Vizcaya Villa is a Rennaisance-style house built in 1916 by James Deering, a wealthy industrialist, in Biscayn Bay. It is enchanting, furnished with original antiques and artwork from all over the world, and the beautifully kept gardens are a delight to wander around. Knowledgeable guides enhance the visit. There is a pleasant cafe in the garden with reasonably priced good food.
