The Museo Castillo Serrallés is the former home of the Serrallés family, producer of Don Q rum, and is a spectacular mansion located on one of the highest hills behind the city of Ponce. This residence once appeared on the A & E TV series: "Mansions of the Sugar Barons of the Caribbean". It's absolutely exquisite! Surrounded by beautiful tropical... more

First off, we don't speak Spanish anywhere well enough to take a tour in that language. So this maybe why the tour was so dry - the nice lady leading it was clearly stronger in Spanish than English. That said, the tour was quite dry. You watch a very old movie, then wander through the house. We never got real... more

The Serralles mansion (it is NOT a castle despite the name) is probably the best thing for visitors to do in Ponce. While I am NOT a huge fan of the city because it has become a bit seedy and isn't all that tourist-friendly, the mansion is terrific. It's well run, beautiful inside and out and a gem. In addition,... more

This museum was quite beautiful. Tours began on time with a short film about the history of the Castillo Seralles. Gorgeous gardens, nice view of Ponce city. I highly recommend a visit. more

During my visit in Puerto Rico, this was one of the places that I went and I have to say that is one of the nicest that I've seen in Puerto Rico! This is great little tour and very impressive gardens. Must see if you go to Puerto Rico! more

We waited 35 minutes for a tour. No photos inside & no postcards of photos of house for sale in shop. Too many people on tour at... more

Excellent tour! Very interesting and a must see! I recommend it to anyone visiting Ponce. more

The Castle was beautiful. If you love history you must visit this place. I have never in my life seen such a beautifully preserved treasure. The artifacts held in this castle are amazing and it would be a shame not to see them. The history behind it all is very informative and I can't stress enough how beautiful the place... more

The Castillo Seralles tour was very informative and relaxing. The tour guide was very knowlegeable about its history and occupants. Unfortunately, we had to wait an hour for the tour as there too many visitors and not enough guides. Also, there is no set time for the trolley to do its pickup at the mountain so our wait for the... more
