A Spanish hacienda built around craft and drama, this La Quinta villa arrives with antique doors, hand-crafted floors from Spain, and brick-vaulted ceilings that make every room feel like it belongs to another century. A private courtyard fountain greets you on arrival, while the pool terrace frames the Santa Rosa Mountains in full. Each bedroom has its own fireplace, two outdoor spas overlook the golf course fairways, and an underground living room adds a rare architectural note. PGA West's championship courses are a twenty-one-minute drive away for those who want them.

La Quinta offers all the amenities of an upscale California desert town mixed with a love for the arts. Your inner art collector will appreciate the abundance...
