Secluded and Sexy, Big Swimming Pool, Garden and Cave on Boundary of JT. Park

Swimming weather has arrived at Villa dei Fiori. Families and lovers will leave their cares behind amid the solitude and beauty of our trees, flowers, boulders, and caves. Imagine that you are in the Mediterranean and simultaneously on the Joshua Tree National Park. Take cuttings of our fragrant plants home with you! We provide a tour of the garden and house upon arrival. Chill out in a grove of fragrant cypresses and pines surrounded by giant outcroppings of stone. Plunge into a 36 ft. x 20 ft. x 6 ft deep saltwater pool with scents of jasmine, rosemary, and cypress. Cut rosemary, Desert Bird of Paradise, Wisteria, Arizona Blue cypress, and French lavender to take home with you. The garden has wonderful fragrances unlike any other place in the desert. Hike right into the national park to see bobcats, hawks, owls, foxes, lizards, and Gambels quail. There are three bedrooms and a sofa sleeper in the living room which is good for one person, or a child. There are many cushions to make an additional pallet bed in the library. The kitchen is furnished for chefs. Cozy up on a carpet in our three-chamber cave over a wood fire. We provide a carpet to make the cave cozy. We like to host children who adore animals and explore caves.

Explore our Valley of the Moon caves and canyons immediately behind the house where you'll not see other hikers. Absolute privacy. Explore dramatic rock formations of the National Park without getting into your car. Ideas for hiking trails from the house directly into the park are provided during our tour upon your arrival. Villa dei Fiori is the home of a filmmaker and author who has created a haven for solitude and serenity. Bighorn sheep are often seen on the boulders over the house. Bring your your camera and binoculars. We provide pruners to cut fragrant rosemary, French lavender, Carolina jasmine, and Arizona Blue cypress to take home.. Pruning shears are by the kitchen door and we have many vases for making bouquets. Rejuvenate at Villa dei Fiori with aroma therapy and tranquility.

The pool is open 12 months of the year but the best swimming time begins in April and May and lasts through mid-October, after which time it begins to cool down due to falling night time temperatures. Joshua Tree is often 12 degrees cooler than Palm Springs. The hot spa heats to 104 degrees. The propane barbecue is on the kitchen terrace just 12 feet from the kitchen adjacent to the laundry room. Two dining terraces overlook the boulders and a Joshua Tree. You surrounded by the heavenly scent of Arizona Blue cypress, Desert Bird of Paradise, Tuscan rosemary and French lavender.

Paris in the desert

The house interior is like a Paris apartment with the colors, artwork and lighting. The juxtaposition of that with the desert outside is a surprising delight. The many terraces are lovely. The pool area is better than a 5 star.resort

Great property

This property is great! Just as advertised, we took advantage of lounging by the pool, rock climbing, star watching and nice long walks. Just what we needed. Dale is a great host, showed us around the property and answered any/all questions that we had and stayed in contact during our stay to insure we had everything we needed. We would recommend this property to family and friends.

Birthday getaway

Our family vacation in Joshua tree was made unforgettable thanks to our Vrbo stay , it was a beautifully home with lost of history and an amazing backyard. It was exactly what our daughter wanted for her birthday (which was climbing the boulders) we will definitely be booking again over the summer with more time in our stay so we can enjoy the pool . Thanks Dale for sharing this beautiful home with us.

This places was very nice and private! The layout outside with the pool and hot tub was great. My wife and I had a most relaxing time. The house is between the west and north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the north entrance, which is less busy than the west entrance. We saw lots of lizards and gila monsters on the property. There is a nice hike on the property as well. We were lucky enough to see a bobcat on one of the last days we were there! That was very exciting, as they are very skittish. The only complaint I would have(very minor), is the kitchen is a little small. There is plenty of seating to eat inside or out. We ate outside most of the time, which was pleasant. I highly recommend staying here! Dale kept in contact, and made sure everything was satisfactory. Thank you Dale! We will be back in the near future!

A special place

Comfortable, private and beautiful retreat nestled into a ridge of desert boulders near JT entrances. Rock climbing, caves, pool/spa and a great library! Adaptation to climate change forced replacement of original roses and lavender with large trees, rosemary, jasmine, birds of paradise, blue palo verde and more. Devoted stewardship and a very special place!

Wonderful property and host in Joshua Tree

Just had an amazing short vacation at Dales property in Joshua Tree. His landscaping is amazing, the pool is as spectacular as the pictures. So much better than staying in a hotel. Here you can sit in the Hot Tub and watch the stars for as long as you want, uninterrupted! Dale is a great host, and a very creative artist, which shows in his carefully crafted garden, which has unique film set props.

Relaxing stay

My family had the best time at the Villa. My adult kids pretty much spent the entire week in the pool. We hiked the 49 palms hike, which was so pretty and saw so much wildlife in the area. Dale was an excellent host and we enjoyed hearing about his plans and the new Villa.

Perfect Desert Getaway!

We recently stayed at this desert rental, and it exceeded all my expectations! The property was beautifully maintained, with stunning views and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions and enjoying the tranquility of the desert. The host was incredibly responsive and provided excellent recommendations for local activities and dining. We especially loved the outdoor space for stargazing at night. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing escape!

Beautiful, Unique Oasis in the dessert

The villa was beautiful, spacious and unique. I wished we could have stayed longer than 1 full day because we didn’t even get to lounging poolside. We did enjoy exploring the caves, the wonderful hot tub under the stars, and even meeting the resident roadrunner who greeted us at breakfast. Dale is a spry young man who has lived a full life and is full of stories! He’s built something amazing here.

Desert Sanctuary

This was our third time at Dale's place, we love the solitude and the desert landscape. The rocks behind the house are a wonderful playground. Dale has done a great job of creating outdoor spaces for relaxing and socializing. The pool area is one of the most beautiful I have seen.

Profound property!

Life becomes rich when you stay in beautiful places and meet interesting people. If you’re a creative family and would like an experience that is not cookie cutter, you will enjoy this property! The location of the home situated adjacent to huge boulders was truly profound. Our seven-year-old daughter’s highlight was climbing the boulders and exploring the cave and of course swimming in the salt water pool. She said she wanted to stay and build a tiny home on the cliff overlooking the pool! We will cherish our experience in Joshua Tree. Dale was a kind and interesting host, his passion and creativity was a true inspiration.

Great Stay!

This phenomenal rental came in clutch when our group decided to scrap the camping plans last minute due to the heat. Dale’s place was perfect. It accommodated our group and sits right up against the park. Great jump off for adventures and the salt water pool welcomed us on our return. Looking forward to another stay at this location when the summer heat simmers down.
