My tour passed the Roman Pool so fast but it was stunning. Wish I had more time to look at it

Perhaps the crown jewel of the Hearst Castle. Absolutely stunning and will be a highlight of your tour at the Hearst Castle. Awe-inspiring and majestic, truly a one of a kind experience. Though parts of the ceiling tiling was down for renovations, it did not detract from the grandeur of this space

This place is unbelievable! You HAVE to visit. I’d say that this is one of the only places I have ever visited, that keeps popping up again and leaving me awe inspired. Definitely one to visit, take your time and don’t rush, take in the sights and the views from the castle too.
