Shiplike former home & burial site of poet Pablo Neruda, including a museum with exhibits.
Casa de Isla Negra in Graneros
Description
The house and its view is beautiful. The house is full of history and stories of its curious and interesting owner. The audio tour guide they provide though its not good, its too much information for each room. The tour guides they had years ago were much more memorable and engaging. We were very disappointed by this change, hopefully they will bring back the tourists guides instead of the audio guide. Tip: feel free to ask questions to the attendants (overseeing people they are friendly and at least the lady with who we talked knew a lot of interesting things.
MoreThe experience of being in the house where Neruda spent the last years of his life is magical. We analyze many details and objects of the place with their narration devices, which are available in Spanish, English and Portuguese. I went there about 16:10 and could only enter the house one hour later, because of the long line.Not only the interior of the house is amazing, but the view is also magnificent, the beach and the seagulls and the clear sky... It was totally worth the price.
MoreVery nice museum with gorgeous surroundings!!!
Beautiful place, the house is very niceIs a museum
Must go. Nerudas house is definitely an experience! Even if youre not into poetry or history, this is a place worth visiting.
MoreOne of the most beautiful houses of Nerudas... Full of precious thing that hes got from his trips. Quite harmoniously arrange in the house, each of the rooms in the house are prepared in a special way and has a inner meaning for him. Quite amazing. Thank you
MoreThe museum itself was stunning and very informative but I saw one older lady staff member making fun of someones weight behind their back and thought it was disgusting behaviour. I really hope that older lady that sits in the projector movie room gets fired because it put a damper on the whole experience. She should be ashamed of herself. The picture of the lady that was so rude is attached to this review.... she should be fired for her disrespectful behaviour
MoreBeautiful place to experience Pablos lifestyle and understand a bit of what inspired him as a poet! Must place to go for anyone wanting some inspiration and love in your life
MoreWe had a very enjoyable wonder around Pablo Nerudas house here with included audio-guide. It really is unique and quirky! Great views from the grounds too. Free parking on the nearby streets.
MoreThe view is stunning but beware the traveler, there is a scam being had by the parking attendant we encountered and a group of young guys. Unclear if it was sex trafficking or a potential robbery. Our tire was stabbed, we were targeted in the parking lot and the attendant was definitely in on it, we overheard them all taking. We managed to get out of a very serious situation an be this was during the off season.
MoreVisited one of the houses of Pablo Neruda. Its excellent to see one of his houses and listen to history and see the cozy house and collectibles. Worth visiting!
MoreVery kind personnel. Very interesting house to see, even if youre not a huge Neruda follower. Theres not much else in the town though.
MoreOne of Pablo Nerudas houses. Its an impressive living memory museum. It has an audio tour, and the most fascinating things are all the different strange objects he collected. Staff is helpful. However, its a small place, groups of 10 are allowed and must take turns to move around the house.The view and surroundings are stunning.
Moregreat tour, great house. I dont understand how it actually functioned as a house, seems like for a community he had a lot of accumulated wealth and unnecessary trinkets and dedicated rooms to house them that served no other purpose. Amazing view of the pacific and really interesting palce
MoreGreat house with a beautiful view. Rich in history. They provide Audio guide for Visiting Pablo Narudas House
MoreBy far the best of the three Neruda house museums, with the oddly eclectic interests of its former occupant absolutely showcased throughout. However, suffers many of the same problems as the others in that, ultimately, all this shows is the unending depths of Nerudas narcissism, and his contempt for fellow humans despite his flowery words and extravagantly socialist politics.
MoreThe house of Pablo Neruda is stunning and the tourist guiding is on a very high level.
MoreROBBED!!! DO NOT PARK ANYWHERE NEAR THE MUSEUM. We went to the museum which does not provide parking and we parked near it. By the time we got out( 30 min maybethe security guy came and told us our car got broken in. They took EVERYTHING, at least 7 bags: laptops/ clothes/ shoes/ underwear/ camera/ toiletries/ medicine. EVERYTHING!!!!!!! The police are super weak. WE had to search for buildings with video cameras. Later we were told that there robberies happen all the time. PUT A F***ING SIGN SO PEOPLE DONT PARK THERE!!!!!!!!!
MoreThe house is beautiful (we only saw the outsidebut the true attractions for us were the rocks below the house and the giant waves crashing against them while the sun painted the sky.
MoreExcellent exhibit of what was the home of Pablo Neruda. Stunning view of the chilean coast. Contrary to what the name of the name implies "isla" (island in Spanishit is located on the main land.
MoreWith audio guide on different languages, beautiful museum of Pablo Nerudas homes. You must pay this entrance, it is not necessary to request time to the visit.
MoreIts a must see in Chile. Take your time and come. Pablo Neruda had a very interesting life which is reflected in the huge amount of object he collected. The museum is well maintained and the audioguides are super useful. If you arrive a little bit before you can go around the gardens and the beach. After you should go for an empanada close to the road.
