Vizcaya is the former estate of businessman James Deering, of the Deering McCormick-International Harvester fortune, on Biscayne Bay in the present-day Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida. The early 20th-century Vizcaya estate also includes extensive Italian Renaissance gardens, native woodland landscape, and a historic village outbuildings compound.
The landscape and architecture were influenced by Veneto and Tuscan Italian Renaissance models and designed in the Mediterranean Revival architecture style, with Baroque elements.

ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our daughter, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

You have such a beautiful relationship with your sister and niece. Your niece is a very glamorous looking girl. Beautiful family.
Thank you! Big hugs! 🥰🏰💖
I can't believe that you've presented Vizcaya to everyone. It's one of my favorite places to visit -I lived in the area years ago and am very familiar with it - remembering it when there were no glass doors nor roof over the central open air patio to shield it from the elements. Much work has been done restoring it over the years, the silks, the furniture, etc., from the humidity. A truly beautiful place. The house was finished around 1915 or so, I believe, but the gardens weren't completed until years later. James Deering, alas, didn't live too long too enjoy this fabulous place - as he died only a year or two after it opened. Modern medicine would have saved his life, but he died before a simple injection would have saved him. Originally from Maine the family made its fortune in agricultural equipment, and headed for Miami instead of Newport for the winter. The entire setting of Vizcaya is what makes it so special -it was carved out of mangroves, as there was no Miami at the time he was there. A brother built his home further south, also along the water. Imagine that, with boats and yachts being the main means of transportation. The breakfront had palm trees, gazebo for orchestra, and parties were held there, gondolas transporting the guests to and from the main house. Wonderful presentation, I was with you every step of the way. What a treat. Your lovely sister, niece and friend must have spent all day there in order to capture all of it. Other big homes of the wealthy are more lavish, such as the Breakers, but Vizcaya has the whole package. Deering wanted to come upon it from the bay. A hurricane or two caused flooding the gift shop, the losing of an obelisk or two on the barge (which have been restored).and current cafe (the original billiard room) which looked out to the swimming pool. Wonderful video, thank you.
Thank you for sharing your lovely memories! 🥰🏰💖
What fabulous memories! Thank you for sharing :-)
Vivienne, I had a wonderful time enjoying this tour with you lovely ladies. I could listen to and learn from you all day. Thank you.
As a person who loved traveling her own country of New Zealand extensively, it's you & my family who take me all over the world. You are such a fabulous tour guide. Thank you Vivienne. Safe travels.
🙏❤
Your description of the details is very rewarding.... Excellent
Just loving your niece’s partners dress, she really suits it well with her short pixie haircut ❤
Yes, Ashe is really beautiful! 🥰🏰💖
How wonderful! As it happens, our daughter had her engagement photos taken in the gardens there. Spectacular!
It's always so fun to travel along with you and your lovely family.
The sense of humor is the best.
What an amazing chateau. It's absolutely stunning, but your neice Wren is even more stunning. She has an old Hollywood glamor look. Her partner Ash is also stunning. This memory will last forever with you all. Thanks for sharing and for the tour.❤
Thank you, Peter! I agree… she is so beautiful (inside and out) as is Ashe. This was a very happy day for all of us, especially as we hadn’t seen each other for so long. 🥰🏰💖
Your sister is hysterical😂!!!
Haha! Tony, you have no idea. She makes me laugh like no one else in the world. 😂🏰💖
Hi Vivienne, Thanks so much for6 sharing your trip to Vizcaya. I had been there many years ago and it brought back wonderful memories of that trip. The collection of styles and periods of antiques at Vizcaya ar inspiration for moving forward with renovations of our home. I also saw the joy you have being thee with your family. Mark & Scott
Absolutely the most beautiful place in America. Loved everything thing about it. Thank you for taking us on this spectacular tour along with you four gorgeous ladies❤
Vivienne, simply spectacular. Merci.
Je vous en prie! 🥰🏰💖
Thank you for the tour, I lived in Florida 19 years and I never heard of Vizcaya!
Go there and then to the new science museum...great day out.
‘Friends not food’, best take away from this! Of course there is also the delight of being introduced to this castle by you Vivienne and your lovely family. Thank you.
your niece is so beautiful... i thought Stefanie from la land was beautiful but your niece has something special
Thank you so much sharing you visit, I would need to lay on the floor to see the beautiful ceilings. Your niece and her girlfriend are so stunning too, your just an all round gorgeous family. K🇬🇧❤️❤️.
