A beautiful villa overlooking Ponce. It is a very attractive home full of antiques and decorative pieces. I found it interesting to see how people in the 1930's lived in Puerto Rico. The views are nice and the gardens and pool are lovely

This museum estate of the Serralles Family is a window on the era of rum(sugar cane) production in Pueto Rico at the turn of the last century. The mansion (circa 1930) is worth a visit for its architecture and the attractive open central courtyard. A movie about the family is shown in Spanish with English subtitles, but tours may be...

I was pleasantly surprised with my visit to Castillo Serralles. At the beginning of the guided tour you are treated to a short film on the beginnings of Castillo Serralles and the business of the Serralles family--rum. It was an economics lesson for early 20th century Puerto Rico. The family actually started their business during the Depression/Prohibition period (the side...
