Caroline DengJuly 9, 2015This place is what inspired the color "Filoli Green." The gardens and architecture of the estate are absolutely beautiful year-round, and the gift shop is very interesting to look at.
The Ritz-CarltonAugust 16, 2012One the USA’s finest remaining country estates, Filoli dates back to the early 20th century. The home & gardens of this 654-acre estate are recorded on the National Register of Historic Places.- Malou CarreonSeptember 6, 2013Watch the short film . Tour the house - love the floors & most things are original. Enjoy the breathtaking garden & relax at the cafe.
If you appriciate beauty, nature hike and fresh air, sign up for family dual membership $85/year. It's much worth it than just buying one time pass. But then, only if you envision urself goin often.
Stasha PowellNovember 8, 2011Even if you don't pay to go into the buildings (although you should) you will be mesmerized by the gorgeous lush gardens. The views are transcendent. This would be a brilliant spot for a first date.
Diana ArzFebruary 15, 2015The most gorgeous gardens in the Bay Area. Don't forget to bring or charge your camera

Coldwell Banker - Northern CaliforniaAugust 10, 2012Construction began on Filoli in 1915 from designs by architect Willis Polk. This Georgian estate was named after William Bourn's motto: FIght for a just cause; LOve your fellow man; LIve a good life.- Jill KocherApril 5, 2010Early April Saturday, tulips & daffodils everywhere. Hours of trails. Off beaten path, few obnoxious tourists. Pricey at $15 per, but worth it. My 7yr old girl loved it. Read more

Cary LameyNovember 30, 2011Christmas at Filoli... My first time and we had to pay 25 dollars per person to shop. All rooms xmas decorated so not good for a first visit and to pay to shop? Not worth it. But beautiful grounds

"The food here is delicious; much better than what you might expect from a cafe on a property like Filoli. It’s not very expensive for the Bay Area, either, which is refreshing! They also have beer!"

"Bring a picnic and a blanket. Enjoy the beautiful view. If you are really quiet you'll be rewarded with the joy of watching several large bucks eating nearby. Beautiful relaxing place."
