Yelp.com Review - by Marcos R.

4.0 of 5 stars. Beautiful Miami landmark, worth checking out. If you go, try to pick a day when it's not so hot; as you'll be doing a lot of walking and you'll want to explore the estate's gardens. If you take the…

3.0 of 5 stars. I have never heard of Vizcaya until this trip to Miami. All I heard was some rich man decided to build this disgustingly huge villa on the 180 acres of land he bought. The entrance to the villa was…

2.0 of 5 stars. James Deering is the great visionary who blessed Miami with the original concept of Villa Vizcaya in 1916. Let us acknowledge his dedication and perseverance of shamelessly smearing his wealth across…

Yelp.com Review - by Rob C.

3.0 of 5 stars. A hodgepodge of European style and some random asian stuff in a Mediterrean home. In reality, it's not that old. Of note--on the last Sundays of the months July-Sept., it's free.

Yelp.com Review - by JD N.

5.0 of 5 stars. This is the Cloisters (NYC) of Miami. Instead of medieval, you have Italian renaissance. Instead of medieval art, you have rooms left alone for what they were, embellished in gilded, yet admittedly…

Yelp.com Review - by cindy w.

5.0 of 5 stars. From a cinematic perspective, Vizcaya is the perfect backdrop for a drug cartel's home. It's got that old world luxurious look that new money likes to buy to make them feel legit. Gilded ceilings,…

2.0 of 5 stars. This is one of the top cultural tourist attractions in Miami. I had very low expectations, which were slightly surpassed. If you've gone through dozens of similar villas and small palaces in Europe as…

A Taste of Europe in Miami

Vizcaya is a beautiful, peaceful estate. It is rich in history and the architecture is fabulous. Unfortunately, the effects of hurricanes have altered its original state, but it is still worth visiting.
