Inside Drake’s Luxurious $13,000-a-Night Airbnb

“Experience inviting Italian elegance in Beverly Hills at Villa Grande Bellezza,” reads the Airbnb description of this L.A. mansion where Drake recently laid his head. “This newly built, European-inspired vacation rental features stunning architecture, custom finishes and more than 11,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.”

“The stone-paved motor court, formal gardens and wrought-iron gates outside Villa Grande Bellezza set the tone for its beautifully appointed interiors,” declares the listing of the home’s grand entrance.

While construction continues on Drake’s new mega-mansion in Toronto’s posh Bridle Path neighbourhood, the “Hotline Bling” rapper has been enjoying the California sunshine while lounging poolside at the gorgeous infinity pool at his six-bedroom, six-bathroom, 11,000-square-foot Airbnb rental.

The view from the infinity pool, which offers unspoiled panoramic views of rugged Benedict Canyon.

Given the consistently beautiful California weather and the array of outdoor lounges available at the home, there’s hardly even a reason to go inside when greeted by this outdoor entertaining area, boasting a kitchenette, bar and barbecue.

This covered outdoor dining area, accessed from the house via glass doors, offers “the ultimate in alfresco entertaining,” notes the listing.

The outdoor lounge boasts bar seating, an array of comfy couches arranged around a large fireplace and even a flatscreen TV – but why would anyone want to watch TV with a view like that as competition?

The pathway leading to the infinity pool and the gorgeous views beyond.

The meticulously landscaped grounds create a sense of calm serenity just beyond the alfresco dining area.

This beautifully illuminated backyard fountain is the centrepiece of the grounds’ formal gardens, complementing the home’s wrought-iron architectural details.

Entering the home, the first thing that greets the eyes is this formal foyer, with a gently winding staircase flanked by wrought-iron railings leading to the home’s upper levels.

The all-white living room features comfortable seating arranged around the fireplace, showcasing the home’s architectural detailing, including paneled walls and dentil moldings.

With vaulted ceilings and a huge centre island with bar-style seating (and built-in wine refrigerator), the all-white kitchen is a stunner, boasting thick marble countertops and backsplash throughout.

The open-concept kitchen is spacious and airy, flowing seamlessly into the casual eating area that adjoins the kitchen, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows.

The lounge area is one of the most spectacular rooms in the house, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a marble-topped wet bar, a grand piano and French doors opening to the outdoor living spaces.

Outfitted with 12 plush leather recliners, the home theatre at Villa Grande Bellezza is the ideal spot for Drake to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster with 11 of his closest pals.

The flow throughout the home is on display in this luxurious seating area that opens to the alfresco dining area outside while adjoining the formal dining room inside.

The home’s formal dining room comfortably seats 12, and it’s a real stunner, boasting meticulous moldings, neoclassical columns and a dramatic fireplace.

This bright and sunny bedroom – one of six in the home – opens to its own private balcony, and also adjoins a spacious ensuite bathroom.

Boasting a deep soaker tub and relaxing lounge area, the home’s attention to detail is on display in the master bathroom and its intricate floor pattern.

Another of the home’s six bedrooms, which also opens to a balcony via French doors to offer a stunning view of Benedict Canyon.

You just know that Drizzy popped a cork or two in this fully stocked, temperature-controlled wine cellar and wine bar.

Adjoining the wine cellar is this marble-topped wet bar that opens to a games room.

Each of the bedrooms features its own ensuite bathroom, with this one continuing the attention to detail found throughout the rest of the home.

This top-floor bedroom suite features an adjoining sitting area outfitted with a loveseat and plush chairs, with French doors opening to a private balcony offering a spectacular view to drink in.

This bathroom is outfitted with a walk-in marble shower, along with marble flooring to create a relaxing, spa-like feel.

This relaxing sauna area boasts floor-to-ceiling marble and a glass-doored entrance to the sauna.

While it would be tough to think about work while enjoying a home like this, in case the need does arise to take care of some business, then this is the room in which you can do it in style!

With more than 11,000 square feet of living space and comfortable gathering areas both inside and out, Villa Grande Bellezza is an Airbnb rental like no other.

The bedrooms on the upper floor share this expansive patio that overlooks the backyard infinity pool, taking in the panoramic vista beyond.

Lit up at night, the hot tub and infinity pool are a glorious sight to behold.

“Thank you for the gift of this home @airbnb,” wrote Drake on Instagram after his sojourn in the home. “Great stay!”
