a healthy crop of restaurants, bakeries and cafés will see you through the day.
