A stylist’s desert retreat in California
Sleeps 6; €382 per night via Welcome Beyond
If this home looks magazine-ready, it’s because the Morongo Valley home belongs to a former stylist and is conceived as a liveable art gallery. The High Desert hideaway combines midcentury interiors with Moroccan rugs and baskets and Californian furniture and ceramics. Outside the Adobe house, there’s a plunge pool with High Desert views and cacti-dotted grounds with views of the mountains. Take a tour.

Matthew Lloyd Architects designed this apartment on the top floor of a church tower in London’s Hackney Wick. Aptly named The Tower, the residential structure is part of several Anglican church buildings that were refurbished and converted by the architects in 2014.
