点评:We have been going to Olana for a few years to walk around the grounds. There are very well maintained carriage trails with some great views. Although there are a couple of hilly spots, overall, the trails are not difficult.
We decided to take a guided tour of the mansion. It was a great experience. Our guide, Betsy, explained a lot about the history of the mansion and about the Church family. We would definitely take another tour to see other parts of the mansion (we did the ground floor tour) or even a guided tour of the trails to learn more about the property.
Last (and not least), a new, modern visitors center opened last year. Although it is very different than the original architecture, it seems to fit in very nicely and gives a nice, comfortable place to sit inside if it gets too hot (or too cold) outside.
Overall, Olana is worth a visit and since it is a nonprofit, becoming a member is a great way to show your appreciation for the work that is done to keep the place beautiful.

我们决定参加庄园的导览游。这是一次很棒的体验。我们的导游贝琪详细讲解了庄园的历史和丘奇家族的故事。我们一定会再参加一次导览游,参观庄园的其他部分(我们参加了一楼的导览游),或者参加步道导览游,了解更多关于庄园的信息。
最后(同样重要的是),去年开放了一个全新的现代化游客中心。虽然它与原来的建筑风格截然不同,但似乎与庄园融为一体,如果外面太热(或太冷),里面也提供了一个舒适的休息场所。
总而言之,奥拉纳庄园值得一游,而且由于它是一个非营利组织,成为会员是表达您对维护庄园美丽所做工作的感激之情的绝佳方式。
