About this property

KEMPA VILLA I Secluded 5-Acre Mountain View Retreat w/ Concierge, Complimentary Pool Heat

Escape the Ordinary at KEMPA VILLA, a private oasis on five acres surrounded by Palm Desert's otherworldly beauty. Open the gates to reveal lush, tropical gardens and a palm-lined entry that give way to your dream escape. We invite you to visit for whatever reason draws you here: whether it's to spend time wandering the orchards in quiet reverie or to host your celebration on the great lawn with rolling mountains as your backdrop.
Upon arrival at the main gates, you'll enter an oasis of privacy and tranquility. This resort style 5 acre estate in Palm Desert offers a peaceful desert lifestyle with big views, and unmatched seclusion, yet only minutes away from El Paseo Drive with plentiful shopping, dining and more.

Indoor living is spread across three buildings. The Villa, Bungalow, and Casita buildings.
The Villa contains the King Master Suite with sitting area, two King ensuite bedrooms, the Great Room, Den and Bar. A luxuriously outfitted chefs kitchen and multiple dining spaces making dining at the Villa an event everyone will enjoy.

The Bungalow provides a King Master Suite, a Queen Bedroom and a bunk room with 4 twin bunks, in addition to a gourmet kitchen, living room, covered terraces, and private gardens.

Across the pool from the Villa, and just in front of the Pond, sits the Casita building. Two Queen suites, and outdoor living and dining area, and placement between the infinity pool and fishing pond make the Casita rooms a grand escape of their own.

We would love to host your reunion, corporate retreat and welcome you to contact Kempa Collection for all the details!

Amazing Home

My family and I had an amazing time at Kempa Villa. The concierge was very attentive and responsive. My only complaint is that the lake was not in shape for us to use, and that was one of the major attractions to the home for us. Other than that everything was perfect.

Amazing Villa

What a phenomenal house and the perfect venue for a reunion with old friends. Our sleeping quarters, the movie star pool, and the common areas are perfect. The grass wasn't emerald green like in the pictures, nor was the lake full, but who really cares? The Villa is grand. We had the best time. Thank you, Kempa Collection and Ruben our concierge. We'll be back!

AUCTION

VRBO location is for auction as it failed to sell on the open market.The house was basically in disrepair from broken lounge chairs to pool table Cues with no tips..two dishwasher - both functioned poorlyinadequate hot water in room near swimming poolinadequate lighting in living roomLake was full of Algae.. and we advised the adults and children to stay away. We were looking forward to rowing the boat. Pool and spa were great but we had to remind the host to turn on the heater.Host did the best he could considering the challenges he faced. So - a house up for auction on Dec 7th should not be listed on VRBOThe other adults have a more comments.. They will email the host directly

Amazing Stay, Incredible Service, Gorgeous Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I planned this stay with a group of friends for my husband's 40th birthday and I couldn't of had a better experience. The property is stunning, straight out of a magazine. The service was as if we were staying in a 5 star hotel. Josef and Christina are incredible hosts! And the food!! Josef worked with me to customize the perfect menu for each meal and it was so well done - the service, the presentation, and the food itself. They took care of little things you wouldn't even expect from a 5 star hotel. (I even sent them a karaoke machine to test out for me prior to our arrival) They are pretty much a 5 star hotel, top chef, and party planning service all in one. I can't recommend this property enough and we can't wait to go back!
