About this property

Welcome to ‘Villa Chandolas.’ Completely private, romantic, and walled in; this enchanting oasis located in the highly desirable area of South Palm Desert hides behind palm trees and high hedges. Walking distance from the shops, art galleries, and restaurants of gorgeous El Paseo.
Behind the gate, the exquisite swimming pool surrounded by lush vegetation, honed Saltillo tiles, tiled water fountains and wrought iron railings create a romantic and soothing atmosphere. Although ‘Villa Chandolas’ is a stone’s throw to the best shopping, restaurants, tennis and golf, you won’t want to leave the house. Has Mountain Views too.
The ample and open family/kitchen/ living room with fireplace and high wood beamed ceilings embraces the tranquil atmosphere of the warm and exotic patio areas. Enjoy being lost in time. The elegant master seamlessly transitions to the verdant patio area through French doors and a swimming pool. The house also offers two other bedrooms with pool and backyard views. Both bathrooms are loaded with charm and spacious walk-in showers.
Multiple outdoor spaces, gorgeous plants, mature trees, lemon and orange trees-- the pool and the amazing fountain exude peace, tranquility and romanticism. Paradise is at your fingertips. The kitchen has new appliances. Coffee lovers, don’t worry there are several options, a Keurig (loaded with pods,) a traditional Cuisinart coffee pot with a grinder on-site and a French Press! Brand new 6-burner barbecue too. Also, dual system central state of the art new AC/Heat with Nest thermostats
The house is deep cleaned before every booking and air conditioning filters are changed. We want you to enjoy the magical experience!

Private getaway

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.

Fabulous privacy near El Paseo.

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.

Restorative month in Palm Desert

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.

About the host

Hosted by April Rouveyrol

Hi Everyone-- I'm a sci fi writer and my husband is a former basketball player, French and a realtor with Sotheby's in Pasadena. Chandolas is a village in France, in Ardeche, near Provence, where my husband spent every summer growing up, and this house reminded him of that region, which led to its name, "Villa Chandolas." We have loved this magical house for 8 years and have been wanting to make it a vacation rental for a while. We look forward to welcoming you into this wonderful place and making your stay as enjoyable, memorable and effortless as possible. We have a 27 day minimum stay due to Palm Desert's short term rental law.
Pets/doggies are welcome! Upon approval/and with an extra fee of $50.
