As If you are driving on the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Monica heading north the first prominent Landmark you see is this great Villa on a high promontory. Oil magnate J. Paul Getty had his ranch house on this bluff overlooking the Pacific. This Malibu Villa was modeled after Villa dei Papiri in Italy.

10 Comments on The Getty Villa in Malibu a Must See Destination! It's Free!
That is a very grand place. Im sorry I missed seeing it the years I lived there. But I never went to Hearst Castle either... I tended more to Morro Bay park and beaches and Sequoyia or Yosemite for sightseeing. Nothing is grander than hiking up the falls at Yosemite and looking out thru that mist.
Endre, I see you have a new little raindrop now... I guess we finally made it to the pictures parts. :)
Hi Endre:
That must be beautiful inside. Just by looking at the exterior architecture of that structure!
Gail, I see you are moving up in the world of AR two recognitions? Is that like in the millitary an award?LOL .Anyway it is never too late to visit:))
Toula, Just as an example inside, I will mention what they call the Triclinium( 1st century roman dining room copy) they left the space vacant so you could appreciate the intricate geometric marble desings on the floor and walls as well as the grapevine painted ceiling.I could go on and on.
Many, many years ago I had the opportunity to visit the Getty Mansion. It's really quite extraordinary. Not bad for a starter home, huh?!!!
Endre - I do know how beautiful it look there.
Craig, there are two Malibu Homes that are under one million : 1. is up on Latigo Cyn been on the Market for a while and another one near it a Tax Sale the rest are all above $1Million not counting the Mobile Homes. This one is not bad:)))
Cheryl I should take pictures from the inside next time.
It looks beautiful. Almost like something you'd see in Southern Italy.
Cindy you are absolutely right id does look like an Italian Villa
