Easy to spend half a day here. I especially enjoyed the purity of the upper floor rooms, which contrast wonderfully with the chaotic exuberance of the roof terrace!

If you are in Barcelona you must see the Gaudi sights - Sagrada Familia and his houses. If you are visiting only one of Gaudi's houses, this is the one.

Beautiful architecture. Interesting and beautiful - the combination of structure, colour and light is quite incredible. Worth seeing.

Strange place! An interesting place especially considering it was actually built as a family home. The audio tour started off well - points out small details that you might not notice just walking round - but did become a bit annoying after a while, a bit gushing and longwinded in parts. A good contrast with the scale of the Sagrada... More

I literally fell in love with this place. Tickets are expensive, but it was totally worth it. This is a unique sea-like house, unbelievable curvy architecture for the time. Hard to describe it! One of Gaudi's masterpieces...

This place is wonderful, my husband wasn't sure what to expect as I'm the one into art and things but he is now a convert, we both enjoyed the visit and are looking forward to our next trip to Barcelona to take in more Gaudi works of art.

Had to see one of his domestic projects after being stunned by Sagrada Familia. We hadn't booked so decision was easy as access to Casa Batlo was was much easier than La Pedrera which had a massive que. Quite expensive to enter but you get access to nearly the whole building and audio guide included (maybe why shorter que ?).

The building was nice but we didn't go inside. A lot of colors and typical architect is used and it looked like a fairytale

Visited to look at the outside, came back in theevening to see lit up at dusk, stunning, then decided the next day to come back and do the tour of the interior - so glad we did. Amazing insight into the ideas and the detail behind the design and all the influences of nature behind it. Got there early for... More
