⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My partner and I had an unforgettable experience at the Villa Zorayda Museum. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the intricate architecture and the sense of history that fills every corner. The Moorish-inspired design, with its colorful tiles, carved woodwork, and detailed ornamentation, felt like stepping into a storybook from another world.
The self-guided audio tour was engaging and beautifully narrated, offering the perfect balance of history, art, and storytelling. We learned not only about the villa’s fascinating past and its visionary owner but also about how the collection came together over time. Each room revealed something new and unexpected, and we found ourselves marveling at the craftsmanship and the attention to detail throughout.
Visiting together made the experience even more special—it’s one of those rare places that sparks both wonder and conversation. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was peaceful, almost enchanting. Villa Zorayda isn’t just a museum; it’s a cultural treasure that makes you appreciate art, history, and architecture in a deeper way. We left completely inspired and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting St. Augustine!
