I have visited Casa Romantica in the past with friends and my hubby. This week we took our senior citizens group (of 18) there for an outing. Joanne was our tour guide.

Next time your in San Clemente check out this little museum and gardens. It’s small, so a one hour visit is all you need.

Casa Romantica is a slice of heaven. Nestled above the beach and pier the view is idilic and at sunset it takes your breath away. A center of cultural arts for San Clemente and a historic landmark this is a little gem not to be missed..

The view was great, as were the grounds, the building, and the history! Be sure to get the guided tour.

We have been here several times and love how they remodeled yet kept the old. Its historical and there is always some historical show going on to see and speakers and events. Went to a wedding here once and it was beautiful with the ocean view and even the train sounds coming through below. call for an update on events

This is a historical home...you must tour it to learn the history of San Clemente and its founder as well as other southern California towns. The home overlooks the ocean and is a gorgous view, and the flower gardens are lovely. They are open limited hours.

Up overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The wedding was at Sunset, and it was perfect! No bride could want more. Dining was outdoors in back, but the weather was warm. Magical night!

Great idea to maintain and share this beautiful Casa Romantica as a cultural center. The garden could be more flourished with different ornamental plants. This will give even more the romantic touch! Aline Juillerat

A little bit of old California..when you visit the "Casa" of the founder of San Clemente..a great place to wander in the garden with terrific San Clemente pier views and if you are looking for a great place to hold a wedding ..this is it!
