For Escaping the NY Noise: Mediterranean-Style Palm Springs Retreat Korakia Pensione

Short List / Artful, Optimistic, and Elegantly Simple

A peaceful Palm Springs getaway destination.

Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs is the most perfect and peaceful getaway! The Mediterranean-style retreat, restored in 1989 and housed in two historic villas, allows me to get out of the New York City noise. I plan on visiting again before the end of year.

Restored in 1989, Dar Marroc was renamed Korakia (Greek for "crow") and crafted into a Mediterranean-style resort. The resort, now housed in two lovingly restored historic villas, rests on 1.5 lush acres, consisting of bungalows, guesthouses, gardens and pools. — Restored in 1989, Dar Marroc was renamed Korakia (Greek for “crow”) and crafted into a Mediterranean-style resort.