How sweet you are! Thank you! 🏰💖
Wow! Just WOW! How beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Never knew about this castle. Lol watching your bloopers...so nice to see the love for each other. Your sister is funny.
Thank you for showing that stunning castle in Miami. not what I was expecting at all!

So beautiful! Thank you for taking us to this stunning chateau! So lovely to see you together with your divine family…what a good looking bunch of ladies. You always have such fun together! ❤
You are too kind. 🥰🏰💖
Wow!! All good-looking ladies.
Thank you for sharing your visit to Vizcaya. I went last year and it took my breath away. There’s so much mystery behind it. Not many records were left behind about the people who built it, who worked there, or even the owner. There were many amazing parties attended by Eastern coastal elite. And yet, very little was recorded! I’m inspired to research more about the estate and the gardens. This is a wonderful place to visit if anyone finds themselves in Miami. It’s only 30 minutes from South Beach. Thank you again, Vivienne!
Such a pleasure! 🥰🏰💖
Singing with Ashley on Lakme
Lovely musical edit, V. Thanks
A gorgeous chateau visited by beautiful and charming ladies, what else ? Seriously it was an amazing visit and your comments were very interesting plus I didn t know there were such a chateau in Florida. A pleasure to watch. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you ladies for this wonderful tour of Vizcaya. Out of this world decor. Monty Don featured the gardens on his Americas Tour but not the interior of the Villa. Magnificent. 🤩
💖💖💖
Thank you for sharing this beautiful castle. Been to Hearst Castle but Vizcaya is more stunning! And, so are you & your family!
Had one of those phone niches under the staircase in the house in which I grew up.
I live in Pennsylvania and have wanted to go here for years! I have been to Biltmore and several other of the castles of America. Thanks so much for the tour, it was beautiful! Now I want to go even more!
Beautiful, beautiful 👏👏🥰🙏🙏🌹🌹 Thank you for taking us along👏👏🥰
Thank you! I visited Vizcaya only last month while on a cruise. But the tender from the ship, then the bus ride, took too much time, and we were allowed maybe 30 minutes (!) at Vizcaya. I did a quick run through of the downstairs and the surrounding areas. I was afraid to go upstairs because my knees would not allow me to come back down quickly. Unfortunately, I didn't look up at the beautiful ceilings, but I did get some great shots of the marvelous floors and the coral bricks on the patio in the back. It should have been an all-day experience! So I appreciate your showing it to us in more detail.
Beautiful tour Vivienne. Thank you!
I want to just cry, I am so blessed by you and your family, such beauty, I had to share with many others. Thank you!!!
It is always such a pleasure. We are so happy and grateful you are joining us. 🥰🏰💖
Thank you and blessings to you all, I am retired and feel my life has changed because of you all.
Absolutely an amazing video.....thank you for sharing with us!
Hello Vivienne , thank you for bringing us along with your lovely family. I adore Ashley’s version of La vie en rose I could play it over and over. 😘🇨🇮
Thank you, Sheila! She is so talented. 🥰🏰💖
I really appreciate all your knowledge with periods, architects, designers etc. Makes it so interesting when we're watching. Thanks so much Vivienne. Great to see your sister too and I agree your niece is just as beautiful as you and your sister are.
So, so sweet…as always!! 🥰🥰🥰🏰🏰🏰💖💖💖
Vizcaya is absolutely stunning...thank you for the tour. I have been to the Biltmore in North Carolina (Amazing yes...however I see why you love Vizcaya the most!). Take good care...talk soon!
Wow, that was a real treat! Thank you!
Vivienne, you look beautiful in your gorgeous dress !
🥰🥰🥰
I have been to Vizcaya and it is indeed one of the most beautiful estates ever created. I especially loved the Italianate dock as well. I vividly recall being there at Easter time one year and when we were going to the patio overlooking the sea, in the atrium there were two huge easter lilies flanking the entry. It was the only time I have ever seen huge easter lily trees in their natural growth setting. The scent was intoxicating and memorable. Although it is 'over the top' as are many lux estates, it is so well curated, that it is so charming elegant and timeless. Enjoyed the tour and thank you for the memories. XOXO, Bren
I grew up in Miami and Vizcaya was a frequent stop. Fairchilds Tropical Garden is also a treasure. The gondola was used for the musicians as their 'stage' during the parties.
