★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Casa Gilardi is a special and interesting space to explore. Built by Luis Berragon as a special commission for a bachelor house, it's a must for your architectural tour of Mexico City. This incredible place is still owned and lived in by the family that commissioned it and has been labeled as being part of the emotional architecture movement and it's not hard to see why. The property has many inspiring qualities and every angle you take in contains something else surprising. Do yourself a favor and put it on your list of things to see!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited in october 2021 + it was a extraordinarily special tour to be a part of. The tour guide is incredibly knowledge + forthcoming with information. The house itself is breath taking. Well worth a visit.
However i visited again yesterday in february 2022 + was completely devastated. The tour has gone from 8 people private + personal to 32 people. The tour guide gave no information + allowed people to wonder about the home without any guidance. The home itself was in disarray as an exhibit was being removed. There was construction work art wrapped up in frames, cardboard and other materials lying about the house. The host also allowed guests to take photos so this once special place became an instagram posting haven. It was truly upsetting to see the last house barragán built being treated this way. It felt like a money grab as i don’t believe the house was in any shape to be toured + the tour guide was not in any shape to lead a tour. In the future i would suggest that the family take the days in between exhibits off + wait the house to be returned to its natural state.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is pretty but outrageously overpriced! I appreciate it’s highly rated but to pay $30 to see some painted walls and a couple of rooms with interesting lighting is not worth it at all.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Overpriced. The full house is not available for visit. The space needs more ambience and experience. The pool was dirty. Living room needs interior design ASAP. The pictures were more magical than real life. Good spot for taking instagram pictures and “engaging” on social media.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not worth $30 USA dollars for seeing just a living room and a pool. It would be nice if they were honest when you make the reservation so you know that you will only see two spaces and not the full house. Nice tour tho.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Super beautiful place! What made it even better was that our tour guide grew up in the house.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was on the pricey side, considering it was Mexico and I felt they were charging us in dollars. The owner did say Mexico calls it a historic/ heritage building but doesn't offer funding which leaves her to deal with the maintenance of it herself, which then I understood the price was justified, for Americans. It was a beautiful house and even though its currently being lived in, kept as true to the original design intent as ever.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a beautiful house! Carlos did a great job explaining the history of the house. The tour costs around USD 30 per person but I definitely recommend a visit for those who love design and architecture.
