菲卡亚博物馆&花园

LeaveNothing

100年前暴发户第二代夜夜笙歌的场所，在大沼泽上建立起来的欧洲古堡，豪华至极，一定要听每天4-5次的免费讲解，比audio tour讲得好很多

整个地方不让喝水,在这个花园里不许喝水,而且博物馆里也不让,如果你渴了的话,要不就回到餐馆在喝,要么就直道晕倒。星期六这天不算热,但是夏天要怎么办呢?想到不爽,为了喝水还得来回折腾,没人愿意往返花上1个小时去买水喝,还是带个小冰箱吧,不该这样啊,也不能这样啊。

虽然我推荐大家有生之年都要去迈阿密一次,但是那里文化底蕴不足,资金不充裕,南方海滨风俗较为奇怪的原因吧。不像其它大多数大城市那样,市区,政府,私人组织都比较标准,符合常规。菲卡亚博物馆和花园好评如潮,我本是充满期待。如果你真想在佛罗里达参观带上等博物馆的古宅,建议你去参观萨拉索塔参观John & Mable Ringling 博物馆,那里才能真正找到感觉。这个地方没什么让人印象深刻的地方。花园让人失望透顶。没有缤纷的色彩,只有平淡无奇的绿色植被,远不及佛罗里达别处众多的观光花园。古宅是此次观光的亮点,它一座三层的石头建筑,没有翻修,所以里面的装饰让人有了穿越回20世纪的感觉。过道花园都挺破旧,宅子里头还有一股霉味,的确给人一种完整的历史感,但更多让人觉得索然无味。想想在上世纪20年代有这么多钱,宅子正处于鼎盛时期应该是挺享受的,但是现在繁华不在,满是落寞。

我们因为有一些优惠券所以就来这体验了一天。这个花园非常大,非常开阔,花园小径有许多小道适合散步溜达。有许多珊瑚铺成的小路,就像鹅卵石小径一样。非常舒适,这个花园整体感觉特别像一个珊瑚城堡。你可以一路漫不经心地溜达,踩着鹅卵石小路非常舒适。这个花园经常会有许多摄影师在摄影,因为这的美景真的太入相了。这里还有许多上年纪的老树。还能看见一些小鹿在慢悠悠地晃荡呢。园丁们只会在晚上才来清理这些小鹿的痕迹,因为只有这样才不会打扰到小鹿。我非常喜欢加利福尼亚温切斯特庄园的感觉!很美妙!这的历史感也相当带劲。还有一个小纪念品店可以买一些小信物。还有这的小零食也非常好吃。这的饭馆味道也很赞,尤其是这的主打菜就是螃蟹,我感觉这的螃蟹超级美味而且相当大只,非常值。一定要记住的就是去拿一个自助耳机讲解器,大概是5元。我认为非常值得。我在这里拍了超级多的照片,真是太喜欢这了。

不要以为有钱的芝加哥人从全世界找来各地的收割机就能开个博物馆挣钱了,这个博物馆有的也只是钱而已吧,一点头脑都没有,只会在迈阿密建个疯狂的人造欧式大厦让其内充斥着在欧洲采购的家具和壁毯。那个用珊瑚做成的船只还是值得对其赞叹一番的,就放在大厦前面当布景,不过也让人不禁想他得花多少钱扔进去啊。这里只是个很不适合在此的让人悲哀的欧式建筑而已,我觉得就是明日黄花。

虽然游览房子和花园不错,但整个地方似乎有些问题。我知道那些家具和艺术品非常昂贵,但整个设置偏暗。房子需要更多自然光。此外,缺少女性装饰,尽管我知道Deering有个女儿,但似乎从未提及妻子??总之,如果来,就租个音频耳机以便玩得更好。

Today visit was just one big disappointment. Tickets are 18$ per adult and villa and garden are in such state that you want to cry. Building urgently needs renovation. It falls apart. It smells with mold and you definitely don't want to spend their much time. Garden is a disaster, fountains are mainly empty and dirty or with smelly dirty water. Channels for boats around villa are destroyed. It was probably very beautiful garden but now there are no flowers and hedges are not trimmed properly. Each room smells with dust. Any European place would be ashamed to present something like that to public. Do not recommend this villa for visiting until full renovation is done.

It's plenty interesting and beautiful. There times you need to take your wife and or girlfriend. At least, my wife thought it so cool. The mansion takes you back in time. You can spend 3 to 5 hours doing this. It's worth. I think it's free!

Viscaya is one of those amazing places that we have all seen in films and tv shows but never knew. Once I you've visited you will forever recognize it due to it's unique setting and architecture. The gardens are beautiful, the house is grand.

Not sure you'd enjoy it during the hot, muggy weather but during the perfection that is Miami from around October-May, you should give it a try. Reminds you of the mansions in Newport, RI only with more interesting grounds. The cafe is a nice touch as well.

This is a must-see for any visit to the Miami area. Great story of the man who created it (James Deering of International Harvester), beautiful, though somewhat enigmatic house, but it's the exterior that steals the show. As a landscape architect, this may seem expected, but the south side garden with mounds, north side swimming pool and constructed ship out in the bay are remarkable. I think of this as Miami's Biltmore, Huntington Gardens, or Hearst Castle., though not on such a grand scale.

The setting alone is worth the drive from anywhere to see this architectural masterpiece. The setting along the water is breathtaking.

A must see when visiting Miami. An amazing villa on the water. Beautiful interior and exterior. Lots of photo opportunities. Beautiful gardens. Lots of walking though. $18 for adults.

We really enjoyed our visit here. It was a beautiful home with a very interesting history and unique details. The grounds are stunning. Definitely worth a few hours.

This grand old house was built by industrialist James Deering between 1914 - 1916. It is worth visiting to see how the wealthy lived in the early 1900's. As will this place is a fine example of proving that just because someone has money doesn't mean they have good taste!The house is ornate and the rooms vary in design from Rocco to English Neo Classical. Ceilings were brought in from Europe, local Florida limestone used on the exterior patios, a Venetian boat created from limestone and dock decorates the waterfront portion of the property. This place is a hodge podge of design and nothing really goes together but it is very interesting to tour the property.The grounds are beautiful and there were several photo shoots taking place the day we visited. You can join a guided tour (worthwhile) or rent an audio guide.
