Red-roofed, turreted and perched on a verdant hilltop, you’d be forgiven for thinking you arrived at a Tuscan stately home. There’s no denying however you’re in California when you follow the private walking trail through 5 acres of avocado trees. Smash up some guacamole for poolside nachos in the generous kitchen, and start the morning with avocado toast at the breakfast bar. You’re in the heart of Temecula wine country here, so make sure to sample a pinot or two from the nearby vineyards. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to unwind with a glass of wine; the loungers by the pool overlooking the rolling hills, in the bubbling spa, by the outdoor fireplace under the shaded patio. Work up an appetite on the basketball court, or hang out in the games rooms. The master suite comes with countryside views and a luxurious free-standing bath in the en-suite. This place provides the kind of escapism that begs you to turn off your notifications and soak in the scenery, however should you need it, there's a remote working space.
