Staying here made our whole trip a success. When you leave the grounds it's a short walk to downtown and everything Palm Springs has to offer. But when you return to the Casa, you are in a very private and quiet tropical paradise. The rooms are beautifully appointed with lovely textiles and antiques everywhere. The nooks and crannies scattered around the grounds give you all the privacy you need to curl up and read a book. And interesting books are everywhere! I can't wait to go back! read more

Casa de Monte Vista - A cool breezy place to read. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Palm Springs, California

This is a beautiful vacation place to stay to celebrate that special occasion. Built in 1928 it has private casitas set in lush gardens areas. My husband and I loved it so much that we stayed an extra night. The salt water pool is so inviting, the grounds include beautiful old palm trees, tropical flowers, green lawns, water fountains, lemon trees. There are so many little hidden sitting areas to just spend time relaxing. The birds were singing, it was a little slice of heaven with a lot of history. Located near downtown Palm Springs with wonderful restaurants and shops. The owner Joe Pulisi is very friendly and accommodating. I cried when we had to leave, but we plan to return for sure. read more

The property is embedded in a beautiful historic neighborhood called Old Las Palmas which is only 6 blocks from downtown Palm Springs; very walkable.

Having stayed in a couple dozen places in the area over the years, I could not be more happy with this place or with Joe. He was a true gentleman and very considerate, taking great care of us, and the place he has curated there is amazing! We kind of want to keep this secret just to ourselves, but isn't the right thing to do - it is our first time but absolutely not our last staying there! He paid great attention to detail with the decor and the location is great as well. read more

My fiance and I had a micro wedding here and stayed 2 nights in the verde casita. This was the MOST green and beautiful place I have ever been to! Joe was so accommodating and worked with us when it came to the weather. Of course it rained on our wedding day and he did everything to make it PERFECT! From the heated pool, beautiful scenery, serenity, and wonderful hospitality... my now husband and I will be making this a yearly retreat! read more

As someone from Guatemala I can say that Joe has done right by Antigua. Just left our one night stay at Antigua Casita for our 20th wedding anniversary and I could not have asked for a better getaway. We had he gorgeous scenery and authentic feel of Antigua while being able to walk to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Joe is the most accommodating host. Full of knowledge and info of the neighborhood and its history. His recommendations for restaurants is spot on and I am absolutely looking forward to and planning my next visit. Thank you Joe for making our 20th anniversary special with a touch of magic straight from the land of my ancestors. read more

We totally lucked out and somehow got in on Memorial Day weekend at the last minute. Joe was immediately the most gracious host. I had no idea what I had booked until we walked through the magical gate. Inside those walls is the most amazing gardens, flora, archways, antique furniture, views...it takes your breath away. We wished we had been able to spend more downtime there. We were in town for a visit with friends. Next time, we will take advantage of the nooks, benches and beautiful salt water pool. Joe will take care of you! read more

We recently stayed at Casa de Monte Vista and this is the most stunning little gem in Palm Springs. As soon as you enter the gate you are transported into another world. The water fountains, birds chirping the gorgeous plants and trees that have been there for years and then Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin casually serenade you as you walk through botanical gardens to your private casita. Joe was incredible and shared the beautiful history of the estate and walked us back in time, it's like we met an old friend. I wish we had more time there to just enjoy the relaxing and romantic estate. Until next time... read more

Joe has lovingly created a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary in Palm Springs. We were there on an unseasonably hot weekend in February and it was easily 10°F cooler on the grounds of the Casa de Monte Vista than anywhere else in Palm Springs. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the rooftop deck and exploring the Old Las Palmas neighborhood. The pool was a lovely oasis surrounded by tropical plants and flowers (and even a mama hummingbird sitting on a nest with 2 teeny eggs!). It is truly magical. read more

Casa de Monte Vista - Entrance - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Palm Springs, California

My extended family and I recently hosted our grandmother's Celebration of Life at Casa de Monte Vista, and it was absolutely perfect. We reserved the entire property for a private, intimate gathering, and it provided the ideal setting. Nestled in a beautiful part of historic Palm Springs, the estate sits under the shade of the mountains and is just a short walk from downtown. The grounds are impeccably maintained, and the home has been thoughtfully and authentically updated. Joe, the property owner, was both warm and attentive, making the experience seamless.

My wife and I spent a couple of night at this place. It's not easy to find, because it looks like a fortress from the outside. After finally finding the door, we were let in. The grounds are exceptional. The casita we stayed in was incredible. It felt like an old Adobe house. The architecture is beautiful. We were one of two couples to stay at the time, so it was nice. Super quiet, peaceful, and romantic. My wife and I love to garden, so walking around the grounds super nice. I can't say how it would be if there were more people staying there, but we loved it. If you're looking for a secluded romantic get away, this is the place. read more

We had our wedding here back in 2016 and it was the most gorgeous, magical, unique experience we ever could have dreamed up. Joe, the owner, is so kind, so knowledgeable and passionate about every little detail of the space, so working with him was a dream. We just came back, almost 10 years later, to show our three kids our most favorite place, and it was so sweet to see them fall in love with the wonder and charm of this little oasis with all of its reveals just as we had. Forever grateful to Joe for giving us the most incredible wedding weekend we ever could have imagined! read more

Casa de Monte Vista is absolutely stunning. We had our engagement photoshoot here this winter and it could not have been more perfect. The Spanish Revival architecture is beautiful and timeless, and the property is filled with lush, well-kept plants that made every corner feel special and photogenic. Beyond the aesthetics, the experience truly stood out because of the people. The owner and employees were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely cared for us during our time there. We felt so well taken care of and never rushed, which made such a difference on an important day for us. We loved every moment at Casa de Monte Vista and are already talking about visiting again. It's a truly magical place and an absolute gem in Palm Springs. read more

The owner is very hands-on with guests there, but it's because he really cares about this property. We just had a celebration of life there and everything went spectacular.

