    Absolutely stunning! A beautiful setting to capture the spirit of Spanish Colonial living and the lifestyle that accompanied that privileged position and station. Built during the Marcos era this museum is one of the more spectacular creations during a difficult time in the Philippines history.

    Fee to enter: 75 pesos/adult, cash only. CC or mobile payment not accepted. We visited on a Sunday and expected it would be busy but aside from a tour group, the place was not crowded. This is a an old Spanish house that was renovated and furnitures were added to showcase how the elites lived during that time. The areas of the house were labelled with detailed explanations. What I saw was nothing special from the old houses in Negros and Iloilo that we visited. What I find interesting was the bath tub by the terrace and the toilets. If you've been to other old Spanish homes, you'll find similar stuff. It was a very hot day and there's no AC. I hope they are able to preserve the items displayed without a humidifier or ACU. Took us less than 30mins to go around the house.

    As we were wandering Intramuros, my wife wanted to take a peek into a restaurant and I said why? I don’t want to go here. And she was all… let’s just look! And then we went in and I was glad to be wrong for the first time in my life. My wife decided that day that she didn’t want to leave me because I admitted defeat. She decided not to devour me that day. It was great seeing Spanish architecture. It was unlike anything we’ve seen at that time period. We would love to visit Vigan one day.

    Surprisingly great museum complex! The historic home is beautiful and very interesting, the complex itself is gorgeous, and there is shopping, a cheap but clean bathroom, and coffee inside as well! It’s also a great spot for photo shoots!

    There really should be no excuses to visit this place. Every Filipino should go to this place to understand a part of our culture and tradition. While really not a real Spanish colonial house (built in the 80’s), the feel and experience while walking along the carpeted floors is truly authentic. The furnitures , from the largest aparador to the smallest trinket, are truly impressive! I wouldn’t mind going back here (for just ₱75!) and bring friends and be proud of our heritage!
