Retreating to Palm Springs for a few days or even weeks on end is a dream some have, others live. Cuddled up at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains in the city’s sought-after Mesa neighborhood, this 3,000 square feet property can be rented and enjoyed as if yours for the duration of your trip. El Portal in Palm Springs, California, welcomes guests within a gated ¼ acre lot where freedom takes modern shapes.
Combining bohemian chic inspiration with sleek design lines that evoke their contemporary background, this soothing, bright and open cluster of indoor and outdoor spaces that flow from one into another bring the much needed relaxation we need:
“The front pedestrian gate opens onto the large front courtyard, with carefully planned desert scape highlighted by a concrete block drive and expansive green space to the left. Directly ahead a large vestibule leads to the homes’ main entrance and pool patio set beyond. Multiple large glass pivot doors provide seamless integration of indoor/outdoor living opening from the expansive Great Room onto the pool patio.”
Overlooking panoramas of the mountains to the west and capturing shy views of the Coachella Valley below, the vibrant Palm Springs retreat welcomes its guests in an awe-inspiring setting. From this free-flowing space, you can admire uninterrupted views through two-stories high clerestory windows while light floods the pristine spaces as you were experiencing a dream. At night, the large gas fireplace flaunting a white statuary marble hearth warms the atmosphere while the 70” flat screen TV above the fireplace offers modern entertainment.
While the downstairs space benefit from large expanses of glass, the four beautiful bedrooms are decorated with horizontal windows that mix in some dramatic outdoor colors, refreshing these private spaces.
A chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances provides everything necesarry for you to impress your guests with culinary creativity. There is also a breakfast bar seating three people, a formal dining area for up to eight persons and an outdoor dining area with al-fresco dining, gas BBQ and food prep area. After a great meal, you can lounge around the in-ground saltwater pool and enjoy the spa before heading out to explore the surroundings.
