Food can be unique. Bring some bucks. Popular establishment for the want-to-be-seen (kind of incognito). More

Elegant place, seeing the pool, house, etc was my main goal. Accommodating service, decent food, but over all not an extraordinary dinning experience. Spent about $280 for dinner and wine and the experience of the interiors. More

My family had afternoon tea at The Villa by Barton G for my sister's 25th birthday. She wanted do something different and special so we thought this was the perfect thing, but boy were we wrong! The service was terrible -- we arrived on time for our reservation and had to wait 45 mins to be seated even though there... More

I was too late to take a tour but I was able to enter the bar with a one drink min. What an amazing property. Once could only imagine the amazing events that Gioanni hosted in his SOBE home. Take sime time to sit back and enjoy the experience. More

Unless you are a completely fanatical Versace fan pls don't visit. The staff are awful, amazingly rude and desperate to get rid of you. This is also a hotel so if people are staying in the 'star' rooms - eg Elton John's or Madonna's or Gianni's, you don't get to see them ! The biggest insult was to get $2... More

The Versace Mansion today houses a champagne bar and restaurant. We wanted to have a drink at the bar during our three day visit to Miami, and every day there where gorilla type bounsers on the door which seems that they haven´t realized that they are there to serve the clients and provide security. With a abnoxious attitude they would... More

Somewhat of a shrine to Mr. Versace, who was killed here by mass murderer Andrew Cunanan. The house is private, but one can walk around the exterior. Lovely Italianate architecture with the distinctive House of Versace medallions. A must see in South Beach! More
