We loved our room, the Victoria Rose. As a studio, it had a beautiful bedroom and nice living room with a couch/sofa bed and 65 inch TV with free Netflix. We loved our private screened porch! The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. It was just a weekend trip, but we had a wonderful time and will not hesitate to visit the Estate at Mount Dora again. We highly recommend it!

Very nice stay, the property is very well maintained, the room was very clean. The room had a coffee maker a little refrigerator and a microwave. The bed was very comfortable.The Parking is right outside the house. The only drawback I would say is that if you stay in the first floor you will hear every footstep upstairs pretty loud.
