This is a nice place to stay near the polo grounds in Indio. The place is lovely and spacious. The hosts were friendly. This house is located in a neighborhood with an HOA and that makes things a little onerous. The host made it very clear that a complete guest list was needed in advance of the stay and that no one other than the people on the list would be able to enter. This makes things a little tricky with festival trips as plans can change at the last minute. The host was reasonably flexible and allowed us to submit our final guest list ~2 weeks before the stay. The HOA is also extremely strict about street parking. There are only 4 spots available to park and absolutely now street parking (although there are plenty of places to park on the street). We had one car too many cars and the host quickly caller a neighbor to arrange for an additional spot for our party a few doors down. Generally, the place is nice, the hosts were friendly and accommodating, but the HOA generated some headaches.

The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, spacious and fully stocked with every conceivable item you’d possibly need. And the pool area!! Beyond beautiful! There was not a single thing I would change! Oh, and I cannot forget the hosts Michele and Dominique: they were simply wonderful, ensuring everything, from booking through departure was stress free. Thank you so much! We’ll be back!!

What a treat! We just returned from a stay at Tranquility Tuscan Estate while attending a wedding in the area with friends. It is spacious and beautifully decorated, yet comfortable and private. The two living rooms, dining areas and media room/great room allowed us to hang out as a group or find a quiet spot to relax. It is immaculately kept and extremely well maintained. The many sets of french doors offered a wonderful flow between the formal dining room and piano room (the contemporary living room), master bedroom or great room and kitchen area to the pool, spa, and multiple outdoor entertaining spaces. We spent time in the evenings having a glass of wine and hanging out around the contemporary poolside fire pit watching the sun set and enjoying the pool’s many waterfalls and hot tub and of course, the beautiful Santa Rosa Mountains. In the mornings the large kitchen was the spot to gather, cook, and plan the day’s events over a cup of coffee. It truly boasts everything you need for cooking and entertaining, and we enjoyed having a friends over for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and a barbecue…. Entertaining in this magnificent home is truly effortless. Each bedroom and en suite bath has luxury linens, towels and bath soaps, lotions and bath gels, shampoos and conditioners. How thoughtful! We felt as though we were at a Resort, with all the special touches. The separate living room and bedroom with fireplace and another fully equipped kitchen (as well as more outdoor patios overlooking pool with another firepit as well) in the deluxe separate casita was a great bonus! This home is “THE PLACE” and a dream for just unwinding, entertaining and enjoying the tranquil desert surroundings. The layout is spacious and open. Between the beautiful indoor and outdoor surroundings and the media room/great room with dreamy, comfortable sectional, fireplace and huge TV, there is a place for everyone to enjoy. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with and she went out of her way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. She even stocked our favorite beverages prior to arrival! We highly recommend a stay at the Tranquility Tuscan Estate! You really DO want to stay here and just UNWIND… after a long day of golf, or tennis or whatever…. This place recharges the soul and is a luxury get-away in every way!

We enjoyed a special time at this luxurious property over New Years Weekend. From the moment we walked in the door we were Wow'd by everything from the beautiful furnishings to the magnificent backyard Oasis that awaited us... Firepits, colored lights in the pool and hot tub, lush lawn for bocce ball and playing catch, the literally tropical paradise with amazing landscaping to even the wine and cheese gift basket awaiting us to enjoy. Such thoughtful touches impressed me, like spa shampoos, soaps, lotions and scrubs in the bathrooms and gourmet coffees and teas to choose from in the pantry. Michele made this a true home away from home for us and for our vacation. The property itself is stellar, with mountain views and really no neighbor next to or behind, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves by the firepit at night under the stars and also loved lounging and relaxing in the hot tub in the chilly evenings. What a very special property. Michele, for giving us such great recommendations for hiking, biking and even the suggestions for your favorite restaurants around town! We enjoyed Lavender Bistro immensely and taking a stroll down El Paseo and eating Brunch at Wilma and Freidas.... it was a special time. Thank you again, we can't wait to come back and enjoy this desert paradise!!

