We visited the Ximenez-Fatio house on a recent trip with my wife's sister and her husband. The tours are scheduled and we missed one by just a few minutes and we almost didn't go back for the next tour. What a mistake that would have been. We learned so much, not only about the house and it's history but also... More

Really got a very good feel for life in the early 1800's. Can't believe life was so tremendously different and challenging then. Hard to believe it was the same country.

Read about this on Trip Advisor, and it was rated #1. I found it very interesting and very enjoyable. We were told that the tours were ongoing, but that is not true -- they are at set times. On our day the last tour started at 3:30 (fyi). I recommend this, it had a low fee & was quite interesting.... More
