The ultimate writer's & thinker's retreat. Impeccable attention to detail, great collection of books, steps away from the stunning shared swimming pool & hot tub at The Sea of Tranquility. Enjoy perfect quiet & solitude, or meet the host, who lives in the main house a few hundred yards away. Tao Ruspoli's always evolving desert compound is located a mile & 1/2 up a dirt road, on 6 acres, adjoining 100s of acres of gov.t land. (INQUIRE ABOUT BOOKING ENTIRE PROPERTY Sleeps 7. ~$1500/night.) The space So, so romantic...and fun, and luxurious, and beautiful. The library is very private and separate from the rest of the compound. So you can either retreat or engage with others by the pool. There are lots of hikes in the hills behind the property, with miles and miles of government land as beautiful as anything in the park. Full kitchen, luxurious bathroom, with double shower and enormous separate bathtub. Nobody under 18 is allowed on the property. Pool and jacuzzi is 80 feet long. Ideal for soaking, sunbathing, and swimming laps. Pool area is clothing optional. Most go naked in the hot tub (which will be hot at sunset and into evening, year round.) We try to cultivate an atmosphere of freedom, relaxation, creative community, and communion with nature. There are very few rules here, but here are some general guidelines: Please be as clean as possible when entering the water (especially no oils, sun screen etc. wipe any dirt off your feet.) If you make your way over to the main house, please be careful that doors are properly shut and that the cat doesn't get out! Very open, liberal environment, but of course please be calm, kind, and respectful to all. We get many return visitors and we have to remind ourselves some of our dearest friends were once Airbnb guests. That said, we also enjoy and respect people’s right to a private experience. Please do the same. Feel free to write me with any questions, be sure to read the reviews, and I hope to see you soon:) PS: Yes, there is a fire pit, but please only use if there is absolutely no wind and it’s not too hot and dry out. Bring your own wood. Registration number CESTRP-2021-01532
