相比刚去过的纽伯特(Newport)的别墅(mansion),维多利亚(Victoria)的城堡(castle)更能体现低调奢华。虽无如碎浪山庄法式的华丽惊艳的潢饰,却有家的感觉,多了许多生气。虽同是十九世纪的百万富翁,居所却有着装点门面和实用的不同。登上第五次楼尖还是可以眺览维多利亚城郊,自以为城堡很值得一去,历史感让人很舒服。对了,临别时在礼品店偶遇神似“Blue is the warmest color”的Emma的工作人员,小小地被惊艳到了。定会回访。
It's a definite must-see in Victoria. The place has the look and feel of a historic home, as that was the intent. It also has an air of melancholy about it, as the atmosphere is imbued with the family's history and tragedies. Makes for an interesting experience when visiting BC's capital. Restoration is on-going, and those committed to keeping the old place in formidable style, have done and amazing job.
