Beautiful home with great art and wonderful views of the lake!

Tyler Allison

Went here with my wife and absolutely loved it. It's very quiet and peaceful. It was interesting learning about the family who built it. I recommend this place for any art enthusiast.

Elise Hubbard

This place is very beautiful and has some interesting history behind it. It's not very large so it only takes an hour or two to visit the whole place

Niky B-C

Very nice!

Arian Asghari

Unbelievable!

Gary Lancina

Sam Leadbeater

Linda Edmondson

Beautiful historic Italianate Villa ...part of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Free summer Sunday morning concerts there -- Cafe Sopra Mar.

Peter Romwall

Great local history about the owner and his family and the architect who designed it. The location on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan is spectacular.

J moore

Amazing venue! The staff is sweet and friendly

Kristine Kohnert-Rosalez

Beautiful house and museum! They have garden concerts in the summer

Maria Nora Cintron

OMG! This place is exquisite! It's so serene and peaceful! The garden and fountains are so beautiful; the view of Lake Michigan from the house is a wow factor.

Christina Kolb

I really enjoyed seeing this beautiful old home. This is not a very big museum, but the exhibits that were here when j visited were very interesting. I understand that they change exhibits frequently and some of the past catalogues i saw did not look as interesting so i would reccomend checking to see what is here before visiting. The grounds and the house were fabulous and worth coming to see in their own right. I really enjoyed my visit and i am planning on bringing my mom here next time she is in town.

Sharlene Dittmann

Breathtaking views! Absolutley Amazing home, both inside and out!

Yolamda Perez

Craig Burbey

An absolutey gorgeous building in the heart of an old goldcoast sectiom of Milwaukee. Impeccably maintained garden with a beautiful central courtyard and a panoramic view of the lake from the back porch. An absolutely perfect sight for a wedding.

Christine Zacharias

It is so beautiful in the summer. Staff is always helpful. Many come here to take pictures.

Ruth Burant

Going here is like taking a step into old Europe. The statues, architecture, garden is here for you to explore at a relaxed pace. Plus, the art exhibits are unique, interesting, and thought provoking. Last, at times they have an artist in residence teach the kids or adults an art lesson for free. Cool spot to check out.

Randy Scherkenbach

Actually, we attended one of their free Sunday concerts, this time a three piece Jazz combo featuring Vibraphone, Bass Guitar and Drums. Excellent & very relaxing.

Pat Grimes

Beautiful venue with excellent food and perfect weather.

Giselbert Parkhurst

This place is such an exquisite milwaukee spot. Today was my third time at the Villa Terrace. The first I toured the museum, the second I took photos on my wedding day, and today for a lovely networking event. That being said, the space is versatile for all different things. It's located high up on the hillside facing Lake Michigan and the overlook is gorgeous!!!

Eric Otteson

Gardens were beautiful.

Nic Charles Photography

Beautiful venue for weddings and events!

B Hughes

Gardens are just lovely.

Maryam Sepid

It's a very beautiful place for events. However we visited that as a museum and it was good for one time visit. If there is any exhibition going on there,it is the best time to visit.

Tiffany Rehbein

Beautiful museum and garden!

Susan Greenwald

Beautiful setting, great music

Johnathan Manyfield

beautiful views

Kyle Guthreau

Beautiful, very cool, great view

Kathy Pinkowsky

I love yoga at the Villa Terrace. Their concert series is great, too!

David Cincotta

My favorite place. The art can sometimes be a bit odd but the home and the gardens are well worth a visit.

Derek Schneider

What a gorgeous museum of architecture, horticulture, and visual arts. This is one of the most beautiful places in Milwaukee and a definite place you have to visit. They do events. They take part in doors open, and admission on off event times is reasonable and it's worth it to spend an hour or two in this urban oasis.

Emilio Bras

A very nice small decorative arts museum with interesting shows and a great venue for events.

Renee Thompson

The Villa Terrace was the perfect location for our wedding! Megan was a treat to work with and brought a calming presence to the planning process. She did a wonderful job of helping us to visualize our perfect day and make full use of the terrace, the Great Hall, the courtyard, and the gardens.

