Fantastic

The most beautiful place I have ever visited. Everywhere you look there is artwork, statues - it’s hard to explain when you think it’s also a private house. Carlos our guide was excellent, very good English. You just must visit!

Visit this unusual home.

Possibly the greatest personal home you may ever visit.It has thousands of unusual Mexican artworks from furniture, tile artistry, pictures, paintings, sculptures, and many other objects. The owners live on the premises and often are your guides. Cost is a voluntary charity choice.
