Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
Un edificio precioso que sin duda hay que ver con visita guiada para conocer todas las curiosidades que Gaudi aportó. Nuestra guía, Bea fenomenal, nos hizo la visita súper amena y todo el personal súper amable. Lo visitamos con mi hija de 17 años y salió encantada. Preciosa la iluminación de los jardines en navidad y el detalle del chocolate con cachito de sobao
Siempre llevo a mi familia y amigos de fuera al Capricho, y les encanta. Personalmente, me fascina la arquitectura de Gaudí, y disfruto mucho con cada visita. El precio sin visita guiada me parece un poco elevado, pero entiendo que parte de ese dinero de utiliza para mantener el edificio. También tienen precios reducidos para diversos grupos (estudiantes, mayores...). Tiene una tienda con souvenirs. Por la arquitectura del edificio y las zonas exteriores, no es el mejor lugar para personas con movilidad reducida.
Visita totalmente recomendable por no decir de obligada visita. La Villa Quijano está magníficamente recuperada y conservada, y es un lujo que prácticamente todas las estancias puedan recorrerse. La casa y los jardines son una maravilla, todo muy bien cuidado. El personal es amable y atento, y la audioguía mediante códigos QR facilita mucho la visita. Además, es fácil aparcar en las proximidades. Un lugar que merece la pena conocer.
