Imagine you're on the Italian Riviera, not in a commercial rental but a lovers' dream on the border of the Joshua Tree National Park. Swim in a 80 degree 36 ft x 30 ft. saltwater pool with scents of jasmine, rosemary, and cypress. Cut roses, Desert Bird of Pardise, Tuscan rosemary, and Arizona cypress and take home. Hike directly into the park to see bobcats, owls, hawks, foxes, lizards, and Gambels quail. The kitchen is ready for chefs. Dine in our three chamber cavern over a wood fire. We love hosting children who love animals and exploring caves.

Explore our Valley of the Moon with many caves and canyons to explore immediately behind the house where you'll see no 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 with you Pruning shears are by the kitchen door and we have many vases for making bouquets. Rejuvenate at Villa dei Fiori with aroma therapy.

The pool is always open but the best swimming time begins in April and lasts through mid-October, after which time it begins to cool down due to falling nighttime 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 cypress, rosemary and French lavender.
