Imagine basking in the California sunshine, surrounded by the lush beauty of Filoli’s historic gardens, with the inviting blue water of the pool shimmering nearby. This summer, Filoli offers an extraordinary opportunity to relax, unwind, and enjoy the quintessential pool party experience like never before.
Nestled in Woodside, California, Filoli is renowned for its stunning Georgian-style mansion and 16 acres of exquisite gardens. This historical estate, built in 1915, offers a glimpse into the elegance of a bygone era. Until now, the beautiful pool, a central feature of the estate, has been an exclusive view for visitors strolling through the gardens. This summer, however, Filoli transforms its serene pool area into a vibrant oasis for guests to enjoy.
