A very small but fascinating museum. You could almost feel the writer's presence throughout. Well worth a visit. I went early Sunday and found it was free Sundays and holidays - not that I would mind paying.

Having been a long-time fan of Don Quixote, a visit to the Casa Cervantes was near the top of my list of things to do in Valladolid. Though it is naturally a re-created space, the choices of furniture, textiles, ceramics, woodwork, and metalwork are quite convincingly done and atmospheric. Downstairs is a charming little library, and the two small outdoor spaces are great to explore, as well. If you have visited and enjoyed the similarly well-done Lope de Vega House Museum in Madrid, then you will not be disappointed here. Oh, the friendly, eager to help, and knowledgable staff are pretty darn great, too . . .

I enjoy visiting writers'houses ,for me it is great to dream and to feel the man who lived here ,while writing his books .Miguel de Cervantes lived in this house in Valldolid when the first edition of Don Quixote was published .He stayed here between 1604-1606 in a modest building .In 1948 the house was converted into a museum ,the principal patron was Marquis of Vega Inclan who saved the building .I entered the hall where I could see the paintng The Battle of Lepanto ,hung on the wall ,reminding me that Cervantes fought in a battle and lost the mobility of his left arm .I passed through the estrado (reception room ) covered with rugs ,a very decorated room ,a special place reserved for women .I felt the scent of old times in the library ,in the bedroom ,in the kitchen and in the so called dining room .Iliked the courtyard ,little and peaceful .I visited the house on a Sunday ,admission was free .

I visited this museum while in Valladolid for a Cervantes-Shakespeare conference; part of my literary research is on Cervantes. This is not a museum. It is a big lie. There is almost no scholarship anywhere in it. No information about Cervantes. No plaques explaining what things are. The supposed information plaques are nothing more than quotations of lines from Don Quixote. This is worthless. One learns nothing about Cervantes. Then the front desk person, the first floor guide and the second floor guide all told me different information about how much of the house is authentic. It seems that probably none of it is. It is a fake museum. A museum for the greatest Spanish writer should be run (or at least designed) by scholars (like the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust houses in Stratford-upon-Avon are).

The house is a museum laid out as it might have been at the time Cervantes was living there. Living rooms, bedroom, and kitchen and more. Lovely small courtyard garden which is peaceful in spite of being on a main thoroughfare

Nice stop in town to meet the story of one of the best Spanish writer's. However, I was a bit disappointed to see that the house has been refurbished and redecorate many times so even trying to keep the original essence, it feels a bit fake sometimes. The tour was lovely, good explanations about his life and novels.

This little museum consisting of a tiny house and tiny garden Ming place to sit and enjoy the surrounding is well worth visiting. Entry was free on Sunday. We were given a sheet which explains the highlights of the house. Written on the walls are quotes and extracts from Cervantes books. The house is furnished with rye facts and furniture from the period. The garden is a cool green oasis in a busy hot city

For a minimal cost you have both a history of the author and Spanish home life.
Somewhat formal self guided tour (staff are very watchful and suspicious of any movement close to any object) but very interesting and well worth an hour of your time

This is the house of Miguel de Cervantes, the most important Spanish writer. Cervantes lived in this house in 1604, when he moved to Valladolid with his family.
The two courtyards are very nice, I love the statues dedicated to Mr. Archer Huntington, an American intellectual who founded the Hispanic Society of America in NYC.
The house has an amazing library, different rooms, and a picturesque kitchen. I also love the Battle of Lepanto painting.

An interesting little place that is free to charge to visit.

The place is not huge and is really only an old furnished house with some quotes from ‎Don Quixote on the wall, but it is a pleasant enough way to pass 30 to 45 minutes looking around.
