Hi VB, If this is the pool, I can only imagine what the master bathroom is like!! Bet this is a great place to skinny dip..but thinking one might risk getting arrested. :)

Thanks for stopping by Leilani and what a beautiful place!

Hello Samantha and have you been there before?

And Joni you telling me that you wouldn't go skinny-dipping in this pool with your husband on a romantic evening with a glass of wine, some soft music playing, etc.?

Have you been there before Stacey, I don't remember if I asked you!

And Leolinda the pool up close and personal blows the photo away, if you look at the photo close I wasn't able to get the whole pool in the photo and I even used a wide angle lens, this pool is HUGE!

Vegas Bob,

That a very pretty pool; however, if I'm going to skinny dip, it's going to be out in the lake, in the dark with the stars glittering on the surface of the water so nobody can see me!

I would find the wallpaper too distracting to enjoy a skinny dip because I'd be thinking about some renovation project and I'd be staring at the ceiling thinking it needs painting.

VB - "Breathtaking" is what comes to mind - can't even imagine living like this and I don't have to  cause it won't happen in my lifetime - lol.

Hello Patricia and you have thrown a very funny twist into dipping in this beautiful pool, now VB on the other hand was always scared of dipping in lakes thinking some big fish would come along and help themselves to well ... I would say this on the net ... ;o)

And Rob you are so right in fact the statues around this pool are in the millions, some of them are very old and came from Rome, etc.

Hello Ellen and I really don't think there is any pool like this in America, there may be something similar in other parts of the world but I don't know for sure.

Kristine ... This pool and most of the Castle is Breathtaking and if you even have the chance to see the Hearst Castle try not to pass it up. I have been traveling past this Castle for over 30 years of my life and never went in to see it. So on my last visit to this part of California I made it a point to go. I went on 2 different tours 2 different days so I could see as many rooms, etc. as I could, two different cameras and a video camera in hand. And as for living like this in your life time, one never know, life is very mysterious ... ;o)
