Springtime is my favorite time of year to visit the Filoli Historic House and Garden. When the COVID-19 pandemic reached California in March of this year, visiting Filoli in the Springtime was not an option. By June, Filoli had reopened with reservations and masks required, as well as social distancing. I shared a few photos from my June 2020 visit to the Garden in my post, A Dose of Garden Therapy at Filoli.
Today, I’m sharing photos of the Filoli House that were taken in March of 2019. Isn’t that front entrance and Palladian door exquisite? Enjoy!

How gorgeous!
That is a beautiful entrance.
Thanks, Dan.
I saw that the gardens opened up again. Unfortunately it’s an hour’s drive from my house (at least) so I’m having trouble talking anyone into coming with me! Looking forward to your pictures.
Hi JT,
I’m about an hour south of Filoli. A friend and I met at Filoli. It’s hard to social distance in a car. The only time our masks were off was to eat lunch on the patio of the Cafe. It was wonderful to feel some sense of normal.
I’m thinking of visiting Hakone Gardens and Villa Montalvo for my next garden fixes. Stay well!
A beautiful door but a closed door. It was announced tonight that after being open for 3 weeks the schools are closing again
Hi Abrie, Sorry to hear bout the schools closing again. We are all on a roller coaster ride these days. Stay well, Donna
Whoa, that is one impressive stately entrance. Excellent shots! This sounds like a place I’d want to make a point of visiting if I was in the area…assuming we can ever travel again 😉
Thank you, Norm. If you are ever out this way, Filoli is lovely spot to visit. Donna
