Stradella Skies

Perched on nearly two private acres in Bel Air, this estate delivers the kind of views that make a strong case for never leaving – city, ocean, canyon, and mountain panoramas visible from nearly every room, including the main bedroom where you wake to them each morning. Outside, a resort-style pool and spa sit within landscaped grounds alongside an outdoor kitchen and multiple terraces built for long alfresco evenings. A detached casita adds flexibility, while Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip are all close at hand when the mood for city life strikes.

Home truths:
* While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* This home is currently listed for sale, so your host may occasionally need access for viewings during your stay. You'll receive at least twenty-four hours' notice, and your host will work with you to find a convenient time.
* The casita is detached from the main house, so guests staying there will be stepping outside to move between the two buildings – something to factor in when assigning rooms to your group.
* You'll need a car to make the most of your stay – the estate is set in a residential Bel Air enclave, and the restaurants, shops, and entertainment of Beverly Hills and the Sunset Strip are a drive away. On the plus side, there's a three-car garage and a private motor court, so parking at the home itself is never an issue.
