Castles and mansions have always fascinated me, so when I found out we were going to Hearst Castle during my trip to the States in 2010, I was absolutely thrilled! The first time I heard about it was when a friend of mine came home from her trip to the U.S. a few years back and showed me pictures of Hearst Castle, and I knew I had to see it in person one day too.

It was a three-hour drive from San Jose to San Simeon, if I remember right. We took a wrong turn and ended up having to take Highway 1, which wasn’t the plan, but we did have such a fantastic view of the coast. Carmel-by-the-Sea was my favorite stop on the drive.

#7 William Randolph Hearst’s one-time Central Park West penthouse returns for $18M,More info:6sqft

Three years ago, T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere dropped $18 million on this palatial Upper West Side penthouse, but after first re-listing the sprawling duplex at 91 Central Park West for $22 million in February, he’s now dropped the price down to $17,995,000–meaning he’ll break completely even. Not only will the new buyer be able to say they’re living in William Randolph Hearst’s one-time home, but Legre worked with esteemed contemporary architectural design firm SheltonMindel to update the residence while retaining its magnificent historic details such as stained glass windows, elaborately carved woodwork, and ornate ceiling moldings. Plus, there’s an equally expansive private terrace overlooking the park.
