Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens - Arts organization in San Clemente - 415 Avenida Granada, USA

The Casa is beautifully kept and the gardens are lovely! The volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the casa as well as the history of San Clemente. The views of the ocean were so pretty! We really enjoyed the gardens and the lovely architecture. Great location and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended 👍👍

It houses a beautiful gardens, a view of the ocean, and a small space for art exhibits. Pay small admission fee. Since due to recent developments, most of the access were closed. So suggest one can visit post construction.

Casa Romántica is a magical place for photography of any kind, especially engagement and wedding! The spaces are beautiful and well kept. I recommend booking a weekday for a quieter experience. Walk down to the pier for a change of scenery afterwards!

Historical San Clemente home with beautiful gardens, a view of the ocean, and a small space for art exhibits. Current exhibit is California places from past artists compared to a contemporary local artist. Well worth the small admission fee.

We have visited the beautiful gardens many times at Casa Romantica and had heard that they sustained damage from the heavy rains earlier in 2023. The aerial photo shows the extent of the damage to the rear building and the hillside. So sad, but we hope they will be able to rebuild it. The flowers were still very pretty.

One of my favorite things to do is go to historical estates with gardens and this one did not disappoint. Ole Hanson was the former mayor of Seattle (the anarchists hated him and sent him a mail bomb to let him know!) who ended up moving to California where he established San Clemente. The grounds are meticulously maintained. Volunteers, I’m assuming, who were working, were lovely. And the view!

Absolutely stunning views, it’s such a tranquil place, there’s a path to walk along to see the beautiful gardens. It’s the perfect place for a quiet date, it was also very sunny. We took water and some light snacks. There’s plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the breeze and beautiful views.

Beautiful Architecture! A good visit for some local history!
