 Historic Miami home |
3485 Main Highway Miami, FL 33133 United States +1 305 442 6866 http://www.floridastateparks.org |
Unlike many of South Florida's state parks, Barnacle is centrally located and easily accessible by automobile. Just off a main street in trendy Coconut Grove, this five-acre historic site offers visitors a glimpse into a past full of beauty and luxury. This stately structure was originally the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, a landowner and yacht enthusiast who hailed from New York. Before and after Munroe's passing, pains were taken to assure that the property reflected south Florida's culture and blossoming heritage. Guests can tour Munroe's home or explore the lush land outside. Celebrate the 4th of July here, as annual festivities are held. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A stately historic villa |
3251 South Miami Ave Miami, FL 33129 United States +1 305 250 9133 http://www.vizcayamuseum.org/ |
Sporting magnificent gardens on the edge of Biscayne Bay, this enchanting 34-room Italian villa was built in 1916 by industrialist James Deering, who designed it in the Renaissance style which he loved. It cost Deering $15 million at the time and took 1,000 craftsmen more than five years to complete. Spread out across more than 10 acres of waterfront with 20 acres of untouched jungle beyond, the villa is one of Miami's most dramatic attractions, renowned for its historical significance and its sheer beauty. Inside, you'll find restored rooms with period furnishings, an indoor swimming pool, and glorious architecture. Waterfalls and fountains, reflecting pools, stone balustrades, and decorative urns brimming with flowers infuse the villa with a charmingly romantic ambience. Visiting dignitaries have included England's Queen Elizabeth and Pope John Paul II. Admission: Adults: USD12, children (6-12) USD5. Review © 2007, Wcities |