Casa de Monte Vista - Family - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Palm Springs, California

My husband and I have been to Palm Springs many times and this idyllic spot is the most beautiful place we've stayed! The property is set within an historic neighborhood that is in close proximity to all downtown shops and restaurants. Once you are inside the private walls of the estate, it feels like you're transported to paradise, filled with trickling fountains and a beautiful cornucopia of flowers, fruit trees, and cacti around every corner. Hummingbirds flitting around the saltwater pool complete the oasis vibe. Joe is a wonderful host who responds promptly to any needs, and the casitas are so lovely and well-maintained. For anyone who wants to experience a tranquil retreat while still enjoying the fun and vibrant city of Palm Springs, you won't find a better spot! read more

While hunting for the perfect venue for an intimate wedding (less than 10 people) we never would have imagined how incredible Casa would truly be until we stepped inside the location for ourselves. Our hunt was long and careful, trying to find the perfect mix of beautiful while also private for a small crowd as to not get swallowed by a big hotel/venue environment. it was a difficult task, but as soon as we stepped on the premises the answer was clear - This private estate, carefully taken care of and curated by Joe Luisi is one of the most visually stunning locations I have ever been to. From the moment you first enter it is clear that every last detail is perfectly attended to. It was hard to pick a ceremony spot! We didn't even feel the need for florals after one brief tour of the place ( just look at the photos we got!) Not to mention, it was important to us to find a location with on site accommodations so that our more vulnerable/elderly guests would be able to rest easily between ceremony and reception. I felt that their needs were considered and attended to delightfully. Each Casita is beautifully decorated and airy, with comfortable bedding and antique decor - incredibly clean and well maintained! We could not have imagined a more luxurious wedding suite for the two of us. As for the owner Joe - he was incredibly generous regarding us and our time. He was happy to answer any and all of our questions and happily accommodated any time we wished to stop by. He also had an amazing array of contacts and tried and true vendors that we used that made the wedding planning process so easy. His relationship with them was clearly built on years of trust and a level of quality we were blown away by. We absolutely adored not just him but the whole team he collaborates with. We feel like though we found a venue, we also feel like we built a strong relationship that Casa has now become a place in our hearts we'd readily return to. As a note, care for this place and it will care back for you - its truly such a romantic and special location that it is worthy of lower key/beautiful events. While we know the space can accommodate a large amount, we personally feel that this is the place for events on an elevated level that is not just 'party' style venue and feel that you will miss out on the true loveliness of the location without it. We had a magical time at Casa, a time to remember, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. I also would EASILY do photoshoots here because there is not a single spot that doesn't make for absolute glamour. read more

MAGICAL is the only word that comes to mind. My husband and I booked Casa de Monte Vista for our fall wedding and everything was perfect! The grounds are exquisitely manicured and set the tone and vibe for exactly what we were looking for. The owner, Joe, was very kind and accommodating to our needs and gave our guests staying on property a little history and detailed dos and donts while staying there. Joe is obviously very proud of the property, as he should be, so I suggest having the same respect and pride while staying here. The property itself is as if youre stepping into a secret garden oasis. Every where you look you will find a photo op or calming place to relax and reflect. Each casita is unique and it's like youre taking a step back in time! I would not recommend for a large wedding or a group of children but the venue is PERFECT for a small wedding, reception space, weekend get away, or girls trip. It is strategically set up for catering and beverage services that flow seamlessly tucked away from guests. I see some negative comments regarding he owner and his involvement. We honestly did not mind Joe checking on things through out the wedding, again it was a matter of respect. My suggestion, meet with Joe before your event like we did and make sure you discuss what is acceptable at the property and what is not. It was made very clear to us that because it is in a residential area (Old Las Palmas - gorgeous), only one to two cars were allowed on property. We advised our guests to use ride share and had zero issues. He was very respectful and kind to us the entire time and we feel as though we made a friend In Palm Springs. We will definitely be back and highly recommend to others. Thank you, Joe. Your hard work and dedication to your property allowed us to create a magical experience for our guests. See you soon! read more

I want to share my negative experience at this place! I attended my friends' wedding, and the owner of this place ruined the mood for all the guests. If you rent this villa, be prepared for this crazy man to constantly be on the property, following you around and making comments about your every move. Additionally, being a racist, he insulted my husband who is Mexican, assuming he was supposed to fix an AC. He did not show respect for the wedding ceremony. He was just CLEANING THE POOL IN THE BACKGROUND during such an important moment. Couldn't he have done it at another time? This man cannot walk around the villa in such attire when guests are having a formal event and everyone is in official suits. This is unacceptable! At 10 PM, he approached us and told us to be quiet, even though we were just sitting and talking, with no music playing. Be assured that this man will ruin your event. read more

Stop looking around, shopping around, wasting time & secure this as your venue now! I eloped with my partner of 7 years, due to some unforeseen circumstances. Joe was quick to jump to action, and help us get this done swiftly, gracefully, and somehow remain stress free. Whether you spend a year planning your wedding here or 5 days like us, Joe will help you get it done. This is it. If you're reading this you've probably already scoured through the countless pictures of this place. I could post more but honestly there's no need. Pictures don't do it justice, we booked this place based off of pictures and were left speechless the moment we stepped in. It's the details that truly make this place stand out. Anyways like I said earlier quit wasting time & make this your place I guarantee you, you won't regret it. read more
