Timed to the run of performances of Love Actually Live at The Wallis, you can go full holiday rom-com mode by staying in a Love Actually-themed villa.
A year-round Hollywood Hills rental has embraced the magic of the beloved 2003 film and transformed into a holiday haven that is available for rent from Nov. 22 to Dec. 20. This picturesque rental estate envelopes visitors in luxury, promising an unforgettable experience for travelers to Los Angeles and locals alike.
Also in commemoration of the iconic movie's 20th anniversary, Amy Neunsinger and Kate Martindale of Rose & Mortar and Magnolia Network’s Capturing Home have artfully transformed the sprawling villa into this whimsical winter wonderland.
Drawing inspiration from the movie's European locations, the villa seamlessly transports guests across the pond without ever leaving sunny southern California. Lose yourself among antiques, imported art, and lush greenery that adorn each room. A towering 25-foot Christmas tree anchors the grand room, further enhancing the villa's jubilant spirit.
Right in the epicenter of Hollywood, guests truly experience European countryside charm.
The stay begins with a quintessential British tea service— the perfect pairing for cozying up to a viewing of the film, Love Actually. Featuring a selection of Harney & Sons teas, bites include traditional cucumber sandwiches, biscuits and jam. Meanwhile, the bar has a curated tasting setup for the renowned London cocktail, the gin & tonic, featuring Tanqueray London Dry Gin and a choice of three tonics from The London Essence Co.: Original Indian, Blood Orange & Elderflower and Grapefruit & Rosemary
As the centerpiece of the stay, guests will get to experience the story of Love Actually in a whole other format because it also includes two orchestra seats at the multimedia concert Love Actually Live, which brings the musical magic of the film to life on stage.
The enchanting experience continues beyond the villa walls with a bevy of holiday activities. Pamper body and soul with private massages, a yoga session, chef-prepared meals and premium wines arranged by your personal concierge. Whether a gift to yourself or that special someone, the Love Actually Villa promises a holiday hideaway you'll cherish for Christmases to come.
