It’s comforting to know that superstars such as Toronto’s own Drake will turn to Airbnb for a place to stay when away from home. What sets Drake’s Airbnb apart from the ones most of us stay in, though, is the fact that it’s a six-bedroom, 11,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion with a stunning view, luxurious amenities and a $13,882-per-day price tag.
Villa Grande Bellezza
“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.”
Welcome!
“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.
Infinity Pool
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.
Panoramic Views
The view from the infinity pool, which offers unspoiled panoramic views of rugged Benedict Canyon.
Outdoor Living
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.
Alfresco Dining
This covered outdoor dining area, accessed from the house via glass doors, offers “the ultimate in alfresco entertaining,” notes the listing.
Backyard Chill
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?

Illuminated Fountain
This beautifully illuminated backyard fountain is the centrepiece of the grounds’ formal gardens, complementing the home’s wrought-iron architectural details.
Fab Foyer
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.
Formal Living Room
The all-white living room features comfortable seating arranged around the fireplace, showcasing the home’s architectural detailing, including paneled walls and dentil moldings.
Marble-Clad Kitchen
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.
Open Concept
The open-concept kitchen is spacious and airy, flowing seamlessly into the casual eating area that adjoins the kitchen, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows.
Lounge
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.
Home Theatre
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.
Luxurious Living
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.
Bright Bedroom
This bright and sunny bedroom – one of six in the home – opens to its own private balcony, and also adjoins a spacious ensuite bathroom.
Master 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.

Adjoining the wine cellar is this marble-topped wet bar that opens to a games room.
Bathroom Detail
Each of the bedrooms features its own ensuite bathroom, with this one continuing the attention to detail found throughout the rest of the home.
