Casa de Monte Vista

Perfect spot for a romantic and relaxing getaway. We only had a two night stay but we were able to decompress quickly and enjoy a very relaxing stay. The property has class, scenic beauty and historical prominence. We enjoyed the private saltwater pool and hot tub immensely with meals on the patio. The property is immaculately maintained with a private exclusive feel. The art and furnishings were tasteful and eclectic.
The property is close to the strip so we enjoyed quick trips to town for supplies. The owners were very friendly, open and knowledgeable about the area. The pricing was equivalent to the chain hotels and provided a more intimate local experience of Palm Springs.
We stayed in Casita Antigua and we will surely be back to visit again. Thanks Joe!

Valentine’s weekend… wow what can we say? there’s a reason for all these 5 star reviews. Here’s a short list:
–stunning property, stepping back in Old Las Palmas at its best. So many beautiful details, feel like royalty strolling around the grounds. The neighborhood is dripping with an old money vibe.
–Joe the proprietor made it so much fun. He is such a warm personality and is available to answer any questions about the many fine restaurants (within easy walking distance), or just b.s. at the bar morning noon or nite.
–the rooms are private and tasteful. We got to inspect a few and they each have their own character and exposure to its own private view thru the french doors.
–just a few blocks from the Strip, we walked every day or nite to the many very good eateries. Nice to not have to drive.
We’ll be back for sure. Actually a good deal if prepared to pay the same at a hotel… way better. Thanks Joe!

Just returned from a fantastic stay at Casa de Monte Vista. In the Las Palmas area of Palm Springs, this gem of a property has little casitas, and all kinds of garden spots filled with fountains, flowers, shrubs, succulents, and palms. The casita had just had new flooring, countertops, sinks and showers put in. Joe is an amazing host, who gives you privacy but at the same time wants to ensure that your time at Casa Monte Vista is memorable. I appreciated his heating the pool for me so that I could remember my early days growing up in California. This place is like a home away from home and I highly recommend it

We six friends celebrated our bestfriend Renee’s birthday at this amazing and magical resort. We had the pleasure of having the whole grand resort to ourselves, which consisted of the main house and five charming casitas, several gardens and quiet patio corners, saltwater pool and outdoor patio with full bar and grill accoutrements. Joe, our new friend and proprietor, started our experience with a grand tour of the entire estate. How he described each location and casita enhanced our experience and enticed us with the famous past and present. It was very obvious that each spot was a work of love and care, from the original 1928 Spanish floor tiles, buildings and gardens, all the way to the modern touches, which did not subtract from the beauty of the past. Each casita was designed and appointed beautifully with full kitchens and full service tableware and glassware, comfy and welcoming queen beds, a pair of fluffy soft white robes for lounging, fully stocked bathroom facility, TV and wifi, even a mini flashlight for those late-​night trips to the hot tub or moonlight tiptoe through the gardens. We had relaxing massages (recommended by Joe) on the rooftop patio which 360-​degree views of the mountain vista took your breath away! We had the option of preparing our own meals, which not many resorts accommodate that option. We were blessed to have a hobby chef among us girlfriends. Just cooking in the fully furnished kitchen and outdoor bar and grill made this mundane chore a pleasurable and enjoyable activity for each of us. The resort was wired perfectly for TV for the football playoffs that some of us girls enjoyed on the last Sunday of our weekend and music wherever and whenever we wanted to enhance our listening pleasure. Joe encouraged us to contact him at any time to ensure nothing was amiss in our enjoyment throughout the entire weekend. Each nook and cranny was a delight: garden arches, water features, and even an outdoor chess or checkers set for our relaxing enjoyment. This wonderful resort made our dear friend’s birthday one to remember always! I wish I could post all of my pictures! Just a written post does not even do the place justice! Joe, we thank you and Jody for making our experience at your place «the best weekend and birthday ever!»

