Romantic Outdoors with Private Pool. Amazing location! Just read the reviews!

This romantic, Spanish get-away is situated near the foothills of Pasadena, 15 minutes from the famous Rose Bowl, Rose Parade, Rose Parade float viewing area and Old Town Pasadena.

Built in 1931, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been renovated to feature modern amenities without losing its old-world charm. This truly is your own private resort with a completely private backyard. The master bathroom has just be renovated to the highest level of design. In addition to three bedrooms there is a pull out bed available to you im the living room. You truly won't want to leave this Hacienda! The reviews tell it all.

For the coffee lovers there is a Keurig coffee maker. Prefer a latte or a mocha? We also have a Nepresso expresso machine with an frother.

For the chefs, there is a double oven, All-Clad cooking set, and anything else you would need to cook a wonderful meal. You are welcome to any of our spices that you may have forgotten to pick up at the store. Our kitchen has everything you will need. Want to BBQ? Well you're at the home. There's an outdoor built in BBQ hooked up to a gas line so you will never need to worry about your gas tank running low. The gas BBQ is the top of the line BBQ from BBQ'S Galore.

For the people who like to just simply pick up a book or drink a glass of wine with a loved one your hardest decision will be choosing the space. There are so many wonderful spaces to choose....sitting area by the outside fireplace, lounge chairs by the pool, dining table by the pool, dinning table in the courtyard, outside living room in the courtyard with a brand new gas fire pit that will keep you nice and warm in the cooler evenings or a cozy seat in the living room.

For those who love to hike, you are in the perfect spot. There are amazing hiking spots about a half mile north from the house.

For those who love a great nights sleep, the house has the top of the line Tempur-Pedic king size mattress in the master bedroom, top of the line traditional coil queen mattress in bedroom 2 and bedroom 3 also has a brand new heavenly bed mattress which is also a queen. The master bedroom also has an adjustable base perfect to watch a movie. All four beds have top quality bedding with down comforters, duvets and down pillows. You really won't want to get out of bed.

For those who love resort style living this is the perfect house. You'll have your own private resort complete with an outdoor fireplace, spa, pool, outside shower and bistro lights that makes you feel you're visiting a villa in France! Perfect for a romantic getaway or spending times with friends and family.

For the sight seeing adventurous traveler you'll love visiting all the exciting places In LA and Orange County you're at the perfect location. Think of this house as being in the middle of an equilateral triangle. You're at the epicenter of excitement! Yet nestled in a quiet neighborhood when you're done with the hustle and bustle of the city.

And lastly, for the food lovers, there is no other place than Pasadena. There are so many choices in restaurants you'll have a hard time deciding. There will be a book of recommendations that are my very favorites, however there's still so many I've yet to visit myself! You'll have access to the the local insider info on the "off the beaten path" places to go!

My goal is that you and your family have the most memorable vacation of all time. It really is a special place and you won't regret your stay at the Hacienda de Pasadena where there is something for everyone!

Great Stay
We were in town with family for a college graduation and needed a space to gather between events. This home was perfect. Spent all our time on the patio or in the pool! Plenty of room for 3 couples for the weekend.

Wedding Trip
This property is gorgeous and exactly what it looks like online. We were in town to attend my Granddaughter's wedding and needed a place that would accommodate all of our needs for dressing for that special day and this filled the billed perfectly. My great-granddaughter, who was the flower girl, loved the pool and it greatly helped to keep her calm and entertained in the days prior to the wedding. The property grounds were so well groomed, too. Thank you so much, Kris, for responding in a speedy manner when I had some questions, I would recommend this property for anyone who wants to enjoy a "home away from home".

Rose Bowl Family Stay
We loved our stay here! Kris was very accommodating and responsive in communication. The home was perfect for our family stay in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. We enjoyed cooking meals both inside and out, took advantage of the fire pits and hot tub. Loved our walks in the quiet neighborhood and a hike in Eaton Canyon nearby.

Another great family stay to discover LA
We’ve found this charming bungalow in a real, quiet neighborhood to be a great base of operation for family discovery trips in LA. This was my second stay with family. To add to our previous review last year, we like having a coffee shop and a neighborhood breakfast restaurant within walking distance. On sunny days, we were poolside for awhile. The pool and patio areas are ideal for receiving visitors. As to the exploration of LA, everything seems to be a drive, so Altadeena was fine. Thanks to the owner for sharing a wonderful family home.

Great sunny patio and pool
This was my second time in this house. Very nice patio with a large outdoor table for 8 people. Great pool and hot tub which is very private, high walls prevent to be seen by other houses. Very sunny outside, several large umbrellas and nice outdoor furniture. Nice pergola adjacent to pool shaded. Comfortable kitchen well equipped with indoor and outdoor dishes. Large primary bedroom and in suite bathroom. 2 other smaller bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Great host, very quick response to questions. Nice and quiet neighborhood, great fir walking. Only 12 minutes by car from Old Pasadena with many shops and restaurants We will be back at this home
