As Seen on TV: Rent These Gorgeous Small Screen Settings
Let’s face it; everything on TV or in the movies always seems better, probably because it is. The clothes are nicer, the homes bigger, and the people are more beautiful. While we can’t help you with the clothes or good looks, we can help you shack up like some of your favorite onscreen characters. From the honeymoon house in “Twilight” to the Kardashians’ Miami mansion, anyone can have a made-for-TV vacation by staying in any of these six famous homes featured in TV and film.
What: “Entourage” Retreat
Where: Los Angeles, California
Like the men in the hit show Entourage, you too can live large with your party posse. The Villa Sophia was featured in the last scene of the last episode of “Entourage” as Ari’s getaway on Italy’s Almafi Coast. In real life, it’s located in the celebrity-filled hills of Los Feliz in L.A. From the bed of your $457-a-night, one-bedroom guesthouse on the property, you look out over an emerald-tiled pool with a view of downtown Los Angeles in the background.
