点评:My sister and I went in March. Somehow we ended up with a private tour! We have visited a lot of historical homes (my dad is a home designer and that was always a part of our family vacations), but this one really stood out. The history is very interesting. But they also have the whole place open and staged - this is so rare. Typically in historical homes, floors and rooms are blocked off - and I'm always itching to see what is back there. But that's not the case at Ximenez-Fatio House! I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.
We had Ryan as our tour guide and he was great. He has been working there for about 7 years I think. And he helps to take care of the property and the gardens. You can tell he loves the place and takes pride and ownership of it. It's not just a job - he is super passionate. Not only did he share the history of the house, but additional history of St. Augustine and Florida during that time.
翻译:我和姐姐三月份去了那里。不知怎么的,我们最后参加了一次私人旅行!我们参观过很多历史悠久的房屋(我爸爸是一名家居设计师,这一直是我们家庭度假的一部分),但这个真的脱颖而出。历史非常有趣。但他们也将整个地方开放并布置好——这非常罕见。通常在历史悠久的房屋中,楼层和房间都是封闭的——我总是渴望看到那里的东西。但在 Ximenez-Fatio 故居不是这样!我并不觉得我错过了什么。
我们有 Ryan 作为我们的导游,他很棒。我想他在那里工作了大约 7 年。他帮助照顾房产和花园。你可以看出他热爱这个地方,并为它感到自豪和拥有。这不仅仅是一份工作——他非常热情。他不仅分享了房子的历史,还分享了当时圣奥古斯丁和佛罗里达州的更多历史。
