Description Citrus & Desert Glass: Palm Springs

A 1962 desert house renovated with bold wallpaper, breezeblock accents, and designer tile, this Palm Springs villa wears its mid-century heritage with real confidence. Walls of glass open directly onto a quarter-acre yard where a private pool and hot tub sit against unobstructed views of the San Jacinto Mountains. A built-in barbecue island and outdoor dining for eight mean evenings outside are well catered for too. The Vista Norte neighbourhood keeps things quiet, with Palm Canyon Drive's restaurants and nightlife just minutes away.

Home truths:
* You'll need a car to make the most of the area. There is parking for four cars at the home.
* One of the four bedrooms has a breezeblock wall fitted with a privacy curtain rather than a solid partition, so sound carries more freely into that room.
* Your host may be able to provide a travel cot upon request.
