LA Love

LA Love: California

Those with a soft spot for the finer things in life will feel right at home here. Situated in right in the beating heart of Venice – just a short stroll away from the world famous Venice Beach – this modern mansion is flush with lavish touches and boasts sensational views of both the city skyline and rugged mountainscape. In a word, it's magnificent – and all the proof we'll ever need that love at first sight really does exist.

From the moment you catch a glimpse of its spectacular frontage, your jaw will drop immediately to the floor. This home really does have the wow–factor. From it's floor–to–ceiling windows, welcoming light to stream its way inside, to the beautiful front balcony with its vertical wooden panelling and of course, it's picture–perfect backdrop, we challenge you to find a more fabulous place to stay in than this.

As we weave our way inside, the sumptuous, contemporary look and feel continues. You can just tell that every last detail has been carefully selected and curated – and it definitely doesn't go unappreciated. Contemporary homes can sometimes feel a little cold and unwelcoming, but that's far from the case here. Ritzy as it may be, the interior is warm and welcoming with a real home–away–from–home appeal to it. We're particularly taken with the open plan kitchen/living area. Furnished with a sprawling corner sofa and mounds of sumptuous cushions, we can already picture ourselves snuggled up here with a large glass of white wine and some nibbles – bliss!

It's virtually impossible to pin–point just one star attraction with this place – because there are so many! That being said, the glittering private pool and hot tub are more than deserving of a special shout–out. If at any point you can't find us, there's a very good chance that this is where we'll be – sunglasses firmly on and Margarita in hand. Cheers!