Jeff Renaud

From the patio this is probably one of the best views in milwaukee! Beautiful garden and museum with a very friendly staff.

Kathryn Humitz

Beautiful,over the history and the views

Ada Hanson

A number of guests have been somewhat disappointed with our recommending this. Maybe you need to revisit multiple times to really get it. There is an extraordinary vision at work here as a sense of place with an almost perfect relationship to the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. It takes time and repeated visits to appreciate that you keep coming back, not for the wonderful variety of decorative art exhibits, or the masterful iron work of Cyril Colnik, but for the setting - the building and the gardens and the lake.

Jean Oliva

Hidden gem in Milwaukee, great photo ops, musty smell

Kimberly Jacobs

Beautiful wedding Liz and Justin.

Terese Patton

I was here for a wedding reception and I was just blown away at the buildings architecture and design. It had all the feel of modern art meets downtown classics. A must visit, even if it's just for a minute or two:)

Andrea Kimberly

Beautiful, amazing detail and character all around. Amazing view!

Thays Perez

Super especial para unas bellas fotografía s

Mary Phelps

The main attraction is the property, grounds and gardens. Visit during blooming season and you will not be disappointed. I do wish there were more artifacts, art and period furniture in the home though.

Osogladiator !

If you like art and are in Milwaukee this is a must see. The beautiful history and decor of the building alone makes it worth while. The stories of the display here though are also worth checking out. Note this is also a popular event venue for its lake views and unique aesthetic.

Sharon Pluta

Beautiful place for an outdoor wedding highly recomend

Judy Pawlak

Beautiful, inside and out

Michelle Larson

Absolutely gorgeous!

Md Shaheduzzaman

Beautiful place and architecture. The view of the lake is sure to have your mind blown.

Julie Duffy

Worth your time. Grounds are beautiful.

Jack Kaminski

Awesome scenic location and great architecture. I like the free concerts on the summer on Sunday mornings.

Alexa Wild

The only real reason I knock a star is because I thought we would get to see the whole house, but parts were closed off (probably to help with preservation). But, if you like looking at older houses that are kept in the condition of how they used to be, defiantly check it out. Totally worth the money.

Michael Kirmse

They've got some good art but the real draw in my opinion was the house and grounds. It's an amazing site.

John Kaufman

Listened to very relaxing in the outdoor atrimum,

G Bailey

An amazing house and grounds!

Jillian Davis

Lots of indoor and outdoor background options for senior pictures!

I enjoyed exploring the house and gardens. Would love to see more from this house in the future. It is a beautiful place to have a wedding, very romantic. Out every window is a picturesque scene.

Karen Budelman

It is absolutely gorgeous, my nephew's wedding was held here and it couldn't of been anymore beautiful. Dinner was supposed to be on the terrace and rain was coming in and they gathered everything that was set up and moved it to the courtyard to keep all the guests dry.

Diamond Shurn

Husein Dhariwala

The museum is beautiful. Loved the houses around it

Lore Lisheron

Stunning Italian style architecture with courtyard, gardens was the home of the Smith Family (A.O. Smith, Corp). High end finishes reflect the family's wealth, yet still has a family home feel displaying photos of the children playing on the property.

John C Burzynski

From the standpoint of a museum there's not much to see but if you're into architecture check it out. Beautiful grounds, well worth the small admission charge.

Sue Cohn

Gorgeous venue. The garden and view of Lake Michigan is spectacular. The courtyard feels like Italy! The concerts on Sundays are lovely. Visit the museum inside too.

Italian architecture at its finest. It’s free on MKE Open Doors. And I think free for first Thursday monthly, but please do check with them before hand.

Laura McDonald

Really beautiful views and cool art pieces!

Luai R. Khoury

An amazing place to visit in Milwaukee. For ~7$ you can enter the Villa and see the decorations, and the amazing garden. The history of the place is so exciting, you can have a brief explanation about it as well from the people who work there. Impressive!
