We have toured this great home before and always learn so much. We took their mortality & morning tour and received so much more information about the time period. It was great that it was not a ghost tour but about the practical traditions of the period of the home. Excellent tour!

This house is like a flower with so much history when you peel back the petals, each decade brings something new. How the house is decorated and the items in the room really help to tell the stories of those who called this place home. The dinning room and the parlors were very interesting to me. It is said their might be ghost here. My wife said she thought she saw the shadow of someone in the attic/servant quarters. The audio guided tour really helps.

This is an outstanding museum, full of history of the owners, the city and the “unseen hands” of the enslaved and indentured servants. We enjoyed every moment because we had a docent tour all to ourselves. Go in the morning when the museum opens. The gardener took time to tell us about the plants and trees while we sat in the garden. I thought I had reviewed the museum already.

Walk back in time and learn how people lived. The house was owned by 3 women, before it became a museum. It is was a boarding house, and different types of people lived there. It is our modern day version of a B & B.

I went to the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum as I was traveling through the area.I found this little museum on Aviles street and found it so fascinating. You’ll learn about the history of the house as well as the people who owned it. Make sure to come by this wonderful tour, so worth it.

I have been to this museum before but it was such as great little hidden-gem that I just had to go back, and bring my family along with me. We decided to take an audio tour this time and we thought it was so wonderful and informative. Highly recommended!

My visit to the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum was excellent! I took the audio tour and it was so informative. I felt like I was immersed in the history of the house. After my audio tour, I looked around the gift shop and chatted with the staff. They were so sweet and answered every question that I had about the house. I had so much fun and I will definitely be back soon!

Charming experience. A photographer's dreamscape. History buff's delight. Ashley the tour guide was so welcoming and informative. She answered every question and didn't rush the visit. I parked on metered street about 5 minutes away. Bottled water available for purchase in gift shop. Restrooms available.

We stumbled upon the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum on social media and decided to check it out on our recent trip to St. Augustine. What a lucky find! We opted for the audio tour, which was informative and engaging, bringing the history of the house and its past residents to life.

As their brochure states, “every room has a story”. This coquina structure built in 1798 is owned by the non-profit organization Colonial Dames and is an excellent testimony of life in St Augustine during the early 1800’s. Tour guide Ashley did a fine job. The structure is preserved as it wound have been during its time as a boarding house for the upper middle-class and serviced by enslaved people. It is located directly across the street from the B&B Casa de Solana (1739) on the very beautiful Aviles Street.
