Spectacular Style & Southern Charm
From East Coast to West, Mainland to the “other side of the pond”, our Splendid Summer Escapes have highlighted some incredible properties in both America and Europe alongside inspiration on dining with Petrossian. In our travels, we explored hidden gem destinations and private, exclusive getaways that are sure to astound any aspiring traveler.
With such wonderful experiences, we wanted to share two more properties from two of our favorite hosts in our final installment of the series, our Splendid Summer Escapes: Bonus Edition. Whether you’re looking for historical quiet southern charm or a sprawling desert hills retreat, these two properties have exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Storied History in a Quiet Escape
We head back to Tybee Island, Georgia for this historical home, dating back to 1898. Located on Officer’s Row, it housed army officers when Fort Screven was in operation. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been expertly decorated by Savannah's renowned interior designer and preservationist, Jane Coslick. This home exudes sophistication and elegance with a posh and artsy flair, and even boasts ownership in its past by the beloved musician, John Mellencamp.
This stunning, newly renovated, historically significant mansion is a masterpiece of design and comfort, perfectly situated in the charming Fort Screven area on the north side of the island. It is just a 5-minute stroll to the beach and steps away from charming local shops and restaurants. Enjoy the serene beauty of a picturesque park right across the street, adding to the tranquil and private ambience of this home. With its private pool and hot tub, exceptional kitchen, and two stunning wraparound porches, step back in time into the comfort and history of old Georgia.
Grab brunch in the kitchen and coffee on one of the many porches. Picnic by the pool, and dine in the dining room inside or at one of the dining tables outside depending on the weather. Pack your Petrossian Five Star Showcase, fit for a five star officer, and enjoy a caviar tasting alongside the views. Have some smoked duck breast and our crimson red rhubarb chutney delivered during your stay for a succulent snack or afternoon treat!
Divine Desert
Taking to the opposite side of the country, in this escape we’re exploring a divine desert getaway with views that are simply to die for. Luxurious in the style of the Gucci family, they also just so happen to be the owners of this home they’re graciously sharing through this exclusive listing known as the Desert Hills Retreat.
Expansive, stunning, and spacious are just a few of the words you can use to describe this location. Situated within a majestic & private desert mountain community with expansive views of the Coachella Valley, Desert Hills is a spectacular gated estate that can accommodate up to 20 guests in ultimate comfort. From the open sitting & dining rooms to the fully equipped kitchen, 10 stunning bedrooms across 3 homes on the property, outdoor pool & jacuzzi, tennis court, dedicated theater/educational space, and breathtaking scenery, plentiful amenities abound throughout the sprawling, 23-acre property.
This is the ideal destination to slip away to decompress, whether that means a romantic dip in the pool, or an intimate friend’s getaway. Guests who love to be active have choices of a tennis court on property, or many golf courses and hiking trails nearby. For when it is time to relax, there is nothing better than a nighttime jacuzzi, or enjoying a movie while snuggled in the theatre. But what’s really spectacular are the kitchens - yes more than one - which are perfect for preparing food or having a private chef prepare meals for you. Dine inside or out, all together or send the kids off to the recreational areas with its own kitchen while the adults dine on their favorite gourmet.
For a getaway this grand, simple simply will not do. This vacation is grand in all the best ways, from the Petrossian Grand Sliced Smoked Salmon to our Petrossian Grand Fête containing everything you need to host the ultimate cocktail party delivered right to the front door. Simply lift the lid and celebrate our signature gift box filled with a super abundance of Petrossian delicacies. And of course, a gathering such as this requires the absolute best of the best when it comes to caviar, our Special Reserve Kaluga Huso Hybrid. The pinnacle of taste and texture, a natural hybrid that combines the rich flavors of Beluga caviar with a clean, buttery opening, firm grains and a velvet finish that never ends.
With a select few batches, we focus all our expertise into maturing these beads, exceeding even our own expectations in hopes of earning the Special Reserve label. We can assure you that there is no finer caviar, and likely no finer desert retreat, so treat your loved ones and yourself to the absolute best of both with Petrossian at this Desert Hills getaway.
