点评:We had previously never heard of Olana before we found it on TripAdvisor and we’re glad we did. We booked a self-guided tour in advance for $25 per person. Despite the name, we had interpreters stationed in every room of the house explaining it to us, so we were never really alone or self-guided. We arrived at 1:30 and walked the grounds before our 2:00 time slot. Florence explained the history of the house before releasing us to the front door. Church was both an artist and a collector, and the house reflects that combination. Fine art of various genres is on display in every room and the landscape, overlooking the Hudson, is gorgeous. While we would never want to live in a house like this—too much clutter everywhere—it is a fine house and wonderful set of grounds. We spent about two hours overall, including just under an hour inside the house.
翻译:在TripAdvisor上看到奥拉纳之前,我们从未听说过这个地方,很高兴我们发现了它。我们提前预订了自助导览服务,费用为每人25美元。虽说是“自助导览”,但实际上每个房间里都有讲解员为我们介绍相关情况,因此我们实际上并未真正独自游览。我们1点半到达,在2点的参观时间到来之前先在庄园内逛了逛。弗洛伦斯向我们介绍了这座房子的历史后,才让我们前往前门开始参观。丘奇既是一位艺术家,也是一位收藏家。这座房子充分体现了这种风格的融合。每个房间里都陈列着各类风格的美术作品,而可以俯瞰哈德逊河的景观也美不胜收。虽然我们绝对不想住在这样的房子里——到处都太杂乱了——但它的确是一座很棒的房子,庭院也相当宜人。我们总共花了大约两个小时参观,其中在屋内停留的时间接近一小时。
