Information about this villa rental in Palm Springs

Relax at Villa Altamira, a classic Roman villa in the Movie Colony-- Palm Springs' most exclusive celebrity area. These estates are rare and unlike most other homes, because they weren't built to be like most other homes. They were for Hollywood celebrities who came to the desert oasis to rest, relax, and recuperate with other celebs, all in complete privacy. Very few are open to the public. At Villa Altamira you can enjoy the ambiance of Palm Springs, stunning views of the mountains, the citrus orchard, and clear star filled evenings. Villa Altamira is so close to all the downtown attractions you can walk to the spas, shops, casino, and nightclubs. Bring your entourage! The Villa is also convenient for trips into nature, including the desert, oasis, canyon, and stunning mountains. So whether your vacation ideal is activities like biking, horseback riding, and mountain climbing, or simply relaxing by a pool with a cool drink, Villa Altamira is your ideal home base.

Notes: The villa is completely walled and private. This is great for the celebrities who have stayed here (ie. no paparrazzi), and its also good for families with kids-- the kids can run around outside and you don't have to worry about them wandering off. And while it is in an exclusive estates area called the Movie Colony, it is not a 'gated community' -- ie. It has street access. It is walkable to downtown shops as well as nearby tennis courts.
