You don't need to be a massive Saramago enthusiast to enjoy this museum! - Lovely way to spend a few hours - easy to get to on bus 34 from Pto del Carmen, the museum/house was really interesting to visit even though we didn't know loads about the writer. Guided tour with audio assistance was excellent. Beautiful garden. Had lunch in Tias town afterwards

A house to visit, taking in the details, the symbols, the simplicity and the harmony - It's exciting to imagine Saramago at his desk, among his books, photos... the beautiful panorama of the garden...

Memorable. A dream fulfilled. - The House deserves just a visit, for what it contains and represents for universal literature. The museum house staff is very friendly and familiar with the place.

Fantastic visit - It is a magical place that should be visited, especially by those who know and read Saramago. A pity that they do not allow the visit to be done in a more peaceful way in order to Be able to admire everything the house has to offer.