Now, Vivienne, you I hope are in the back drops also. This is a real treat!!! Thank you. What is not to love, what is not to love, oh my!!! I will have to look at least one more time. The music is so soothing. Thank you for this treat. God bless you all!!!
If your still in Florida you should visit the Flagler museum in West Palm Beach. It’s really amazing as well.
Yes, indeed. He brought the railroad all the way to Key West, set the area in motion.
I live in miami and it's always a special treat. Vizcaya is a romantic place
Thank you for the tour. Beautiful. Didn't know this place exist.
Thank you so much! I have been going to Miami forever and never knew about this beautiful castle! Heading there in two weeks. I love your happy vibes❤️
Never heard of Vizcaya !!! WOW --- it was there before Miami or Miami Beach. Vizcaya village was across the street and grew its own food --- I think they had their own telephone system and electricity there. It's a beautiful place. Those rooms in the entryway by the library are to die for. Pompeiian ceilings, jus everything. Europe in Miami. You must visit. It's a large place, including the gardens, so plan a long visit. James died a bachelor, left the house plus property to his nieces. It was even larger, had tennis courts beyond the Casino, lagoons, etc -they sold the southernmost third to the Catholic Church who built at least one school there, as well as Mercy Hospital. A huge tract of land. Mary Brickell was the pioneer who owned that before. Interesting history. Miami is very new, very young. Lots of fairly recent events took place as it was founded and grew and grew and grew.
Love the tan dress and chic hairdo of your guest, too extra Gan
I have gone to Vizcaya 5 times since I was in High School. Thought about getting married there but couldn't swing it. I love it there. I find it so peaceful and lovely. Would love to soak in one of the tubs with the salt water.❤❤❤ and then spend the night.😊
I would have loved to get married there, too! 🥰🏰💖
I just want to say that was a real treat. Is Ren your sisters daughter? They do look alike. Very beautiful ladies. Thanks for a very special video 😍
Yes, she is! Thank you! 🥰🏰💖
Newport, RI has some amazing properties, as well as Hyde Park, NY, and Long Island! There are a lot of grand homes with gardens. The Vanderbilts, and Rockefeller have some nice mansions!
Breakfast room, a real stunner!!
Love that you show us these beautiful castles.
What a treat to see this amazing American Castle. I want to know who polishes that copper and will they travel to NY to keep mine as shining! Absolutely fabulous.
The Biltmore Estate is the largest home in America and most beautiful by far!
Really big, but not most beautiful... One feels dwarfed there. Love the Biltmore library, though. That is simply gorgeous.
Vivienne, I would sincerely urge you to make an effort to go to California to see Randolph Hearst’s “San Simeon.” For me, it exceeds all other’s particularly because it was Julia Morgan, for me one of the greatest architects of all time, who designed and oversaw the building of what Mr. Hearst called his “ranch.” He left it to her to choose and design if necessary both the interiors as well as exteriors and gardens!! ❤️🙏♥️
Oh yes, I would love to go there. Simon has been and agrees with you completely. 🥰🏰💖
I bet Isabelle would have loved Vizcaya. Perhaps, she's already seen it.
What a magnificent estate. The amazing beauty just kept coming.
I couldn't possibly tell you which of the many opulent bedrooms were my favorites. There were so many beautiful elements and styles everywhere but the kitchen and pantry. Nice collection of copper cookware though.
The gardens and grounds were no exception to the general theme of opulence. Every corner, nook and cranny was hiding something wonderful.
As for your own private collection of baubles et objets d'art, you know I'm rather fond of Wedgwood too. But, I love all of your pieces.
I had to titter at your comment, "I love a dumb waiter."
That was definitely a winning episode. Bravo, Vivienne!
Best regards to Simon.
❤ from TX!
Thank you and big hugs to you! 🥰🏰💖
How wonderful!
My favorite "castle" would be The Breakers in Newport RI. Any of the mansions in Newport are worth a look and a dream of what it would be to live there.
But The Breakers has always been a Luxury Hotel. I had my high school graduation party there.
Your niece is stunning!
Thank you! Yes, she is! 🥰🏰💖
What stunningly beautiful rooms! There was not one room I didn’t think was gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it with us. The gardens were exceptional, too. I loved it all.
I’ve wanted to tell you how much I enjoy you and your family on You Tube and it seems like the perfect time since you’re back “home” in Florida. I am a Florida Native as well. Please keep having fun and decorating. I never get tired of you, Simon and lovely Isabel. Much love from Pensacola!
