Lope de Vega's House-Museum

One of the best quick free tours you can take. You just drop them an email, and they book a 30 min slot to tour the house. Its a really cool trip. The house is in original condition, the old books on all the shelves are amazing, you get a glimpse into the past. Really recommend it !!

Beyond beautiful and impressive. Although you have to take the guided tour and cannot wander on your own, it was still enjoyable. Guide is in Spanish, but the lady offered some translation. I was hoping to find an English version of the detailed museum guide. Maybe this is something to consider. I would come again to see the garden, it was crowded during my visit. And it is free. Reservation is required.

This was an incredible tour and the guide was so well informed and expressed the feeling and history of the time the house was lived in by Lope de Vega.

I had a great time here! They only do guided tours but when I came said tours were free. The guide we had was a really good storyteller and made everything really entertaining. And obviously Lopw de Vega was a very important writer for Spain so learning more about his personal life was very cool. The house itself is also just very pretty and worth seeing for yourself

I had time and was just wandering around for my last day in Madrid. I stumbled in there because I was looking for a free museum to spend some time in. At the entrance they told me that we could only visit with a guide (free) and that it needed to be booked in advance but I was lucky - and the staff was exceedingly kind to offer - to be able to join a tour in english an hour later.
The visit was very interesting, lasted about 45 minutes, and the guide very kind and knowledgeable.
Although I didn't know the author before, I thourgouhly enjoyed my time visiting the house, and went and bought 4 pieces by Lope the very afternoon of my visit.
I would have paid for that tour, without hesitation.

You need to call ahead to join a tour group, and I happened to email them to join one in english and was told one was available that weekend. It's not big, and the furniture are not original to the house, but original to the century. Lope de Vega was one of the more prolific writers of his time, and was able to father 17 children while writing literally over a thousand works. Our docent was really friendly and gave us a good tour.

A very lovely and immersive time! The reservation for a guided tour was quick and easy.
The guide was fantastic. She spoke in a clear and engaging way, making it easy to learn while enjoying la casa de Lope de Vega.
Overall a great experience that I recommend for anyone that is visiting Madrid and wants to learn more about its history and culture :)

Great tour, very informative. Our guide, Irene, was super knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting details. Totally recommended, especially given that it is free of charge, you only need to make reservation in advance by sending e-mail.

The house-museum of Lope de Vega is located in the street named after his competitor Cervantes! This contradict is only a glance of the busy exciting life of this pilar of Spanish literature, as it is told by the museum staff. I was super lucky to be the only one in the English guided tour, and had very special care, and one to one time, thanks to Iris! The house is full of stories in every single corner, and offers inside view to the daily life of baroque era. You should write an email or call for reservation before the visit for confirmation. Free entrance. Young, full of energy team, with inspiring vibes around. Don’t miss it.

Alba was a very professional, nice and attentive guide.
Good visit to understand better how was the way of life in Spain in 16th century, and to find out who was Lope de Vega, for those who don't know (like me). Plus the guide tour is free.

The tour guide, Gema, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Lope de Vega and his time. She also compared with vivid examples life in the xvi and xvii centuries and now. The house is full of relevant items. I particularly liked the bookcases with books.

What a delightful museum. I don’t know much about Lope de Vega but the building was beautiful. They had a nice collection of artwork and a beautiful garden outside.

I had a great tour guide a few weeks ago. This place is beyond nice and the educator is superb!

Julia is amazing and really nice historian.

We'll came back for sure!

Today was one of those magical days when time seemed to slow down, and I stepped into a different era. Waiting for my clothes at near by laundromat, I found myself at Casa Museo Lope de Vega, tucked away on Calle Cervantes.
Gema, our guide, was a storyteller extraordinaire. She recounted tales of Lope’s fiery romances, and other interesting points.
Casa Museo Lope de Vega isn’t just a museum; it’s a time capsule that any person with a literature passion will enjoy.
Special Thanks to our tour guide Gema.

An absolute gem you won't forget.
This historic house popped up on Google Maps near my hotel. What a wonderful surprise. I stopped by after breakfast and reserved a FREE 12:00 tour in English. The male guide with beard was just wonderful and so informative. Many interesting stories about Senior Vega. It's so fascinating to be inside a house from the 1500s. I enjoyed it more than the Royal Palace.

Nice tour with a very knowledgeable guide. If you want to learn not only about Lope de Vega’s life and work but also about life in the 16th century this is a good opportunity. It’s kid’s friendly and not too long so they don’t get bored.
It’s a free tour, but you need to book it in advance because groups are small which I think makes the visit even better.
Definitely recommend.

What a great tour! Our guide was lovely, and she got some really interesting facts and gossips about Lopez de Vega.
The house is stunning 👌🏼 and very well preserved. The garden is a must to enjoy the tranquility away from Madrid 🍃

A great visit. We pre booked a tour of the house which was really interesting. Great to see a house of the 17th century set out as it would have been. Our guide Gema was excellent, so informative and passionate about the subject. Looked round the small museum and garden afterwards. Worth a visit but definitely pre book as the tour is only available if you book beforehand.

What an excellent surprise to find a a guided tour with so much history. Christina took care to share every detail. Just a heads up you can only take in water no ther drinks.

The house was bought by Lope de Vega in 1610. It was opened as a museum in 1935.
It is quite a busy place: booking the tour tickets upfront is highly recommended.
