A fragrant romantic country estate in high style is Filoli. After the 1906 earthquake, many wealthy San Francisco families relocated to the Peninsula and built made to measure large estates. Filoli is the last of these estates, built by Mr and Mrs William Bowers Bourn II, who lived here between 1917 and 1936. Today, the estate is open to the public and features the grand cinematic quality and sweeping views of neoclassical gardens of the renaissance and space for explorers of all ages. The name itself: Fi: fight for a just cause, LO: love your fellow man and Li: live a good life offers a fascinating la dolce vita for people who want to live inside a Matisse painting. Our son loves to run in the big gardens encompassing approximately 16 acres - that's the size of 12 football fields. The villa itself has 36,000 square feet and played a role in numerous Hollywood motion pictures. Nurture your agrarian roots with plants and wildlife including wild Peacocks and Turkeys that freely roam the land. There's no place like Filoli for urbane renewal in the most beautiful garden in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
