Conjunto histórico,
Casa de los Balcones

El interior es impagable Ya es espectacular esta casa y las de los alrededores con esas asombrosas balconadas altas de madera de tea. (Por lo visto, tenían la función de un lugar para almacenar el grano, según nos dijo una guía, algo parecido a un hórreo.) La madera de tea es la del pino canario que resiste sin mantenimiento al paso del tiempo y nunca se pudre, según nos contó otro guía.
Pero, si se entra al interior de la casa, por 5€, se queda uno boquiabierto. Se visita la planta alta subiendo por una preciosa escalera de caracol de madera con celosías y, desde el balcón interior, a un lado un precioso patio y, al otro, en el interior, las dependencias de la cocina, despensa, dormitorio, salón y biblioteca tal y como debía ser hace más de trescientos años. Una verdadera joya, un pequeño museo etnográfico.

Отличный музей Музей небольшой, но весьма насыщенный, огромное количество экспонатов, имеется магазин, правда цены в нем очень большие...

Magnifica esperienza Nella magnifica cittadina di La Orotava si trova questa casa mueso, con le varie stanze che ancora conservano intatte le atmosfere di un tempo... La tavola con la giusta tovaglia, le belle posate della domenica ed un'infinità di piccoli accorgimenti. Tenuta veramente molto bene, bella esperienza.

Interesting but overhyped Casa de Los Balcones is a fairly modest experience which doesn't quite deliver on the considerable hype and promotion that surrounds this attraction.
Access is limited to one floor and you only get to walk around a small part of the first balcony. Obviously aware that they need to justify the entrance fee, they have tried hard to add further interest but after you have seen what they are going to let you see of the building itself, everything else feels token and a bit of an afterthought.

Included in the entrance fee is an audioguide (which you can download) but it is delivered in a strangulated english accent which makes it quite hard to listen to for very long without wincing.

On the plus side, there is a free car park opposite which is much appreciated in a town with few parking spaces. Though the gift shop is mostly full of tourist tat, the highlight for us was the collection of Canarian embroidery which Casa de Los Balcones is clearly making considerable efforts to preserve and make available to those that can appreciate the craftmanship and distinguish from the Chinese garbage that most tourists buy thinking it's Canarian. The memory of this beautiful work will live with me long after I have forgotten the museum proper.

A la base ....je voulais pas y aller et ..... Je voulais pas y aller mais ma chérie m a forcé !! Et là, .....après avoir télécharger gratuitement le guide en français .....ce fut un délice d écouter le commentaire des pièces ( salon, cuisine, WC....)puis se régaler les yeux de cette demeure et son jardin intérieur !! Superbe !!!! Foncez !!!!!

Bonito museo Casa museo de como eran esas casas coloniales en esta zona.. muy bien conservada y agradable de visitar.

Sehenswerter Ort Wer ein bisschen mehr Einblick in die frühere Lebensweise der Bewohner der Region erhalten möchte, ist hier richtig. Anhand von vielen alten Gebrauchsgegenständen wird der Alltag in früherer Zeit skizziert. Dazu gibt es einen Audioguide per App, der auch auf deutsch verfügbar ist. Hier kann man entspannt eine Std verbringen und in die Geschichte und Kultur der Insel eintauchen.

Molto interessante Casa museo davvero molto interessante, con arredi e suppellettili originali, stanze lasciate intonse e piccoli oggetti di artigianato. Molto gentile la signora all’ingresso, che mi ha anche offerto una birra. Ingressi a 5€ gli adulti. Consiglio la visita anche con bambini

neat house. no info about it The house itself was neat. I liked that the rooms were furnished. The ticket seller was NOT NICE,
The" audio guide" is now accessible through your phone IF you want to spend your data trying to upload each room separately. Wifi wasn't working, so I really could not access the information.

parking is available across the street and down a very steep dirt/rocky road.
