Designer Estate with Pool under Hollywood Sign

Homesharing Registration No: HSR21-001407

Just chosen as one of the best vacation rentals in all of LA by Urban Retreats! Welcome to Your Hollywood Retreat - Where Luxury Meets Lifestyle!

"This is the best vacation rental I have ever stayed in. Rudolfo’s home was amazing and the perfect spot for relaxing. He did such a great job designing the space to ensure not only did it look beautiful, but every piece of furniture was comfortable and functional. Our stay at his home was exactly what we needed after our busy week." Teddy, SF

Nestled in the heart of the iconic Hollywood Hills just under the Hollywood Sign, is a masterpiece of high-end design and sophisticated living. From the moment you step through the door, you'll be captivated by the seamless blend of modern elegance and timeless luxury.

Key Features:

Chic Interiors: Step into a world of refined style and comfort. Every corner of this residence is adorned with high-end finishes, from the gleaming wide plank bleached oak floors to the custom-designed furniture and art collected over decades. The attention to detail is evident in every choice made to create a space that is as visually stunning as it is comfortable.

"Rudolfo was a terrific host, and his property is unmatched. The photos truly do not do this home and its yards / pool justice. The curation of architectural materials, furnishings, wall art, sculptures, books, linens, literally everything was top notch, and well curated. The home was spotless and well cared for." Amelia

Designer Kitchen: The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring italian Calacutta Viola marble counters and top-of-the-line appliances. Whether you're preparing a quick snack or a gourmet meal, this kitchen is equipped to meet the highest standards.

Luxurious Bedrooms: Retreat to any of the 4 bedrooms, where plush bedding and carefully selected furnishings create an oasis of tranquility. Designer touches, such as bespoke lighting fixtures and premium linens, ensure a restful and indulgent night's sleep.

"The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The photos do not do this home justice. The views from the top patio are amazing." Krista, TX

Artful Living Spaces: The living spaces are designed for both relaxation and entertainment. Chic and inviting, the open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living and dining areas, providing a perfect setting for socializing or unwinding after a day of exploring the city.

Spa-like Bathrooms: Indulge in the spa-like bathrooms adorned with marble accents, rainfall showers, and modern fixtures. Every detail has been considered to provide a luxurious and rejuvenating experience.

"There is a cafe and market in walking distance and the Hollywood strip is a longer walk but doable. It was central to much of what we had planned to do in L.A. And while we enjoyed the things we did while there, just being in this home — cooking, swimming, socializing etc — was the highlight of the trip. Hope we’re lucky enough to return one day! Thanks, Rudolfo!" Nixie, Portl

Outdoor Elegance:
Step outside onto the private terraces where high-end design extends to the outdoors. Stylish outdoor furniture, a huge salt water pool and hot tub, and breathtaking views create an enchanting atmosphere for al fresco dining or simply soaking in the California sun. There are terraces, balconies and outdoor living spaces everywhere you look, as well as over 500 plants and trees on 1/4 acre. The setting is tranquil yet you are literally minutes to Universal, Warner Brothers and Disney Studios, downtown LA and Hollywood and all that Los Angeles has to offer. Perfect for movie and business execs or families wanting luxury accommodations while vacationing.

Your Hollywood Experience Awaits:
Book your stay and experience Hollywood living at its finest. My commitment to high-end design ensures that every moment of your stay is marked by sophistication, comfort, and the allure of a truly luxurious escape.

Hollywood visit

We had such a wonderful time in this gorgeous villa. The house is perfectly appointed and in a wonderful neighborhood. Unfortunately it rained every day we were there so we weren't able to enjoy the beautiful pool and outdoor area. Looks like we will have to have a return visit!!!

Dream vacation at Villa Alesis

Every corner of this magnificent property is thoughtfully designed and beautifully decorated. Highlights of Villa Alesia: 3+outdoor living areas gave us plenty of room to spread out in luxury, the heated pool and hot tub were relaxing and refreshing after a 'hard' day of shopping, beach and touring around LA, an amazing kitchen, warmly decorated rooms and the softest linen! We were so spoiled - it will be hard to stay anywhere else in the future. Did I mention that Rudi (our host) was so attentive! Everything exceeded our expectations. Perfect property, wonderful vacation. We'll be back.

Absolutely Perfect Stay

The Villa Alesia is nothing short of magical. The decor is world class, the setting is spectacular, the pool is glorious, and there were even Meyer lemons in the large yard for my children to taste. The house was quiet and lovely and had everything we needed for our family of 4. We especially loved dining in the front courtyard each night, listening to the breeze and the peaceful sound of wind chimes. My 3 and 7 year olds adored the nice, warm pool, complete with almost constant butterfly sightings on the lush hillside just above. The bedrooms were each more stunning than the next, and the beds were extra comfy. We could not have been happier or more comfortable during our stay, and can't wait to return to this very special spot on our next trip to LA (our old hometown).

Exceptional Stay for our Family

We had high expectations for this property looking at the photos and the description- and the real thing was even better! The home and grounds were beautiful; so clean and stylish and yet comfortable for our family to gather/lounge/be together. The outside areas were heavenly- felt so very secluded. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our Thanksgiving meal. The location is top notch- great walking, close to everything we needed (grocery store, restaurants, Universal Studios, shopping, etc. Beyond ideal. Thank you Thank you!

Dream Location

This property was amazing - location, design, amenities and cleanliness. Everything in this home was top of the line including the new pool and hot tub. The property sits below the historic Hollywood sign and could not have been a more ideal location when visiting Los Angeles. The owner and property manager were both incredibly nice and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Stay in a Gorgeous Home

My group of 7 friends could not have been more blown away by our stay at Rudi's magnificent home. The house is truly a work of art - every space you're in and everywhere your eye may wander is such a pleasure to behold. Learned upon arriving that this was all Rudi's doing himself and we couldn't stop talking about how good of a job he's done. The property itself was gorgeous as well, felt like a garden of eden nestled into the hollywood hills. Rudi was a great host, super communicative when we had questions, and very flexible with early arrivals and late departures - also had a great recommendation for a restaurant that we ended up visiting multiple times. Overall, we all really felt like we discovered a gem with this house and couldn't have been happier with our stay. Thanks Rudi!

About the host

Hosted by Rudolfo Polak

Host profile image
I am a real estate developer that specializes in restoring bespoke historic homes. My family lives in Austria but I grew up on the west coast. I have renovated 29 homes to date and I love sharing these homes with guests.

Why they chose this property

Beachwood Canyon is one of the most famous neighborhoods in the country and the home of The Hollywood Sign.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the original homes built when the Hollyood Sign said Hollywoodland. TJ Scott was a premier architect in 1927 and he was commissioned by a lady named Alesia, hence the name Villa Alsesia was born.
