Reviews of Casa Amatller
Kate S
Not crowded like next door. It was owned by a chocolate manufacturer (chocolate sold when you exit museum). It was just three of us on a guided tour - you listen to audio guide but someone leads you around. The stained glass windows were beautiful.
Noah Levin
Unexpectedly excellent house museum. Gorgeous furnishings and intricate, meaningful art. The audio tour is guided, so you can't linger too long in any room.
Ioana Traista
A true gem. I love its eclectic style, very different from the others on Passeig de Gràcia. With its mix of Gothic vibes, colorful tiles, and quirky details, it feels super original and full of character.
Paloma Lantsman
One of Gaudi's most beautiful buildings, in my opinion. He is an undisputed innovator, but as an architecture, I prefer this one.
Melissa Pate
I really enjoyed visiting this house! The tours are small and really informative (I didn’t lose attention). So many beautiful details in every corner, floor, ceiling, etc. It was so nice to get the chocolate at the end too! We ended up buying more chocolates as they’re beautiful as well.