My brother was married today, all i can say is OMG, this venue is amazing, lot of wonderful photo ops. If you are looking for a wedding venu or place to host a party or any gathering, i would highly recommend this place. Will post pic

We just had our wedding at Casa De Monte Vista and it was fantastic. We had just over 100 guests and it was the perfect size venue. Every where you turn there is another gorgeous part of the property you didn’t see the first time through.
It was a destination wedding and we rented the entire venue for the weekend. Our families stayed in the casitas and they had a great time. Joe, one of the owners, obviously takes great pride in the property, as he should. He has so many stories for every renovation and piece of furniture. The renovations they have done fit in flawlessly with the property.
It comes with a steep price tag, but was totally worth it. The property creates such a unique experience and atmosphere we will never forget. Thank you to Joe and the rest of the Casa De Monte Vista crew.

I’ve photographed several weddings at Casa De Monte Vista and they have been some of my favorite weddings to this day. The property is gorgeous with so many great photo spots. As a venue it’s very accommodating and versatile to fit the needs of each client. Joe, the owner is so nice to work with and always had a smile on his face. As a wedding photographer I appreciate places like this that make my job easy and enjoyable.

We had the pleasure of throwing a surprise baby shower at this extraordinary location with mountain views unmatched! Not only was the setting perfect but the staff couldn’t have made the set up and event any easier for our group. Events can be stressful but this was a breeze! Every attention to detail was addressed and our Mother and Father to be were overwhelmed by how beautiful everything turned out! I highly recommend this location for your next special event!

Overall experience of this venue was amazing for our wedding. Great for intimate ceremonies and events. Joe, the owner was very accommodating and provided us with a stress free environment, besides all the antiques around that I was scared for my children to get close to. The furniture did add to the overall feeling of the estate though, very nice! A room for the bridal party to get ready was provided and they had a great time. Would definitely recommended this place for events such as weddings.

Was here yesterday for my nieces wedding. When they had booked the venue, the staff had told them they would be accommodated with rooms for the bride. On the wedding day they made her and the bridesmaids get ready in the kitchen and back patio bar. No doors. No privacy. They said the rooms were being renovated, something they had not notified us until the day of the wedding. Parking is a pain, and shuttle services are extra.
That being said, the venue is pretty, the staff was nice, but I felt it was unorganized. The bride was very upset at the circumstances but we still had a great wedding.

Casa de Monte Vista is a paradise in Palm Springs. Whether your local to the area or from out of town, this venue is a great place to relax and enjoy what Palm Springs has to offer. This property is also a fantastic estate to hold your next special event. We have held weddings at this location, and find this venue to hold a beautiful and natural backdrop. We recommend this estate if you are looking for a peaceful place to have your next event or want a relaxing place to get away for the weekend.

Case De Monte Vista is paradise in the desert. The property is very private, tends to every need, and makes you feel you needn’t go anywhere. Located a few blocks from Palm Canyon Drive, we had not only access to privacy, but many shops and restaurants.
The Casitas are beautifully decorated and the property is heaven on earth. Joe, thank you for providing us magical, relaxing and fulfilling weekend.

We rented this majestic Palm Springs gem for a girls weekend with 9 of my best friends. It was fantastic! We each had two girls to one of the casitas, which surrounded a gorgeous pool, outdoor dining, kitchen, and outdoor bar with built in grill. It’s so perfect for a group!!! We had two masseuse come to give us massages in the mornings and a chef (chef Giovanni, who cooked for Madonna for years) cook for us. Ask Joe for their contact info. He knows everyone and everything about Palm Springs! You can also walk into town or ride one of the bikes provided from the house. Highly recommended for anyone!!!

Our stay at Casa de Monte Vista was amazing! The pictures online are beautiful, but stepping through the gate and onto the lovely grounds gave way to a peaceful flow of old-​time spanish charm mixed with well-​done updates making this a fabulous, private place to relax, retreat and have a good time. We enjoyed 10 days at this special property for a family get together, celebrating birthdays and relaxing. We’ve rented several homes in the area, but Casa de Monte Vista is the best by far! The grounds are gorgeous with many private places to relax and take in the beauty. We stayed in most of the casitas available and thoroughly enjoyed the large outdoor kitchen as a common gathering place. Each casita is done so well and fit our needs perfectly! Joe, the owner was not only a lovely person, but fast and efficient with his responses to our questions, helpful and hospitable making sure our stay was comfortable & enjoyable. We are looking forward to returning to this wonderful property.

