Beautiful, richly ornamented house - for someone who loves the look of old house museums, I definitely preferred it to Casa Batllo next door. I just wish the setup didn't make you feel quite so rushed through it - you get an audioguide to take you through the house, but you have to be part of a guided tour in order to walk through, and the pacing of the audioguide is controlled by the tour guide. Which means unfortunately you don't get to linger and admire, or go through at your own pace. It was a great place to visit, but would have preferred to be able to go through on my own.

I came in the evening about 90 min before the closing time, but managed to get a guided tour with a few others. I had the "Barcelona Card Modernista" so did not need a reservation. It was an interesting layout and fun to go through. There is also a small shop to purchase their delicious chocolates! Worth a visit if you have the extra time.

Casa Amatller Casa Batlló and Casa Lleó-Morera make up three interesting buildings showcasing Gaudi's works. Casa Amatler was originally constructed in 1875 for an archaeological enthusiast Antoni Amatller. He passed away in 1910 but his daughter kept this place until 1960 when she passed away. As the original family kept this building for so long the interior remained original. Its role now is that it serves as a historic house, museum, café, and anda an Institute for Hispanic Art. Scheduled tours are available.

This was an unexpected gem that we kind of stumbled upon. It is right next to Casa Batlló, which is very busy. The lines for Casa Batlló are long, the price is a little steep. Casa Amatller is about 20€, it’s an audio-guided tour that lasts about 45 minutes. The house is beautiful, still in tact and in original state. There’s a wonderful cafe attached with great outdoor seating and an optional art exhibit that seemed very popular, we didn’t do that because we had a schedule, and it’s an additional fee.

We went specifically to visit the Sorolla exhibit, which was wonderful. It had a section on the artist's life and work, another section where you can create your own art work and have your "portrait " done, an immersive area surrounded by Sorolla's work, and finally a virtual experience. Well worth the visit. We did not visit the house, that is a separate ticket. But we did go by the peaceful Cafe on the patio, don't need a ticket for that and it is the perfect place to relax and get away from the crowds in Paseo de Gracia. There are also some tables inside in what it used to be the kitchen, and a nice gift shop. Don't miss the beautiful staircase and stained glass in the entrance way. Again, no need to buy a ticket to see that, but the rest of the house must be beautiful as well.

Went on a small group tour that was included with my Barcelona Modernista card entry (get it, it’s great!) and was amazed at how well preserved this place is. It’s a special glimpse into the past that celebrates the building and the people that lived in it. The architecture was so unique and staff were really friendly and helpful.

We had a fun time and chocolate was awesome. The house tour is worth it, but pay attention to the times there’s usually guided tours every morning in different languages (catalán, Spanish and English). There are some times that they will give you a small gift so look into it.

I highly recommend touring Casa Amatller. While I’m a huge Gaudí fan, I was blown away by this gem designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch in 1900. It’s a bit of a hidden treasure, so I got to explore it with just two other people, making the experience even more special. The tour was a fun mix of a staff-led walkthrough and audio guide. Casa Amatller is a dazzling example of Catalan modernism, perfectly preserved with all its original furniture and décor. The only thing missing is the original owners, Amatller and his daughter Teresa, whose stories add so much charm to the visit. Every inch of the house is a work of art, with incredible details that are breathtaking.
