    This house is basically a time-capsule. It really places you in a completely different state of mind, in terms of decor, religious overtones and even what was considered luxury. Forget about taking your camera, there's no photographs allowed here.

    Unless you go there for an event, contact them with a reservation is a must, even if you just want to see the garden. The tour to the upstairs apartments is strictly no-photography only, you can only take photos in the courtyard and the garden. The highlight definitely is in the garden - lush, verdant and enchanting. One forgets outside the gate lies a very busy thoroughfare full of buzzing traffic. The guide was very knowledgeable and warm, perfect English.

    No photos were allowed in the museum. The gardens were very lush and the history of the house was quite interesting.

    Went there for a wedding. It was nice, but they won't admit children, who the heck does that??? Servers need A LOT of training.

    Awesome wedding venue! We photographed the marriage celebration of A&V here in April 2023, and it was amazing. Ok, first of all, the couple looked absolutely stunning, surrounded by their beautiful friends and family - that obviously makes a big part of the equation. On top of that, the garden setting and the glass balcony were picture-perfect both for the first look session and for the ceremony (and the heartfelt speeches from the couple's bffs and relatives added a deeply personal touch to the ceremony). The venue staff were not only friendly but also incredibly professional, and the wedding planner went out of her way to make sure everything and everyone was on time and at the right spot. Everyone went out of their way to assist my team in capturing the best images, ensuring that every moment was beautifully documented, thank you so much! Yesss, the architecture of Casa de la Bola is a mere dream for wedding photography. The blend of historical charm and contemporary elegance creates a unique backdrop for capturing love and celebration. The lush garden + that glass-walled patio = a photographer's paradise. A variety of stunning settings for photos - I only wish I had more time for sessions during the day lol. The colonial interiors are amazing, too, making a great backdrop for the reception. For me, Casa de la Bola is a top recommendation for a wedding venue in Mexico City, I'd definitely love to come here again for an event or simply a couple session or ceremony. With its remarkable architecture, and enchanting garden, and friendly and professional staff, it's an ideal location for any couple looking to have a beautiful wedding here in CDMX.

    We attended our nephew's wedding on 2/17/2024 and had a wonderful time. The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the grounds, gardens, and sculptures were all spectacular.

    Un museo que bien vale la pena visitar. Es un pulmĂłn vegetal en el medio de la ciudad, su jardĂ­n es hermoso, se pueden observar varias esculturas en su recorrido. Espero poder regresar, es que na visita que debo repetir!
