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. 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. 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.
