"This romantic jewel is part of the Museo del Romanticismo, itself housed in a 1776 ornate palace that was once belonged to a marquis. An open secret among Madrileños, the garden allows visitors to isolate themselves from the noise of the popular Malasaña neighborhood. The garden cafe here — with its patio full of plants and trees, a decorative fountain, and tables scattered here and there — is a great place for a chill afternoon coffee. Visiting the garden is free, and it’s open every day during regular museum business hours." - MATADOR_NETWORK

On Saturday morning, I visited this museum that represents aristocratic families. I saw old cameras, beautiful pistols, different clocks, very delicate carvings. The 19th century was a noisy time for the whole world. China was experiencing the Opium War and Europe was experiencing the Industrial Revolution. But here we see beautiful and exquisite home furnishings. The beautiful and small courtyard and the many romantic art paintings in the house bring us back to a small corner of history. The villa is not big, but it is a happy and comfortable paradise for children. Of course, the old-fashioned high heels are also very interesting...

I actually intended to go to Museo de Cerralbo but it was a thursday, I have limited time in Madrid and there was a queue due to entrance being free on Thursday afternoon. So I visited this museum and it went beyond my expectations. It was beautiful inside with classic demonstrations of Romantic Period. It is rather smaller but it is definitely worth your time.

We went on a Sunday so it was free. It's worth a visit as it's cheap and there are some beautiful pieces in the rooms. It wasn't overly crowded. Employee at the front desk was nice. Plan to spend an hour or more depending on how fast you go through each area and if you take any pictures. Our Airbnb wasn’t far so we just walked over here.

Very well preserved roman place! It has been refurbished very well respecting all remaining, it’s a must if you love ancient roman culture.

This was a very nice museum, filled with many beautiful paintings and antiques. They have many rooms that are fully decorated, although really not much on the topic of romanticism. I would still recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.

A good museum with some pretty pieces. The paintings are beautiful, some of the toys/games are impressive, and it's always interesting to see rooms set up as they might have been for the people who originally lived there. If you are not too far away, this is definitely a good place to spend half an hour looking at the collection. I got there early and was the only one walking around; it's a little unnerving to have the security people follow you but I get it.

It's a fantastic museum and a lovely indoor terrace as well! And most importantly, free ticket 🎫 😄

Happened to pass by this museum the other day and got to enter for free. Though it was around 30 minutes before closing, I got to have a quick tour of the entire top floor but it's a shame I didn't get to see the patio. Lovely hidden gem.
