  • I have to give this 5 stars for its rich simplicity and authenticity. The house and cellars of the museum were decorated as if to take you back in time. The artwork is another added bonus to the museum. It’s not large but still is rich with works of art. I loved it and one Can visit, study, learn and not be overly tired.
  • If you want to see something exceptional visit this museum. The art is just perfect. The garden is small, bit full of life, the overall atmosphere is just like a time machine, taking you back in time
  • If you’re a Greco fan, this is a must go place to visit as it has a vast selection of his paintings. If you don’t speak Spanish or understand it, you will find it hard to understand any of the signage as it’s all in Spanish which is a shame. However, I would still recommend a visit. I believe you have to pay for entry however we were lucky on the day and we didn’t have to pay an entry fee
  • Really surprised how good this was and was surprised it was free entry (this might be temporary?) Initially a beautiful garden and old house, it then just keeps going with more artworks and rooms. I'm not a huge fan of the style of Greco's work but the telling of his story gave me a real appreciation of him and Toledo. Excellent!
  • attractive museum in a restored house from Rl Greco times. There are also ots of paintings and even more presented on the screens. They even made a chapel for more authentic feeling. The garden is also exceptional attractive and maintained. With lots of tipical trees from Mediteranians. The personnel was atentive and good English speaking.
