Museo Castillo Serrallés

You'd think as a former local, I would've been here a long time ago! I thought it was just hype, but the place is actually very nice and I learned a lot from it! Be aware there's not a lot of "official" parking space. We parked on the side of the road near the ticket office. One ticket also gives you access to la Cruzeta de Vigia and el Jardín Japonés (I highly suggest you do all three, you won't regret it!). The first thing I noticed is the abundance of bathrooms! They are everywhere which is so nice! None of the parks are wheelchair accessible. You can't take photos of the inside of the Museo de Serrallés, but you can take photos everywhere else. The inside of the castle is tour-guided ONLY and our tour guide, Paola, was amazing with how quick and efficient her English/Spanish translation was. She'd put me to shame any day of the week! Truly impressed. The inside is GORGEOUS, by the way! Once the tour is done, you can wander the premises as much as you'd like. I got a Don Q spiked Piña Colado and we walked the beautiful gardens and aviary that had some VERY noisy macaws! Afterwards, we walked uphill to la Cruzeta de Vigia (must see, but be aware of a lot of steps) and then the Jardín Japonés. I really enjoyed the entire visit.

A quick yet incredibly informative tour! Castillo Serrallés is absolutely stunning—perched on a hill in Ponce, this historic mansion was once home to the family behind the famous Don Q rum. Every corner of the house is rich with history you can truly feel. A beautiful and inspiring experience!

Did the tour here and it was incredible! The staff were so nice and super knowledgeable. The views were incredible! The tour starts off with a drink that is absolutely incredible then you learn the process of how rum is made & end the tour with making your own drinks. Definitely recommend this experience!

Great little visit. The tour was fun and informative. Exploring the property after the tour was great. Drinks were pretty great as well!

Historic mansion built by the founders of Don Q rum distillery. Beautiful period furnishings and architectural features. Meticulous gardens.
