Stradella Spanishin Bel Air, Los Angeles, California, USA

This gated contemporary Mediterranean estate sits on prime lower Stradella Road and is arranged to capture wide canyon, city, and ocean views. Sun-lit rooms with wood floors, French doors, and exposed beams create a warm, relaxed backdrop for a stay in the hills.

A dramatic two-story stairwell with beamed ceiling sits at the centre of the home, with an adjacent service bar that supports easy entertaining and movement between spaces. The main level includes comfortable living and dining areas that open out via French doors, connecting the interior to the patios and views.

The entire upper floor is dedicated to the owner’s retreat, providing a private level for the main bedroom suite. This area includes a large vaulted-ceiling sitting room, dual-sided fireplace, an oversized bathroom, and two view terraces, giving guests a spacious private zone to unwind above the rest of the house.

Outside, the resort-style yard is designed around the outlook. Extensive patios provide multiple seating and dining areas, while an infinity-edge pool and spa sit at the edge of the property to maximise the views. A BBQ station and a cabana with bathroom make it straightforward to spend long days outdoors without needing to return inside. There is also a large storage room under the rear patio.

This combination of full-floor primary suite, generous outdoor space, and layered views makes the property well suited to guests wanting a Bel Air-style retreat focused on relaxation and entertaining.