Thank you, Linda! 🥰🏰💖
You really need to visit Biltmore!!!
Vizcaya has more personality to it, in my view. The Biltmore is just huge at every level. Like the Breakers, with its two story kitchen - for all the serving pieces, etc. Vizcaya is a jewel on the water, not ostentatious. Very mindful of the natural environment - you can feel the way it was originally along the mangroves. Wonderful place.
Another great vlog Vivian. ❤
Im in Sofia thank you for showcasing Vizcaya! Great job!
Majestic! Merci!
One Of your best video's yet.!
Oh, thank you! 🥰🏰💖
Ty! I really love the information! I’m heading there on Thursday. So excited to see it! I live very close to Newport,RI and we spend so much time there. It’s nice see in Florida as well☀️💛
what a great tour, thanks
Loved the music medley you chose!
Wonderful to see Vizcaya. Very special place with incredible treasures.
Wow, that is beautiful!! Definitely a slice of Europe in Florida!!
Love the Bloopers! 😂
Mirko! That is high praise coming from you. For anyone who reads this, check out Mirko’s beautiful YT channel of his travels around the world with his band Air Supply @meerkatstudioproductions! 🏰💖🥰💖🏰🥰💖💖💖💖💖
It has some similarities to Ca d Zan in Sarasota FL built by the Ringling family. Also has a gondola dock and an exquisite marble terrace
I visited Vizcaya many years ago and it is beautiful.
My favorite as well. We had our honeymoon in Miami and fall in love with Vizcaya over forty-five ago
Probably visited 20 years ago! Great to see it again!
I have been excited yo het there for so long! Merci beau coup! It wss another second vlog from the Love Chateau. I enjoyed immensely, will be watching again today! Water and tropical gardens oh my!
BEST TO YOU
What a fabulous tour! I love the use of multiple matching chandeliers in the corners of the ceilings rather than always one large chandelier in the middle! The floors were breathtaking & the overall decor is right out of a fairy tale! I live in the states & have never heard of it❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, i was there about 1990. There was a drought that year so they couldn't water. It was so nice to see the gardens as they were meant to be. Thanks again.
How magnificent! Such splendor! Thank you Vivienne for sharing with us🥰
It was extraordinary ! So nice to see this beautiful place !
thanks for the tour of this gorgeous castle have never heard of it - you teach us all so much with your travels! thank you again.
Wow !,
Thanks for sharing your trip to this stunning chateau wow , take care and see you next time 💕🌼🤗
Lovely! Thank you for taking us on your Adventures!
I so enjoyed a Renaissance Festival in the gardens many years ago at Vizcaya. It’s a very fond memory of mine
Me, too ! Perfect spotfor that.
Try some of the houses in Newport, Rhode Island
Vivienne, did you go to college to learn all the backgrounds in the Cheatue? Or have you just learned over the years you have been in France? Ps. You all look beautiful in your afternoon dress.
Beautiful vlog, loved seeing the faience, in particular the Quimper as I collect it. 🌼🌺
I had never heard of this place when I visited Miami many moons ago. What an amazing place. I have to agree it is one of the most beautiful castles. Love the sea views. What a fun day with your sister, niece and friend. Such a beautiful family. Thanks for taking us along 😍😘
It’s always a pleasure! 🥰🏰💖
🍎Vivienne and family,
Beautiful, fabulous, spectacular day in our part of the world! Hope it is for you all as well.
Fabulous news about Monaco that's very close to where you guys live. It's only 11 miles from Nice France. It's the second smallest independent country in the world. Population is a little over 36,000 and over 12,000 are millionaires. Are you planning on going there in the Summertime to show us one of the most beautiful, fabulous, hidden little paradise country in world? Better yet, I'm sure you can find the best champagne in the world there known to man and woman if you prefer! Waiting to see these millionaires on your video of Monaco.
Ciao! 🌴
Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing this castle! I’ve been to Hearst Castle, but never knew there was one in Florida!! It is incredible!!
Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
Oh thank you for the tour! Monty Don covered the gardens in his American Gardens series but did not go inside the villa. Italianate, but yes, so many style interpretations that can't be imagined and need to be seen. So different. ❤
Thank you for sharing..
LOVE, love it
Amazing place. Glad to know about it.
Stunning 💖
I follow their instagram page and it’s such a beautiful place. Need to visit it in person
Very beautiful vlog ! I find it hard to compare I prefer to enjoy each as they all different in their own way .
Just stunning ❤
