Getting to the Winters' in Pacific Palisades

Julia and Robert Winter
350 Bellino Drive, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272-3103

See the map at MapQuest.com.

Location: We are located a short distance north and west of (and 350 feet above) the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles (Pacific Palisades), CA. If you have a recent Thomas Guide, we are on page 630.

Getting There:
The easiest way to reach us is to take Los Liones off of Sunset Boulevard. If you are coming from UCLA on Sunset Boulevard, Los Liones is about 10 miles after leaving UCLA and about three-tenths of a mile before you reach PCH (it is shortly after you pass the golden dome of the Self-Realization Fellowship). There is no stop light, but Los Liones is located between a fire station (for which there are two yellow signs) and a nursery called The Outdoor Room. You can only turn right.

If you are coming east and/or south from Interstate 10 and Pacific Coast Highway, turn at Sunset (large gas stations and light, approximately five miles after the 10 bears right at the McClure Tunnel and becomes Pacific Coast Highway) and then turn left at Los Liones (the street sign is inexplicably across the street on Sunset). If you are coming from the further Valley, you may also cut across Topanga Canyon Road to PCH and then proceed south to Sunset.

However you get to Los Liones, you are going to take the first left (about 150 yds after turning onto Los Liones), which is Tramonto (go straight and you disappear into Topanga State Park). Tramonto will wend and wind its way up the hill into the area known as Castellammare. After about four-tenths of a mile you will straighten out and see a striking ocean view on your left (alongside a low white wooden fence). Go straight past Coperto and Quadro Vecchio on your right. The third street is Bellino, where you turn right. Follow Bellino ca. three-tenths mile until it curves around to the left and then look on the right for 350, a stuccoed earth-tone house shaped in front like a grand piano, a cluster of five mature palm trees at the street, and a semicircular driveway made of river rocks.

Street parking is ample; just remember to set your wheels for a hill.
