Carolands Chateau reviews
6I was so blessed to tour this beautiful mansion today. I’ve been wanting to tour this mansion for the longest time after watching a documentary on KQED. I enjoyed the tour immensely! Our tour guide Paul was amazing! He’s so passionate and extremely knowledgeable about its history and architecture. I could listen to him for hours! I love hearing all the details, stories, and insight. I was so mesmerized by the house and Paul’s engaging stories and wealth of information that I forgot to thank him at the end of the tour. I also would like to give him a gratuity at the end of the tour but not sure if that would have been proper since it was not mentioned. Overall, this tour was absolutely worth my time. Paul is such a wonderful tour guide. There’s an understated elegance in him that exudes classiness and a genteel spirit.
This week we went on a tour of the Carolands Chateau, a 46,050-square-foot, 4.5 floor, 98 room mansion on 5.83 acres in Hillsborough, California. 17 bedrooms were just for staff. A beautiful example of one of the great estates on the pennisula along with Filoli Historic House & Garden which is less than 8 miles away.
Our tour guide was very knowledgable and passionate about the architecture and history of the home. He did go on a little long about nooks & crannies in the home which could have been condensed. Otherwise it is a fabulous site to visit and I am so glad we had the privilege of visiting.
Tips: Must make reservations in advance. Albeit interesting the tour is very long. Make sure to eat beforehand and where comfortable shoes so you can go up and down stairs.
Paul our docent was amazingly knowledgeable! Best tour! Totally enjoyable! Carolands it's a Gemini our state!
My mom's name is Miss Longoria and we are in front of the beautiful historical mansion of Carolands Chateau. As of right now.
Patty Hearst can kidnap me and keep me captive in this estate anytime she wants
An absolutely gorgeous home in Hillsborough that has been incredibly well restored - even surpassing it's original beauty. The 2h 15m tour covered the lower floor cooking areas, and proceeded to the second floor with the amazing library. Proceeded to the upstairs and saw many of the guest bedrooms as well as Ms. Pullman's room. All beautifully decorated for the holidays. Amazing! Reservations are required but the tour was free.
