VILLA PORTOFINO, PALM DESERT: What is it all about?

This active 55+ community was built on 50 acres with beautifully landscaped homes and amenities inspired by the magic of Italy. While this community is smaller than other 55+ properties in the Coachella Valley, the amenities and friendly people bring a charm reminiscent of summer in Tuscany to this gem in the desert.

 

This gated community exhibits an Italian flair with tranquil waterways, graceful columns, gentle arches, and windows laced with ironwork. The detailed craftsmanship extends to the grand clubhouse. Exterior building maintenance, pest control and upkeep of the grounds are all handled by the community.

 

Villa Portofino is situated perfectly around numerous golf courses, country clubs, and restaurants. Home owners are treated every day to the breath taking views of both the San Jacinto Mountains and the Santa Rosa Mountains. This ideal location offers several on site amenities all within a secure and gated community.

 

Surrounded by the breathtaking spectacle views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains. Villa Portofino is only 15 miles from Palm Springs International Airport and a 2-hour drive to Los Angeles, Orange County, Big Bear Mountain and San Diego.
