Very impressively maintained casa. However, you will need a guide - personal or audio to appreciate all the detail. Be aware that there is different, higher, price if you want to visit upstairs, which is not made very clear when you buy the tickets. It gets very popular in the rain. Well worth the walk out to this place.

This comes directly 3rd place for me after the Alhambra (Granada) and the Alcázar. It has a weird mix of different styles though: Roman statues, arabian arches, different tiles, tapestry, marble and paintings. The price is 10€ for the groundlevel (includes audioguide) and 5€ extra (with personal guide) for the upper level. It makes sense to pay that extra, but our guide didn't speak English very well and honestly, I hardly understood what she was trying to say. Moreover, she was more than 10 minutes late while everyone was already waiting. The audio guide for the groundfloor (German) was rather horrible. You would think that they would have people record that who are able to fluently read and speak but this sounded rather like someone who just started reading was recording it. They had waaaay too many pauses and the chapters were too long with too much uninteresting stuff. Really, the German audio guide SUCKED. Please fix this and get people who can properly read. This is ridiculous. I only rated 4/5 because of the bad guides, both lower and upper level. The building itself is magnificient. Maybe it helps to ask in advance whether the upper tour will be in (proper) English. With guides I took 110 minutes but I also skipped a bit of the audio.

Small but very impressive, we did not take the audio guide, just casually walked from room to room and garden area. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit it was stunning, colorful with flowers and relaxing. If you have an hour or so, worth a visit.

This Andalusian palace was built between the 15th and 16th centuries and displays both Mudéjar and Gothic architectural styles whilst also being an example of an Italian Renaissance building. It is considered the prototype of the Andalusian palace. The Casa de Pilatos has around 150 different 1530s azulejo (Spanish glazed tile) designs, one of the largest azulejo collections in the world. Contrary to other reviews I took up the audio guide in English and found it easy to follow. I will agree the descriptions of each element were a little lengthy and at times I skipped forward. It’s not a must see, in my opinion, but we enjoyed our visit

We had an excellent tour guide which made all the difference. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the house, had a real passion for the history, and was so kind at answering all of our questions. It's a beautiful home again filled with gorgeous mosaics, fountains and lovely patios. It has a unique history with the establishment of a stations of the cross route that is still in use today. They also have a lovely gift shop where you can buy perfume created for the historic property.

This is well worth a visit - especially if you may not visit The Alcazar. The entrance fee of €10 covers the buildings and gardens downstairs and you can obtain the commentary on your phone. For an extra €5 you can receive the 45 minute guided tour upstairs and it is worth it. All together we spent a pleasant 90 minutes here. If you are hungry there are excellent cafes / bars just down the road.

What an amazing place. Much less busy than the cathedral and Acazar, and very beautiful. Well worth paying a little extra for the guided tour upstairs. Our guide was great, so interesting. Definitely worth visiting once you’ve seen the more famous tourist destinations in Seville.

A designated national monument, this is one of the finest palaces in Seville. Built in the 15th and 16th centuries it is believed to be a replica of Pilate's house in Jerusalem. The architecture is typical Andalusian with a central patio adorned with colorful ceramic tiles and antique sculptures. The Golden Room is beautiful with decorations and a collection of ancient Roman sculptures displayed throughout. Entry tickets include a free audio guide and there is a small additional charge for guided tours on the upper level.

A beautiful house and gardens which wasn't too busy. We had paid for a ticket before we arrived but it is actually free to EU visitors (inc UK) on Monday afternoons between 3pm and 6pm but you will need your passport or ID. Lovely courtyard with fountain, tiled walls in rooms and carved wooden ceilings as well as a pretty garden and you can go up the staircase to the upper floor although the apartments weren't open when we visited. Not expensive to visit and definitely worth seeing - make sure this is on your list.

This is a brilliant place I personally found it more impressive & interesting than the Real Alcazar. This maybe because it’s quieter & smaller with a much better audio guide but if the two I’d revisit Pilates again before Alcazar. The place has stunning interiors and a rich history and for a few extra euros we had a tour of the upstairs which was fascinating. Be aware, the Audio guide is via your phone so you need data & battery life. Its at no extra cost!
