Casa de Monte Vista Palm Springs

United States / Palm Springs, California
Location ID: #10119214

Nestled in the historic Old Las Palmas neighborhood, Casa de Monte Vista is one of the original homes of Palm Springs built in the late 1920s. Frequented by some of the most legendary luminaries from Hollywood, this private Spanish-style estate has the secluded and nostalgic atmosphere that Palm Springs is known for. Owned by Robert Stack in the 1950s, the property was a common gathering place for The Rat Pack during the 1960s.
Casa de Monte Vista offers individual casita suites with private baths, entrances and patios for vacation rental. Each casita is within steps to the pool. The whole house is also available for family and group stays. The solar-powered saltwater pool, hot tub, lush landscaped gardens and grounds are surrounded by tall walls and gates for your private and quiet stay. Our beautiful grounds with spectacular mountain views provide the perfect location for garden or courtyard weddings and ceremonies, corporate events, meetings, baby and bridal showers, grooms parties and more. Each event is custom created for your memorable experience.
Complete with a “caterer ready” kitchen, Casa de Monte Vista also has a large covered dining patio and small stage with AC for dancing, shows and special events. Luxury European bedding is provided for your comfortable stay. Bicycles are available for neighborhood rides. Located 6 blocks from downtown Palm Springs.
Chosen as the location for the Liberace movie “Behind The Candelabra” starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, this walled and gated Spanish Estate evokes the essence of old Palm Springs. We are also a favorite Southern California film and photo-shoot location.
