Historic Villa Vizcaya Mansion

Adjacent to the Versace Mansion, the Villa is the only estate in Miami that treats the public to an adventure inside the gates.

WHO: Families, brides to be and even a few Hollywood heavyweights visit this historic mansion. Swanky Miami Soirees are often thrown at the Villa and visiting dignitaries include Pope John Paul II, Queen Elizabeth and Ronald Reagan.

Vizcaya is one of two national historic landmarks in Miami 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 other formal affairs. The estate is the perfect place for a romantic evening stroll with someone special, as it offers moonlight garden tours.

Built in 1916, the house has 34 rooms filled with an eclectic array of 15th to 19th century furniture and art, overlooking Biscayne Bay. If the palatial estate looks familiar its probably because Villa Vizcaya is itself, a movie star. Vizcaya has been rented out for the filming of Any Given Sunday, Bad Boys II, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In addition to taking in the serenity of the beautiful gardens, and Miami history, you also get a splash of silver screen glam with its Hollywood history, making Villa Vizcaya the perfect day-trip destination for families and couples alike.

Vizcaya is open to the public 364 days each year, weather permitting.

A stroll through the tropical palace looks chic in a summery dress, Castaway Jewelry trinkets and dark lenses.
