We visited the patios (courtyards) only for 8€ although there is an option to go in the house as well for extra 4€. Very beautiful collection of 12 courtyards with various themes and history. Very well kept. Visited in January so not as much flowering as rest of year but still lovely. About 15 minute walk from Mezquita and definitely worth it

Outstanding family villa/palace dating back several centuries. The interior rooms are well-preserved and show how the home developed over the different eras. Including a tour of the gardens in your ticket price is a must. The gardens surround the house and are as varied as all the individual rooms. Your tour will be in Spanish only. Non-Spanish speakers will get a printed brochure and you'll tag along behind the group.

The house is crammed with beautiful art and antiques but can only be visited as part of a pre booked tour. The tour takes about an hour and is provided in Spanish only. None Spanish speakers are provided with a basic informational leaflet that is easy to follow as the tour progresses. The written aspect of the tour is not perfect the visit to the house is not to be missed. The surrounding patio gardens are beautiful even out of season. Be sure to pre book the house tour which can be done online because the group numbers are relatively small.

Lovely place to visit and the gardens are really interesting. Worth booking on a tour of the palace although they are in Spanish and you get an English booklet. Tour takes about 45 mins so need to factor that in.

For 12 euros you can visit the beautiful courtyards and have a guided tour of the castle which is in Spanish only, but a leaflet in English is available that covers the main points and the most prominent artefacts…this tour lasts roughly for an hour and no photography allowed inside. If you only want to see the courtyards only there is a charge of 8 euros and you can wander around at your own pace and take as many pictures as you like and you will as they are very colourful. There is an excellent cafe outside the palace gates where you can eat and drink and relax after walking about…also a small shop inside the palace

It's a splendid little palace. Its contents, including magnificent gobelins and many paintings, furniture settings, etc. were in a condition that we had never really seen. Stuff that is 500+ years old in mint condition, not faded. How do/did they do it! The only thing is, why not make available English audio guides sinstead of having to follow through with a Spanish-only guide? (A French guy asked the guide: we're eight of us, do you mind if I translate for my group after you say your piece? The guide answered: No, this is a Spanish tour!) We have found the reluctance to accommodate English an inhibiting factor throughout our Spanish route (3 weeks).) But again, do add this gem to your list!

Arrived just 10 mins after opening before it gets too crowded. Toured only the 12 patios as I am not particularly interested in stuffy old furniture and rooms. There are English signs for each of the patios, some with very colourful names indeed eg Patio of the Lost Cats! Every patio had its own unique feature, all were beautiful.

We visited the patio gardens and palace ground floor option. So beautiful, what an amazing find. You must visit for a couple of hours when in Cordoba. Outside is a lovely cafe for a drink and snack when finished.

This palace is situated to the east of the main tourist area of the city, but it’s worth the walk to seek out this oasis of tranquility. The gardens comprise 12 individual, large patio areas, each with its own theme. Info boards explain the history and planting of each area. The colours are vibrant. The water features cooling. There are seats to just sit and enjoy the ambiance. Stunning to enjoy this green interlude in the middle of a busiling urban city. Inexpensive too.
