Well wonder no longer as through Schofield’s you can live like the greats for a week or more in Elizabeth Taylor’s swanky Casa Elizabeth Luxury Estate in Palm Springs for £372 per person per week, which is a steal considering it’s Elizabeth Taylor’s estate!
Perhaps you’d rather Merv Griffin’s palatial estate in La Quinta, complete with its own private pond and equestrian outfitting, perfect for horse lovers. Spread over 39 acres of privately owned land which costs £1,355 per person per week to stay there and sleeps up to 20 – perfect for a larger family gathering or family reunion!
If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, what about staying in a sprawling estate once owned by Barbara Streisand, Orson Wells, and even David Bowie? This estate, nestled on the hillside overlooking famous downtown Hollywood has been home to several well-known celebrities such as those mentioned as well as Frank Sinatra and Rita Hayworth and comes with an impressive lagoon, four bedrooms and a jacuzzi. Perfect for a smaller group of people up to 8 for £455 a week each. California is most certainly home to a number of these great options for living like a star.
