korakia pensione
Palm Springs is just 2 hours from Los Angeles, but on arrival feels like an other-worldly dreamscape of palms and sunshine. We spent our visit at Korakia Pensione, in their Limnos room. The property is divided into Moroccan and Mediterranean-style restored villas. It was love at first sight, only reinforced by the afternoon mint tea service. The courtyard overflows with citrus blossoms, olive trees, oleander bushes, date palms, and bougainvillea…
The adobe-style Limnos room is the kind of space that gives you a good feeling. The earthy stone shower, white stucco walls, carved wooden mirror, Otis Redding on the record player, french doors that open to the terrace...
