This is an amazing museum. It's actually Dali's house as it was when he lived there with all the original furnishings. It's as unique and creative as his art, and should not be missed. The garden area is as stunning as the house. Also, the setting is an absolute bonus, built on a rocky bluff overlooking the Mediteranean sea. The... More

An unusual piece of sprawling architecture with some interesting artifacts and a bit of art along the way. Make sure you book in advance as it is often sold out. More

It was a nice tour of Dali and wife's funky artist house in a beautiful location. Fun. Warning: you must book your tickets in advance. I did so over the internet about 6 weeks in advance. As far as I could tell, everyone who showed up without a reserved ticket was turned away. More

I didn't enjoy the house as much as Dali's museum in Figueras but it is definitely in a very picturesque location and worth checking out if you have the time. Full of the usual Dali eccentricities. Make sure you book in advance! They only let in 8 people every 30 minutes. More

This was special - have always loved his art but I was just as fascinated by his sense of humour and intellect. Dali obviously never had a dull moment. Every room was uniqued and highlighted all aspects of this intellect and humour as well as the art. More

We visited on a Sunday out of the main system. The house is relatively small so only 8 people can go in at a time. Booking ahead is essential and they gave us the €8 booking fee back when we paid for our tickets. If OAP take proof and you pay €3 less. The house is in a lovely seaside... More

Really, what's not to like - put yourself back in time to the swinging sixties in repressed Spain, but in a dream-like location. More

The visit is quite specific as to day and time and the group of 15 is shepherded through the various rooms of the eccentrically furnished and outfitted house. The house is so completely a product of Dali's artistic vision that the visit is really instructive. I particularly liked the gardens and the amazing pool area. Every detail throughout is worth...
