A great hidden gem of sorts amongst the grand mansions of the area. We took the evening candlelight tour, and absolutely loved it! The guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He even lived in an apartment in the building. The night tour, which talks briefly about ghosts, isn’t scary and is safe for all ages to enjoy. Do note you have to be able to walk up stairs to enjoy the tour. A beautiful grand home, fascinating stories, and neat historic furniture pieces. Highly recommend visiting here!

What an amazing house! There were lots of surprises hidden in this gem. Jay was our tour guide & did a marvelous job of showing off this beautiful mansion. Many hidden doors strategically placed to lead you into another room. Be sure to visit & enjoy the history & beauty of this mansion.

I have been to all of the Newport mansions and find Belcourt among the most interesting. Far less regal than the other Gilded Age mansions and more interesting more recent history. The tour guide was phenomenal and made our hour+ tour feel very personalized. Really so much fun. Make sure you sit in the “haunted chair” if given the opportunity!!

It was a very interesting tour and history of the Belcourt. The young man giving the tour was enthusiastic and willing to answer any questions. He will explain why there wasn't a lot of period furniture. Due to this I only gave it a 4 star because some of it was distracting like a custom motorcycle right as you walk into one of the beautiful rooms. It and some of the more eclectic pieces would have been better suited for the big room where you enter. Also posters on the walls instead of vintage art. Interesting to see anyway. Plenty of parking on site.

A beautiful "castle" full of history and secret rooms. It's a wonderful tour, guided by people who are very passionate. I wanted to spend all day there taking in the beauty. It is owned by the owner and creator of Alex and Ani! She did a wonderful job keeping it as beautiful ad it once was. I highly suggest checking this place out when you go to Newport, especially on a rainy day. It feels magical!
