Unique home.

The home is warm and comfortable with artwork from around the world. Loved the saltwater pool. The owners were generous with their time answering any questions that we had. Location is in the middle of La Quinta near the Ralph's grocery store.

Exceeded our expectations

Villa Medusa was amazing and more than suitable for our group of friends. High quality furnishings and fascinating art added to our love of this home. We love to cook and were thrilled to see the variety and quality of utensils, pots and dishware. The pool and spa area was everything we needed for a sociable and restful vacation. Nadia was fantastic to deal with and promptly responded to any questions we had. We will be back😀

Great home & pool

Loved staying at Nadia's place! She was great with communication. We didn't have any issues while we were there. The place felt bigger than it looked in the pictures, especially the master bedroom and the high ceilings were awesome. The pool & hottub were great for relaxing and cooling off on hot days. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Home

Home was clean, well looked after, and modern. All beds were super comfortable. The bottle of wine waiting for us was a nice touch. Owner very helpful when contacted about a small glitch in the spa controls. Would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful place

Everything in the description of this home is true! It is a very comfortable, well equipped place. Spacious and comfortable, we had guests several times with no issues of climbing all over each other. I love to cook and this place fit the bill. Computers worked great on the wireless network and the TVs were great. You get the morning sun to warm up in and then the afternoon shade to bask in. Pool get sun until mid afternoon. Go!

Little Palace in the Desert!

What a lovely home Nadia (owner) has made and allowed us vacation renters to enjoy! My husband needed a short break, escape to decompress and rest. This home gave us comfort and convenience. Close to a supermarket, hairdresser, nail salon and Old Town La Quinta and it's restaurants, we enjoyed it all. Hope to return again in the future. Highly recommend this home, owner helpful and hands-on to assist you.

Great Vacation Rental!! Highly recommended*****

I loved this house and I was fortunate to stay for the month September. I was in need of some R&R and was lucky to find this home. I came by myself with my little dog and wanted a place that was gated where I could feel safe and I also wanted a yard that had complete privacy; this home had it all. I enjoyed lounging by the pool each day and having wine in the evening sitting outdoors and ending my day in the salt water hot tub, very rejuvenating. This house was spacious and comfortable and the photos portray the house exactly as it is. When I arrived, the place was CLEAN and that was really appreciated as some VRBO homes I have stayed in the past haven't been so clean. My bed was comfy too. This house is centrally located within sprawling La Quinta, it was nice to have everything so close! Another bonus was there was no road noise and it was so nice being able to sleep in each morning. Nadia, the owner, was very helpful and responsive with any questions or issues that came up. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home Nadia:)

First class

We stayed here for 1 month summer 2012. The home, its location it's decor and the overall "feel" to the house was first class, high end furnishings & tasteful design in the finest detail gave a luxurious feel in every corner of the house. EVERYTHING you could possibly need was provided nd I have to say the bottle of wine & candies that were on the counter when we arrived were very much appreciated, the pool & waterfall spa were amazing and the luxury from inside spilled out beyond the interior of the home, furnishing outside equaled the quality of indoors, and a lime tree for essential margarita time. Nada was a pleasure to deal with and booking was a breeze I plan to return to California and this home would be my first choice without a doubt!!!!

LaQuinta Renaissance Home

The house is lovely and just as represented in the photos and commentary. Beds are comfortable and the house is fully stocked with everything from paper products to laundry detergent. Manvel and Nadia are very responsive owners and quite helpful. They left a wonderful welcoming basket of pasta and wine and even two dog toys for our pups. We loved Old Town La Quinta, particularly the Sunday Farmers Market and Grill on Main for a quick snack. Hiking the Cove trails nearby was a special treat. We rented for the month of March and the weather was absolutely perfect. Choices of grocery stores are nearby--Ralphs, Henry's organic/health food and Trader Joes.

Perfect place to stay!!

We spent Christmas in La Quinta, and this was the perfect place to stay! The home was clean, well-maintained, fully-stocked, and very comfortable! The description and photos in the listing are accurate. We were just minutes away from everything we needed (stores, restaurants, etc.). Our favorite amenity was the pool, of course! The privacy and landscaping were great, the pool was warm and inviting, and the spa was a great place to start and end each day! We have family in La Quinta, and hope to stay in this beautiful home again when we visit!!! Thanks so much!

Beautiful Home, Great Location!

The house was everything I'd expected and more. Great house, great furnishings, great location for the Empire Polo Grounds. We even had friends park at the house and walk with us because traffic was so bad getting in and out of Coachella it was just easier to walk. The Wi-Fi was helpful in planning our day, and the big kitchen made it easy to entertain before heading to the show. Would absolutely reccommend, even if not going to the Polo Grounds - just to stay in a nice house with a great pool and spa.

Lovely Home in La Quinta

This property came as advertised. The amenities included comfortable beds and new Flat Screen TV's The owners , who live in Los Angeles, were responsive and easy to contact when we had questions. The pool and spa were exactly as pictured. It was conveniently located within walking distance to a small Shopping Center that had a Ralphs, CVS and a couple of good midrange Restaurants. All in all, a very pleasant stay. If only the weather had cooperated.

Beautiful Home!

This was a such a wonderful home for our first visit to the the Palm Springs area. Just like the pictures show, the house has a great open floor plan and plenty of space. Every thing looked new, fresh and clean: the furniture, extremely comfortable beds, high quality linens and towels (including beach towels), large HDTV, wirleless internet, and beautiful décor…. not typical for a rental home. Some of the mirrors were amazing. Nadia, will you come decorate my house?! We also loved the large grill on the patio. The location of this home is perfect. It is close to so many things and very private. It was a pleasure to work with Nadia – she was very responsive and helpful, providing us with information regarding local attractions, events, restaurant recommendations, etc. They provided brochures and a GREAT local map to help us navigate around the area. Also, thank you to Manvel for the directions to the tennis courts. I would highly recommend this home for rental…. only not during the time we want to rent it!

We are both from Europe (I am from Switzerland, and my husband is from Armenia) and have been living and working as Realtors in Los Angeles for some time. We choose the desert as our OASIS from the stressful life in LA. We really enjoy the activities in La Quinta/Palm Springs as playing TENNIS, ping pong, HIKING, playing GOLF, riding bicycles, and especially going to 'Old Town of La Quinta' to have our morning coffee and the farmers market over the weekend.
