• Amazing History
  Villa Vizcaya was built in the early 20th century by James Deering, a well-known industrialist. Inspired by the Italian Renaissance villas, Deering decided to create something similar in Miami.

The architects and designers who worked on the project created a magnificent estate with exquisite interiors and luxurious gardens.
