A Magical Getaway in Palm Springs, CA

Last blog post I promised you I'd share the magical secret getaway location hubby Steve and I traveled to for the holidays. So come on, I'll take you on a tour of the beautiful Palm Springs, CA Villa Royale Inn and Europa restaurant...

To get there, first we'll drive by beautiful cactus all lit up under a big white moon...

And now we're arriving at the Villa Royale inn which has been featured on the cover of the book Distinguished Inns of North America. Legend has it that real-life princesses, writers, Hollywood actors, and others have stayed there to get away from it all...

We're entering the gorgeous courtyard...

Where a beautiful fountain beckons...

And the pool is all lit up for an evening swim...

The outdoor fireplace was adorned for the holidays...

And the little white lights twinkled romantically under the stars...

Let's open the door to the magical dining area lobby...

Where our table elegantly awaits. The Europa restaurant is FAB! It's an experience, not a dinner!

If you'd like to stay at the Villa Royale inn--(We didn't stay overnight there but the manager let me snap this pix.)--They have a variety of impeccably charming rooms like this one...

Where both cozy and sophisticated meet. Don't you LOVE that combo?

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
