"Smile" says the neon sign above the shimmering pool at this sensational Palm Springs home, and it's impossible not to when you're surrounded by such stunning mountain scenery and plentiful sunshine. The garden is the best place to take those views - grab a seat under the bright yellow and white parasol on one of the matching sun loungers that give off serious French Riviera vibes.
