Villa dei Fiori is a photographer's dream. Imagine you're on the Italian Riviera and simultaneously on the Joshua Tree National Park and discover a forest of trees and fragrant flowers amid giant boulders. Plunge into a 36 ft x 20 ft. by 6 ft deep saltwater pool with scents of jasmine, rosemary, and cypress. Cut roses, rosemary, Desert Bird of Paradise, Arizona cypress, and French lavender and take home with you. Hike directly into the park to see bobcats, hawks, owls, foxes, lizards, and Gambels quail. The kitchen is set up for chefs. Dine in our three-chamber cave over a wood fire. We provide a carpet for the cave. We like to host children who adore animals and explore caves.
Explore our Valley of the Moon with caves and canyons immediately behind the house where you'll not see other hikers. Explore dramatic rock formations of the National Park without getting into your car. Ideas for hiking trails from the house directly into the park are provided during our tour upon your arrival. Villa dei Fiori is the home of a filmmaker and author who has created a haven for solitude and serenity. Bighorn sheep are often seen on the boulders over the house. Bring your your camera and binoculars. We give you pruners to cut fragrant rosemary, French lavender, Carolina jasmine, and Arizona Blue cypress to take home.. Pruning shears are by the kitchen door and we have many vases for making bouquets. Rejuvenate at Villa dei Fiori with aroma therapy and tranquility.
The pool is open 12 months of the year but the best swimming time begins in April and lasts through mid-October, after which time it begins to cool down due to falling night time temperatures. Joshua Tree is often 12 degrees cooler than Palm Springs. The six person hot spa heats to 104 degrees. The propane barbecue is on the kitchen terrace just 12 feet from the kitchen adjacent to the laundry room. Two dining terraces overlook the boulders and a Joshua Tree. You surrounded by the heavenly scent of Arizona Blue cypress, Tuscan rosemary and French lavender.