Gorgeous house and breathtaking views. I wish that I could live at this house permanently.
My husband and I celebrated our wedding at the Casa de Monte Vista, and the place couldn’t have been more romantic or idyllic.
Highly recommend this place, especially for a winter romantic escape.

My husband and I traveled from Washington State and celebrated a week long vacation at this beautiful venue. Our accommodations were lovely and very private.
The grounds are beautiful and attention to detail makes this location… an Oasis in the desert.
We enjoyed our host and appreciated his attention to all our needs.
Great location and walking distance to Palm Springs and all that the area has to offer.
Returning from a busy day to a great pool, hot tub and serene surroundings, we truly felt rested and revitalized.
From private retreat to a larger event this property is a MUST to discover while in Palm Springs !

I’m a producer on a new documentary series and I was given the task of finding a beautiful location our cast can enjoy a relaxing retreat. I came across a listing for Casa de Monte Vista. The pictures of the location were amazing, so I reached out to the owner to see if the location was available on the day we needed it and if he would be willing to let us come out and film there.
Joe responded very quickly and could not have been more helpful and wonderful. Upon arriving at the location, we were speechless. The pictures on the website to not do this place justice. It is even more beautiful in person. Joe was very accommodating to our entire cast and crew.
I can’t wait to go back to Palm Springs and enjoy a relaxing weekend at Casa de Monte Vista.
Thanks so much Joe!!!

I was the officiant
for Leen and Gordons wedding on June 14 2014. The venue suited their personalities to a tee.
The photographer, Gregg Felsen, did an amazing job with the light that he had to work with. Be very careful of the time of day that you select for your ceremony as you may not be able to use the exact area that has the beautiful mountain background.
Casa de Monte Vista has unique charms. As a certified wedding planner/​coordinator I recommend it for parties of 125 or fewer.
A delightful time was had by all.

We had our wedding at the Casa De Monte Vista on June 14^th this year. This venue is absolutely beautiful. The property is well maintained and was a good size for our 130 person wedding. We had the ceremony in the front courtyard which was beautiful and the reception was in the back which comfortably fit 16 8-​person round tables nicely with room for a buffet, a candy bar, and a cake table. We also hired Flipbooks to take photos and there was still plenty of room for dancing and a bar. We hired a caterer, a baker and a couple bartenders. Joe, the owner, was an excellent resource and recommended great vendors whom exceeded our expectations.
Our caterer was *very* excellent and did a lot of the coordinating for us, but because this venue is not a one-​stop-​shop, we highly recommend that you hire a day coordinator. We did not have one and thus had a lot of work to do — much more than we anticipated. Our bridal party was amazing and really stepped up to help. It was wonderful staying at the property for the weekend as we rented the venue.
The property has some limitations for those seeking a large party. It’s a very classy venue in a residential neighborhood so parking is an issue and so is loud music. You must clearly understand the parking situation before you book. We hired a shuttle service, which worked really well. But you will have to have the disabled set up cab service because parking is limited to spaces for your vendors. The music cannot be played loudly at this venue but with that limitation the music was plenty loud for us. The volume on the dance floor was perfect and you didn’t have to shout to hear each other.
Our wedding was absolutely amazing and we loved every moment of it. It was more beautiful than we could have imagined. We would recommend this venue for couples seeking a classy wedding who have time for a lot of coordination or who can afford to hire a coordinator to help the event run smoothly.

What a fantastic get-​away! Attended a wedding just tonight and couldn’t have been more pleased. Joe, the proprietor, is an absolute gem! Thank you thank you thank youuu… will surely be back (as long as the girls promise to jump into the pool again!!!)
