Great museum in what was Antonio Machado's pension during the thirteen years he lived in Segovia. It is advisable to purchase the audio guide that serves as an impeccable aid in the tour of the various rooms that remain as they were a hundred years ago, from the kitchen to the bedroom, including the bathroom, living room and other rooms. Also noteworthy are some objects that, although they were not from his stay, do have to do with him or are later tributes, photos of his life and his family, as well as published books of his authorship. The visit is recommended. The theatrical representation that they make of their life at specific times is very interesting and enjoyable, although I found the time spent waving a republican flag excessive. A reference can be made, but that boast seems excessive and unnecessary to me and is unpleasant, there will be people those who love it of course. Since the photograph of the socialist youth in Valencia that is in the room next to the bedroom also seemed out of place and unrelated to his stay in Segovia, now if what you want to expose is his life, then okay, if it is his stay in Segovia is not worth it to me, there are people in it as undesirable as the ones they were fighting against.

Buenos dÃas Francisco José.
Muchas gracias por su reseña.
Nos ayuda mucho cada opinión que el visitante expone de su paso por la Casa-Museo ya que asà podemos seguir trabajando en mejorar la calidad tanto del servicio dado por nuestros trabajadores como del interior del museo. Efectivamente las fotografÃas expuestas en el interior hacen referencia a su vida en general, son fotos de archivos que se han ido descubriendo a lo largo de los años. No se intenta ir más allá de dar a conocer como fue su vida y cómo era él fÃsicamente, ya que la audio guÃa como usted indica tiene una información bastante completa de todas sus facetas, literarias, polÃticas y sentimentales.
Esperamos poder disfrutar de su visita de nuevo en un futuro.
Reciba un cordial saludo.

An interesting house where this poet lived while In Segovia. He was clearly much admired and this comes across well as you walk through this house. Great to see how people lived at this time and to explore one of the houses. An audio guide is part of the entrance fee

While many palaces are places where people lived, they rarely give the feeling of intruding on the intimacy of its inhabitants that a regular house does. It is moving to walk around in the sober house where the poet and writer Machado lived, and see the objects by which he was surrounded.

I enjoyed this but I like house tours - if you don't you may wonder what you are doing there!
I was not familiar with this man's work but it was really good to see how life was in those days. Furniture is almost all original as is the kitchen and bathroom - so very interesting.
Audio was sometimes spotty - same story on different numbers.

I had studied Machado's poetry, so this was a meaningful visit, and took me back to my student days. If you haven't heard of him, I don't think the house would be of any interest. I did the forty minutes with an audio guide in English, and thought it a great insight into his life and times. Only €2.50 too.

This museum is touching because of all the photos of the poet Antonio Machado, his family, and friends, as well as the rooms he lived in, including kitchen and bedroom. There are also some letters and writings of Machado. Ther museum is also quite touching because it conveys how Machado lived. I think the museum is well worth seeing.

The entrance to this house-museum is not very obvious other than a sign. Entrance ticket is 2.50 euro with audio headset. Flash photography allowed but not video. This house-museum is well preserved in its original state, hence simple and unassuming. The audio guide is useful to give a glimpse of the life of Antonio Machado. One can view the many rooms with its exhibits - furniture, bed, desk, household stuff, photos, articles etc.
There were only a few visitors when I was there. A good thing as the rooms are small. Worth a visit if time permits.

Humble guesthouse, now plenty of memories of the writer life. Interesting compilation of his work, personal documents, pictures and details of his life. Something magical....

It is an interesting place. As you walk through the corridors and up the stairs it is obvious that it's a real house. It's lived in and not stuffed with antiques that are someone else's idea. Antonio Machado lived there and wrote poetry there just like it appears today. It still has his aura.

A historical museum but I don't think it's worth of paying it is small and not even worth to see in my opinion

La visita creo que era gratuita pero tuve la suerte de hacer la visita guiada por una persona que sabia muchisimo del poeta y fue un gusto pagar. Creo que fue 5 Euros pero no estoy segura