MoreWorth it just to see Nerudas fantastic figurehead collection; you dont even have to pay entry to the museum and just take in the wonderful scenery that was his backyard.
MoreDreamy and lovely house directly next to the Pacific Ocean. Worth a visit.
A small local museum/house of a famous poet. Also has a tour with a handheld speaker you can hold up to your ear and have a self tour at your own pase.
MoreTotal, experience, interesting...+ scenery
AdventureGo tour guide Brad explaining the importance of Pablo and his beautiful home. Great little museum and a beautiful scenery.
MoreReally emotional tour, tear shedding at some points, mesmerizing at others, a unique opportunity to have a peek inside Nerudas mind. A must see to whoever goes to Chile and worth of the trip from Santiago.
MoreIf you want to see only one house of Neruda, you have to see this one.I was touched by this experience,And to learn about the poet and his life. A memory to treasure.
MoreWhat a wonderful surprise, visiting Pablo Nerudas home. A creative genius manifested in all its details. Definitely a must see!
MoreThe place is great with a nice view. I think the tickets are a bit pricy. The restaurant outside is beautiful, but I didnt have time to eat there
MoreUnmissable visit!!!The House of Pablo Neruda in Isla Negra is one of the 3 houses of the famous chilean poet, today converted into an interesting museum to visit.It has a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. In one of his poems Neruda wrote about the view of this house: "The Pacific Ocean went off the map. There was no where to put it. It was so big, messy and blue that it did not fit anywhere. Thats why they left it in front of my window."Do not miss the visit to this house, it is a big house of wonderful architecture, it has all the furniture and objects that belonged to the poet and his wife and its decoration is very special and original. Most of the objects and things that the house has had a meaning for Pablo Neruda and several of the eccentricities of the poet are reflected in them. He had an original and particular way of living and that is reflected in all his houses, made to measure and according to his creativity.The visit includes an audio guide in several languages that tell you the history of the house and its furniture and objects and the entrance costs approximately 20 dollars.In this house Nerud spent his last days.The museum has a beautiful and very rich seafood restaurant, where you can wait for the turn of your visit.Don´t miss it!!!
MoreFantastic! Its the best Nerudas house to visit, among the three of them. You can really feel like what it was to be at the poets life. Lots of personal objects that helps to tell the story of Pablos life. A helpful audioguide fulfills the tour. Theres a tiny gift shop at the end of the tour
MoreBeautiful landmark‼️ Very good tourist guides too.
Very interesting place. The tour is done with audio players with different languages. You can connect headphones to the audio player.
MoreLovely views of Isla Negra, wonderful insight into the life of one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Nerudas final and most loved home is full of interesting objects he collected from all over the world - mastheads, shells, furniture, art. Absolute must visit if youre passing through Santiago/Valparaiso.
Morenobel laureate pablo nerudas house is also like a poem. small interconnected rooms with distinct feature, as if lines of a poem with the same rhythm. good collectibles. feels like that the poet keeps everything of him in the house, so that people come and look for him, but probably he himself left for unending sea waves.
MoreOff the beaten path but appears to be a big destination for Chileans. The scenery from the house is incredible and the home is basically a collection of randomness built into a fun quirky design. The audio guides offered in multiple languages are awesome
MoreBeautiful and astonishing place, totally worth it.
Absolutely amazing! A must see if youre anywhere near Isla Negra. The tour of Pablo Nerudas house and audio guide is well worth the price.
MoreOne of the three Pablo Neruda houses, definitely worth the effort of visiting despite slightly more remote yet stunning location on the shore of the Pacific.
MoreBeautiful views and great food. The Pisco Sour was awesome. Machas a la parmesana and camarones al pil pil were our appetizer choices. Try this place, youll love it.
MoreI didnt like audioguías that much but I enjoyed a lot the house and its decorations. Neruda lived a very interesting life and you should go to his last house to know a little more about him. Its expensive to enter it.
MoreLovely place. What a view and nice exhibition. Minus on the audio tour though. One should have a live guide at a poets museum...
MoreThe design is really nice, you will be able to identify the different scenarios in this house.
MoreMagical setting to the life and works of one of humanitys literary champions. All collected items hold some sort of spiritual presence. Especially blown away by the collection of sea shells.
MoreNice reminiscence to lengendary Poet Pablo Neruda
Most amaizing beach house, boat/marine oriented, speachless....
Poet Pablo Nerudas house museum in the beach town of Isla Negra.The place its lovely: the enormous collection of art, artefacts and furniture. The view of the beach and the garden are beautiful and the restaurant in the museum offers a nice variety of delicious sea food and fish.My only dislike is that if youd like to learn about Pablo Nerudas work or his life as a politician theres nothing. So it works great for a day out at the beach, visit the house of a Nobel Prize winner and have a tasty lunch with a great view. But if you wanted to learn about his poetry or his legacy as a politician, try the library!
MoreRemember, once you get there you have to go on waiting list and wait for your ticket(about 1 hour, weekday). Its better to come in the morning. Less people.We didnt have enough time to wait. Surrounding area is very nice to walk around!
