Get a glimpse of Miami's playboy past at this luxurious Italian villa.. In Short
Vizcaya is one of two national historic landmarks in Miami-Dade County. Once the winter residence of Chicago industrialist James Deering, this opulent palace's 10 acres of gardens and fountains now host sightseers, weddings and formal receptions. Built in 1916, the house has 34 rooms filled with an eclectic array of 15th- to 19th-century furniture and art, overlooking Biscayne Bay. Rooms are most resplendent during the holidays, when opulently decorated Christmas trees and decorations fill the mansion.

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.

somewhere in time. Born and raised in Miami,I visited Vizcaya many times. It was my dream home as a child,and I always bring guests to see it. As I walk through the manicured gardens,look out over the beautiful vistas,and gaze at the ornate architecture,I am carried away back in time to place of romance,opulence,and elegance. A must see!

Flash back. In my opinion anyone new to Miami has to see Miami's historical features. One of many is Vizcaya. It is one of the most gorgeous places you will fine in the Gables! And its even better when you go see it during the Renaissance Fair!

Step back in time!. Vizcaya is absolutely inspiring! The home itself is beautiful but the gardens surrounding the home of James Deering are breathtaking! With the bay as the home's back yard , it is most definetly a MUST SEE!!!!!

wonderful gardens. It's like stepping beck in time when you walk around the gardens. Absolutely gorgeous, with breathtaking views of the ocean. The house itself is very interested to tour too.
