Experience the best of Los Angeles from this stunning Mediterranean-style estate in Griffith Park in the Hollywood Hills. Admire views of the Griffith Observatory from the breakfast nook, lounge on the shaded lanai, and swim in the heated saltwater pool. This is an idyllic base in LA – it feels secluded and peaceful but you’ll only be ten minutes from Hollywood’s nightlife, shopping, and excellent restaurants. The villa was originally built in 1931 and boasts carefully preserved architectural details including arched doorways, hand-carved mahogany doors, and decorative tiles. There's also a hidden recording studio where Ricky Martin, Kevin Bacon, and many other artists have laid down tracks.
