Castillo de la Esperanza

A storied Mediterranean estate in the heart of Hollywood Hills, blending Old Hollywood elegance with modern luxury, panoramic city views, and a secluded oasis for unforgettable entertaining and serene living.

Your day at Castillo de la Esperanza begins with the sun casting golden light over the Hollywood Hills, a stunning scene you can take in from the grand terrace as you sip your morning coffee. Stepping through the intricate iron doors into the main house, you feel the timeless allure of Old Hollywood mixed with modern comfort, each room brimming with character and charm. The chef’s kitchen, with its cozy breakfast nook, is the perfect spot to start your day, perhaps preparing a leisurely brunch with friends who marvel at the vintage-inspired details and hand-laid Spanish tiles.

Later, you wander down to the terraced grounds, where a heated infinity pool and spa beckon. The rustic poolside pavilion offers shade and privacy, making it an ideal retreat for relaxing or hosting exclusive gatherings. You take a refreshing swim, savoring the surrounding gardens that evoke the romance of a Mediterranean villa, and let the scenic city and mountain views sweep you into a state of pure relaxation. As the day progresses, the separate two-story guest house offers a private space for creative pursuits or an impromptu meeting. The upper level’s soaring ceiling and chic living area invite inspiration, while the wine cellar and gym below provide the ultimate indulgence and wellness space.

Evening arrives, and you host an intimate dinner party in the formal dining room, where the ambiance is set with vaulted ceilings and views of the city lights. The meal extends to one of the estate’s elegant patios for alfresco dining under the stars, surrounded by lush courtyards and softly bubbling fountains. As night falls, you retreat to your primary suite, where “Romeo and Juliet” sliding doors open to the dazzling cityscape below. Watching the fireworks over Universal Studios’ Hogwarts Castle from your own backyard is the perfect end to a day that feels almost surreal—yet it’s simply life at Castillo de la Esperanza.
