About this villa rental
The City of Palm Springs ID #4543
TOT Permit #9302
An incredibly beautiful half acre gated compound situated in the Movie Colony Area of Palm Springs, California with spectacular mountain views. Incredible interior design and resort like landscaping, pool and hot tub by renowned designer, Barclay Butera. A waterfall spills from rock grotto to pool at this modern take on a hacienda in Palm Springs. Loungers surround the pool and hot tub, and stools wait at a bar-height fire pit and dining area. Glossy tile, star-shaped lights, and beamed ceilings have a traditional charm, but playful details like leopard print and metallic accents make interiors by Barclay Butera feel fresh and It’s minutes from downtown. Staying at this Villa is truly an experience you will treasure and never forget.

Amazing time from the minute we stepped through the door. Great location to town and a very quiet sanctuary.

Spent Christmas poolside at this Oasis. Family joined us for a few nights, and everyone had their own ensuites which are spread out perfect for extended family. The house had a fabulous layout and comfortable bedding. Loved the fireplaces and designer furnishings. The property manager was super friendly and accommodating and even offered to buy us a Christmas tree. The kitchen had high end appliances, but I struggled with the basic inventory of tools and serving dishes. (I had to go out a buy several things on Christmas Eve). This property has impeccable views and manicured landscape, the side yard was filled with mature citrus trees with succulent oranges and lemons. Overall, this is an amazing one-of-a-kind property, and we can't to go back.

We had a great stay. There was a minor hiccup at the beginning that the responsive property manager, David, handled adroitly. This is a rare instance where the photos (which are great by themselves) don't fully capture how comfortable and gracious the house is. I like to read, and there were 5 or 6 places where I could settle in and read comfortably and with more than adequate lighting. And the outdoor pool area is just wonderful. We hope to return.

In person, the home and grounds are even lovelier than the pictures! The layout is perfect for couples, as each bedroom has an en-suite bath and personal patios. David, the property manager provided us with exceptional service; great communication; and accommodated our every need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful Property
We had an amazing time at Villa Butera. The grounds and the house are lovely, everything is well appointed. The beds and linens are super comfortable. You cannot go wrong with any of the rooms.
We did have a few issues that were dealt with promptly.
The 2 pieces of constructive feedback that I have about the property is that because it is so well appointed we did have to do a lot of juggling of moving things around to accommodate all of our items in the kitchen and common areas. The pool is lovely and has a wonderful waterfall feature. Unfortunately, that feature is only on for a couple of hours between 3:30 and 5:30. All of us wished that it could be on during the day when we were actually using the pool.
Other than that, all of the guests had a great time and enjoyed the amenities of Villa Butera.

Had a great stay here. Kenny the property manager was helpful and responsive. Overall, fantastic spot to sit by the pool and be outside. The property alarm beeps constantly, one thing to note. Can make you crazy with a house full of people coming and going! Ask how to disable that feature when checking in.

Out of a magazine
The house was exactly as advertised. Every room looked like it came out of decorating magazine. The only negative was the hot tub was a little bit of a challenge to get into too based upon its design. That being said the pool and spa area was beautiful as were the outdoor surroundings..

Fairytale Oasis Fit for Royalty
I don't think I even have enough space to write all the glowing reviews I have for Villa Butera. I've been coming to Palm Springs since I was a child- staying in condos, boutique hotels, personal homes and nice Vrbo rental properties. Clearly, I didn't understand what a Palm Springs vacation could be... because once setting foot on the grounds of Villa Butera, I could never imagine wanting to stay ANYWHERE else.
This pool is exquisite. While it looks stunning in the photos, they still somehow don't capture how meticulously it's designed. The shape and dimensions, the caliber of the concrete and stonework, the serenity of the waterfall, the perfect placement of the hot tub, along with ideal, lush landscaping that allows for the exact right amount of shade and direct sunlight... all of those elements make this *the* most remarkable residential swimming pool. We spent a majority of our time outdoors; lounging in the plush and cheery furniture, eating outside on the back patio table with heat lamps, or drinking coffee in our master bedroom adjacent rocking chairs on the private patio.
That being said- for the time we did spend indoors we were ensconced in luxurious, fun, tasteful furnishings, sumptuous beds & textiles, and a perfectly appointed kitchen. Also, something that wasn't really discussed in the Vrbo description but ended up being a HUGE and surprising highlight for us; one of the most compelling, erudite and beautifully curated coffee book collections we've ever encountered. We all spent our evenings discovering new photographers, artists, and designers and drinking in all of the collections' eye candy. It was a real aesthetic treat.
Kenny was the consummate host and property manager- his communications leading up to our visit were always prompt, helpful, and comprehensive. Upon our arrival Kenny greeted us and provided a lovely Welcome Basket from 'On The Mark', Palm Springs' gourmet market. It was such a thoughtful gesture and the items were delicious; just what was needed to start happy hour! Kenny's sense of humor and dry wit really came through in person, and we felt like his welcome tour of the home was an added amenity- not just business as usual. He also provided excellent recommendations for a local concierge service who helped make arrangements for us prior to our arrival. His recommendation was a lovely, professional, and incredibly accommodating person, who enhanced the overall trip.
I'd give 50 stars, if I could.

I cannot say enough about this house! The pictures do not do it justice. Kenny, the property manager, is great and always available for any question. Although just a couple of miles away from the house, it is amazingly quiet and private. My partner and I are looking forward to coming back. As a matter of fact, I have already booked the dates! I think that says it all.

This property was exquisite and perfectly manicured. As an interior designer myself, I was very impressed with the overall design and beauty of the home. The check in process was straight forward and Kenny greeted my parents to explain the property rules and provided a thoughtful gift basket. The beds were extremely comfortable and the sheets were so nice I ended up purchasing them when I got home! The property is very private and quiet and each room is large. Highly recommend for a family gathering. Lastly, the property is in a great location and short drive to downtown. We had an amazing stay!

Palm Springs Paradise & Charm
The property was just ad advertised. It had more than you could ask for. Our favorite part was the mature landscape. There were so many places to escape and relax. We were there for 3 days and only ate out once because we never wanted to leave.

This home is nothing short of spectacular! It far exceeded our expectations. The pictures are only a small glimpse of what this home has to offer. The artwork, the books, the decorating are over the top perfection. The indoor space is immaculate, and the outdoor space is simply heavenly! We spent our entire girls' weekend at the house and in the pool. We only left for evening dinners. It was close to local amenities and Kenny was spot on for all recommendations for dinner. We will be returning guests!

Perfection!
This home , its decor and the outdoor space are exceptional. Butera's brand is high-end design but he does it with high comfort as well. We spent a lot of time at the property, combining a little vacation with Zoom-work. We opened the doors of every room, enjoyed that indoor-outdoor living that is so great about Palm Springs.
We had friends join us for a lot of our two weeks at the property. The layout is terrific for guests. There is a lot of great outdoor and indoor seating. We cooked at home quite a bit, the kitchen is very well appointed. The tech (TV's and wifi) are all working and easy to use, thanks to a very attentive property manager.
100% sure we will try to come back, sort of reluctant to share the intel of this special home!

This property is pristine and luxuriously appointed. Kenny, the manager, met us upon arrival. He walked us through the property, which was very helpful. We've rented several homes via VRBO and Villa Butera well-deserves five stars. Highly recommended!
