“A home away from home!”
Felt like our own apartment… had everything to cook and make tea and coffee. Was super clean and had 2 balconies (apartment for 4-6 persons). We just loved it here. In the morning and throughout the day you could hear the birdies… otherwise quiet. We would love to stay here again some day, when in PS.

“Wonderful place”
Lovely small hotel that feels very family run, the 2 bed apartment we had was large, with 2 full bathrooms, 2 balconies, with views of the mountains. Staff lovely and helpful, pool clean and spa hot! Location is great just at the end of the main street and walking distance to some coffee places, restaurants and few useful small shops.

There was no breakfast. The unit of the air conditioning at the corridor between the two rooms was so noisy that we could not sleep at night. Also the internet was down

Relaxing Getaway in Palm Springs We had a wonderful time at the Desert Vacation Villa! The property was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The atmosphere was peaceful and private—perfect for unwinding. The villa was beautifully maintained, and we especially enjoyed the outdoor area with the pool and stunning mountain views. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location was also great—just a short drive to downtown Palm Springs, restaurants, and shops. Communication with the hosts was smooth and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. We’d definitely love to come back for another stay!
