If you love architecture and craftsmanship details, you will really enjoy this essentially self guided tour. This home on the grounds of Bok Tower Gardens shows what it would have been like to live here as a wealthy person in the 1930s. There are docents in different rooms who will offer tidbits of info and answer questions, but you are free to take as much time as you want in each room.

Verbally harranged and talked down to by senior female tour guide. Me and my partner missed the kitchen and didn't know we weren't allowed to backtrap. She would not listen to our confusion and just said she never saw us there before. I am a duo member too. Instead she told us to leave. We said okay that's fine. The proceeded back towards the exit. She then arranged us again stating no come some other way that was roped off.

Great place to take you back in time, with this house tour! How beautiful it is, and well thought by the owner who built it. Love the big doors, kitchen, the rooms and the floors! The bathrooms are spacious, from way back! Enjoy!! Don’t miss visiting the Bok tower too!

Not sure why it's referred to here as El Retiro. It's only referred to as Pinewood Estates on property & on the map. It's a beautiful mansion on the outside with amazing landscaping. Currently cannot go inside, presumably due to covid.
