About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Mediterranean-modern estate with breathtaking views that sleeps 12
The two villa's sit on a 3 acre property with unobstructed views of the desert, mountain and golf courses.
This photographic 6 beds and 4 baths was original erected by a local estate builder and has been updated (2020) to a Mediterranean modern style that brings you to an Ibiza state-of-mind.
There are no next door neighbors and a plethora of entertainment and relaxation areas creatively scattered throughout the property. One will find endless opportunities to enjoy and maximize the resort-feel stay if it is enjoying an afternoon cocktail on the viewing deck, taking a swim in the heated sculptural pool, or cooking outside with a large group of friends on the night time-lit dining plateau.
This is one of the most unique properties Palm Desert has to offer and it will take the breath away from even the most well-traveled individuals.
COOKING
The kitchen is large and fully equipped to cook comfortably for large groups of people:
Fisher/Paykel Professional range stove, dishwasher, microwave and fridge/freezer
OUTDOOR & POOL / SPA
Both pool and spa is cleaned with minimally invasive chemicals. The pool pump is hidden in pool house so compound has no machine made noises for absolute tranquility. There are numerous areas for relaxation and socializing in the garden and park. Everything is lit for warm nights outside. Heating is an additional service/cost and cannot be guaranteed.
A sunning patio with chaise lounges.
Umbrella and chair goes directly into the pool for enjoying cocktails on hot days or just to an added layer of sun protection for children.
Pool nook for conversation or keeping an eye on your kids next to the pool.
Dining deck with desert, golf, and mountain views
Outdoor fire Fire place with city view Please note the neighborhood is ultra-quiet (Which is also the most amazing thing about this place). The city of Palm Desert does not allow outside music louder than what your phone can play. This also goes for loud voices outside (alcohol induced or not) any time day or night. People on this street likes the sound of coyotes killing bunnies, the stars and their pool pump so go figure ?
That said, if you are here to relax, enjoy quality time in the pool and indulge in long dinners with plenty of wine and great conversation, then this is your oasis.
There is a maximum of 12 people and 6 cars allowed on the property at any time.
There is the strict penalty system in Palm Desert that revokes our vacation home permit for 2 years if the police show up 3 times in a year. This has left us with no other option than to evict renters if the police show up at your door (within reason). If this unfortunate event were to happen it would mean you will be presented with a $500 citation ticket (from the city), loss of your security deposit and no refund of the remaining days you have the house rented (Yikes!).
So pllleeeaaaasse let’s not have that happen.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

Villa Leche is a treasure. The property is only a few minutes from the center of Palm Desert but the place feels like an isolated retreat in the hills. Kristen welcomed us warmly and the houses are impeccably designed and very private: if you squint, you'd think you were in a villa in Mallorca or Sardinia. Truly an exceptional place.

Great Palm Desert Home
We had a great stay at Villa Leche for an annual golf trip. The homes are modern and comfortable and the location was perfect for us. Secluded, but an easy drive to the shops and restaurants on El Paseo. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely Gorgeous
Property Manager met us on site, and walked us through the home. Everything was beautiful, and the kitchen was very well stocked with Plates, Pots, and all the kitchen gadgets you could want. The Beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of extra sheets, Pillows and Blankets. The Laundry room had detergent and the bathrooms had plenty of extra towels. We would definitely stay here again if work ever brings us this way again.
