About this villa rental

Some homes give you a view. Colina gives you the whole hillside. Set high above Murrieta with sweeping mountain and vineyard scenery, this Mediterranean-style retreat is built for groups who want space to gather, play, and stretch the day from poolside mornings to firepit sunsets without losing the privacy of a true Southern California escape.

Inside, the home keeps the group connected with large, sunlit spaces, hardwood floors, soft furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that pull the mountain views into nearly every room. The main living area centers around a 100-inch home theater-style TV with an in-wall sound system, while the kitchen and dining areas make group meals easy with generous seating, warm cabinetry, and plenty of room to move between cooking, snacking, and settling in. The game and theater spaces bring the energy with a pool table, projector screen, air hockey, shuffleboard, arcade-style fun, and room for everyone to hang out when the night moves inside. A Tesla charger adds extra convenience for guests driving in for wine country weekends, family trips, or longer Southern California stays.

Six bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms give the group plenty of room to spread out without losing the home’s easy flow. Every bedroom has mountain views, so mornings start with the scenery before the day even gets moving.

Outside is where Colina really earns its name. Start the day by the pool, slip into the hot tub, or putt around on the green while the hills stretch out below. The pool area is set up for more than just swimming, with a Sonance Garden Series outdoor music system and nine speakers that connect by Bluetooth, so the whole space can shift from quiet lounge mode to afternoon gathering without missing a beat. By sunset, the alfresco dining table, hammocks, firepit, outdoor ping pong, and wide lawn give the group every reason to stay outside a little longer.

Colina sits in a scenic Murrieta hillside setting where the views are the main event — rolling mountains, vineyard scenery, and wide-open skies all around — while the best of the region stays within easy reach. Point the day toward Temecula Wine Country for tastings and long lunches, head into town for restaurants and everyday essentials, or keep things simple with a pool day, game night, and dinner outside. Whether the plan is wine tasting, celebrating, or just letting the whole group disappear into the hills for a few days, Colina makes the getaway feel easy from the first sunset to the last.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

There’s a lot to see in this town and even more to drink. Our suggestion? A tour at one of the local wineries so you and your group can sample a diverse range of local flavors. For something less intoxicating but equally fun, visitors can berry-pick at local farms and taste the fruits of their labor. Hot air-ballooning is a stunning way to see the rolling hills of Southern California wine country from every angle and is one of Temecula’s most sought-after attractions.

This place was stunning! We had so much fun. We went for my birthday party as a group of 14 people and this was enough space for us all. It was rainy a couple of the nights we were there so the hot tub was super nice! With it being the off season we could've paid to heat the pool but decided against it. The pool was basically an ice bath but we made due. The biggest complaints we had about the space was the grill didn't really work and there wasn't enough kitchen towels. We made a lot of meals at the house and all the pans and utensils we needed were there. Evening the extra seasonings were nice. There just wasn't enough towels to keep up with all the dishes we were making. I would absolutely stay here again though. I slept in the primary bedroom and it was gorgeous. It doesn't really show but one of the other rooms is basically another primary that's just a little smaller. It worked out great for the 2 birthday people to get their own space. The game room was also super cool! We loved love loved the view. Thanks to the hosts for always being so responsive!

The hosts were fantastic! This property is absolutely breathtaking! It feels like you are on top of the world. The house is very spacious, so much so that it feels like you’re alone in the house when you’re in one of the first floor master bedrooms or the upstairs room. The pool and pool area are look exactly like the pictures, if not better in person. The jacuzzi lid is awkward and needs two people. The views and vibe of the place are so relaxing. Everyone enjoyed the game room. This property is beautiful and secluded. The furniture isn’t too comfortable and there are somethings that were needing maintenance but it didn’t take from the awesomeness of the house. We would love to stay here again for sure!!

Location was beautiful.

The listing looks amazing, but the house is actually far more impressive! The property location and the views are astonishing. You will be blown away as you drive up to the house and walk through the front door. The house is in great shape and has plenty of areas for entertainment activities and for relaxation, and was plenty big enough for our group of 17.
