Spanning over 4,619sqft, with five oversized bedrooms, six stylish bathrooms, two living rooms and two dining areas, this modern villa is perfectly set up for an endlessly relaxing stay with space and comfort at the forefront. It's ladened with all of the gadgets and state-of-the-art appliances needed for hosting and entertaining your guests – from a designer chef's kitchen and a floor-to-ceiling wine cellar to 20-foot ceilings and Control 4 built-in speakers throughout the house. The open-plan layout means you can cook for your group while socialising over a glass of your favourite tipple. Days begin by sipping your morning coffee in the comfort of an Acapulco chair while listening to the gentle breeze rustling through the tropical foliage and luscious trees. Swim a few leisurely lengths in the zero-edge heated pool, soak up the sun in the jacuzzi, or pick out a lounger to recline on. Back inside, you'll immediately notice the abundant natural light that floods in during the day, thanks to the sliding glass doors and super-high skylights. Head up the all-white Caesar stone staircase to your master suite bedroom, complete with its own lounge area, modern fireplace, private balcony and sumptuous bedding. After resisting a sneaky catnap and... a tempting bubble bath in the freestanding tub, we recommend exploring your surroundings from this prime location. Hop in your rental car and arrive at some of the city’s most iconic attractions in no time, including The Getty (thirteen minutes), Sunset Strip (twenty-three minutes), and Santa Monica beach (twenty-four minutes).

Local guide
About Encino
Infamous for its mention in Frank Zappa’s 1982 hit song “Valley Girl” lies the historic neighborhood of Encino – just to the north of Bel-Air and west of Sherman Oaks. Thought to be named after a 1000-year-old Oak tree, it is one of the oldest parts of the Valley. While quieter than other neighborhoods, it still boasts all the charm of LA. Shop and dine down the bustling area of Encino Commons or take a picnic to enjoy the California sun in Los Encinos State Park.
