If you can handle the Korakia's rigid deposit-cancellation policy, you're in for a special stay at this Greek-Moroccan oasis, a few blocks from Palm Canyon Drive. This former artist's villa from the 1920s draws a hip international crowd of artists, writers, and musicians. The simply furnished rooms and spacious suites are peaceful and private, surrounded by flagstone courtyards and flowering gardens. Rooms are divided between the main house, a second restored villa across the street, and guest bungalows. Most have kitchens; many have fireplaces. All beds are blessed with thick duvets, and the windows are shaded by flowing white-canvas Mediterranean-style draperies. You also get a sumptuous breakfast served in your room or poolside. Korakia is Greek for "crow," and a tile mosaic example graces the pool bottom. Note: You must pay a deposit to book a room, there's a 2-night minimum on weekends, and you have to give at least 2 weeks' cancellation notice (45 days' advance notice for holidays) or you'll lose your deposit.