We had the best vacation at this relaxing Oasis in the Desert for New Years Week. Such a beautiful property with amazing mountain views and literally a tropical Resort in the lushly landscaped backyard. We relaxed around the firepit, and enjoyed the evenings soaking in the hot tub, watching the colored lights change under the stars in the evening! We also enjoyed the comfortable beds and the bathrooms were stocked with all sorts of Spa products, such a treat ! What made it truly special is the time Michelle took with us, treating us like VIPs and always available for any question -- from the wine and gift items at check-in and recommendations for biking, hiking trails and even favorite restaurants. This lovely property is a true home away from home and we were lucky enough to have such a gracious host who cared about every detail of our stay. The house is beautifully furnished with designer furnishings, and it is truly a magnificent property that Wows you when you walk in the front door. It is impeccably clean and well-maintained, unlike most rental properties and we were impressed with the attention to detail, down to the comfortable beds, and luxury linens. The Estate had so many different outdoor areas to relax and unwind, with colorful tropically landscaped plants and a lush lawn for playing bocce ball and playing catch. We cannot wait to return for our next trip! Thank you Michelle for making it such a magical time for us at your special place....!

We all had a great time and enjoyed the pool and hot tub and great room, its located next to everything and Michele was wonderful and very helpful with many little tips that made our trip even more memorable!! Can't wait till next years trip. Bob

My family and I visited for my Birthday. The trip was paramount to me as it was the first time I had an opportunity to have all my children, their spouses, and their children in the same place at once. Thank goodness I found my way to Michele and her beautiful property! From our first conversation, she made it her personal mission to ensure we had all we needed to make my celebration fantastic. When I opened the link to the Villa, the home seemed to have absolutely EVERYTHING we were hoping for. There was comfortable sleeping for all 13 of us, plenty of bathrooms, 2 well-appointed family rooms, an outstandingly equipped kitchen, and indoor and outdoor family dining areas. With its truly fabulous pool, lovely shared and private patios and (drum roll please) a price that made it PERFECT, I jumped on it. To say the Villa, and our stay exceeded all of our expectations would be a monumental understatement! From the brilliant blooms out front, on through the peaceful courtyard, and into the blissfully well cooled and beautifully decorated main house my joy mounted until I was fairly squealing as I ran from room to room matching each to its description. And, there on the Kitchen counter, was a bouquet of flowers, thoughtfully chosen beverages and a card wishing me Happy Birthday, I was actually choking up by the time I made it out to the utterly stunning pool and grounds of the backyard. I was delighted to note the promised plethora of lounges, chairs, and most importantly full-size umbrellas considerately gathered from throughout the property and thoughtfully placed to create a generous shaded area (a special request due to prior skin cancer that made it possible for everyone to enjoy the pool). It wasn't until the others arrived that I realized I hadn't even seen the Casitas’s. We had EVEN MORE WONDERFUL SPACE to spread out in! The kids, big (mine) and little (their’s) were in the pool before the bags were unpacked, The was fired up and the beach towels, floats, and pool toys retrieved and put to service. As I stood looking out at my beloved family happily catching up on each other's lives and passing tiny babies and giggling toddlers around for hellos I sent a Thank you up for an honest and obviously conscientious owner and what had already been coined by all “the best family vacation ever”! P.S. Ask for the waterfalls, such ambiance, tres chic. Seriously, everything was PERFECT!

This beautiful house is absolutely wonderful and put together with a truly wonderful design and lots of character and the furnishings and décor are "in- style" and very luxurious. Michele really made everything about our stay easy and convenient from our initial conversation to the booking process. Stepping into this lovely house you can really tell Michele put an incredible amount of love and inspiration into decorating the house as well as the beautifully landscaped gardens, pool and hot tub area which is by the way, FANTASTIC, and just every detail about the many outdoor areas to relax and enjoy this special property.. There are so many vacation rental houses I've stayed at that are managed by rental agencies and many are cheaply put together, without a true sense of style and tacky, impersonal decor. Michele and her husband have really thought of everything and the Estate feels like a warm, inviting home and yet has everything you need for a special get away. That really sets this house in a class of its own. Its a truly remarkable property, one of the nicest we have ever had the opportunity to stay at! This is a special property, a true home away from home, run by warm, caring and real people who are empathetic and accommodating. The floor plan is great for large groups as the bedrooms are spread out on different ends of the Main House and then there are more in the guesthouses which are completely separate. What a great design! The location is beyond wonderful The gated community is very upscale and clean, and it was set apart from some of the other properties so it is very private too. It's a magnificent house and we had a special time. Thank you Michelle!!
