Awesome
This property was perfect for us, a group of siblings in town for a family wedding. Tons of space for meals together and time alone. Host was responsive. Pool and spa were great as was firepit. Walking distance to main street. Topnotch experience.

This villa is gorgeous!
We had a wonderful stay at villa Amelita. The house is fully equipped and clean, the rooms are large and the outdoor terrace is huge. We were 9 adults and we were very comfortable. Clare is incredibly kind and responds quickly to requests for information both before and during the stay. I recommend this place without hesitation, you will have a remarkable stay. We would definitely go back.

Amazing House and Host
The house was way beyond what we expected. My friends and I celebrated my birthday in Palm Springs and picked the perfect home! So much room for everyone and all of us had our own bathroom. It was clean and the kitchen had everything you could need. The best part was the outdoor pool and deck where we spent most of time- so beautiful and comfortable. Clare our host was very sweet, flexible and always ready to help. It was a perfect vacation! We all loved it. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Truly a home away from home!
I knew from first sight that VillaAmelita was going to be the perfect place for my family and friends to spend a month in Palm Springs! The home and yard, as well as the location were perfect. So much space and comfort—everyone had their own space and the casita was the icing on the cake! Little Tuscany is a gorgeous area-such a walkable neighborhood and close enough to walk downtown. I can’t say enough about Clare-the owner! She seems like such a lovely person and was always quick to address any concerns we had! She employs very nice people who do a great job maintaining the property. I would recommend this fabulous home to anyone and would love to stay there when I get back to beautiful Palm Springs!

Our family of 4 (2 kids, 9 and 11) live in Los Angeles. My husband is from France and I am from Ireland. We fell in love with this property the minute we saw it! The views were incredible and we loved the huge private garden where all we can see are the trees and the mountains. Being in Little Tuscany, the property had a sort of Tuscan modern vibe, which we loved. The huge open kitchen was a real show stopper and the style was so unique and different from other properties we had seen. We loved the fact that we can be in town in minutes and even take the Buzz trolley which stops 5 minutes away. We came up with the name Villa Amelita from a combination of our daughter's middle name (Amelie) and our son's name (Liam). We hope our guests enjoy our little piece of paradise as much as we do!!
