We recently stayed for a month at Villa Chandolas and we had a wonderful experience. April is the consummate hostess who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived until we left. She was always attentive to our needs, super sweet, and available for help if we needed it. The house was exceptionally clean and well organized and the property is well maintained. We particularly loved the outdoor covered terrace with a lion-face fountain by the pool and the beautiful trees and plants. The location is also great and is close to El Paseo, leisure activities, and to the Living Desert. Overall, the property is exactly as described and it is perfect for a small family looking for an awesome escape to a tropical desert oasis. Thank you, April!

Loved our stay. Host is very responsive to any questions. Lots of privacy, great heated pool, and a great location with lots of character in Palm Desert. The property does show its age a little but things work and and we absolutely loved it. Hope to stay there in the future.

This is a lovely compact Casa with everything you need for an easy stay a short walk to El Paseo. The two well separated master bedrooms with comfortable king beds make this home perfect for two couples. There is a nice third bedroom as well for others. We enjoyed the completely private pool and courtyard and the quiet residential area - very walkable to shops, restaurants and services. Our host April is a dream to work with for easy, prompt communication. The home stays nice and cool with shade trees around the pool and back yard. Loads of windows and old world charm.

This is a charming home with a lovely pool area. The house has a European feel and it is fully fenced and landscaped to provide complete privacy. April, the owner, was very responsive and positive with every question I had. Can’t wait to go again next year.

My husband and I had the most amazing time at this property. This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. The house has a warmth and charm that makes you feel immediately at home. We feel we experienced something very special. And our host April is the best!

We enjoyed a wonderful month at Villa Chandolas, with our very friendly and efficient host, April, providing everything that we could possibly need for our stay. We loved the house and the pool and the location close to El Paseo was ideal. We look forward to coming back again soon! Dermot & Kit Hallaran

My wife and I rented the Villa Chandolas for the full month of April 2021. We then alternated hosting friends and family for week long stays. April graciously arranged for maid service between each group and provided bikes for our use. The house was perfect for this kind of retreat. The house has a large, well stocked kitchen, outdoor barbecue and a wonderful shaded patio for al fresco dining. The pool is perfect for kids (and adults) and there is plenty of poolside seating for supervision and relaxing. It’s hard to see from the photos, but there is a fence and gate which secures the patio/house area from the pool. If the gate is locked, children cannot wander from the house or patio to the pool area, which was reassuring. The living room has a surprisingly comfortable sofa which makes for a cozy TV watching experience at night. The bedrooms are perfectly sized and have more than adequate closet space and even enough space for a children’s crib. The neighborhood is quiet, and is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants on El Paseo. My wife and I loved the early morning mockingbird songs. We all had a wonderful time and we highly recommend this VRBO. Mike’s Tip: Checkout the Palm Desert Aquatic Center where you will find lap swimming, diving boards, water slides and children’s splash pool. Great fun and cheap! Michael & Allie

We could not asked for a better place to stay. Location was superb, loved the heated pool with a view of the mountains. Best of all was dealing with the owner April! She made everything better!
