Michelin Guide 3 Stars
"More commonly known as "La Pedrera", this building, with its façade evoking the movement of the sea and its fantasy decor, is one of Gaudí's finest achievements." Full review
Fodor's "With its wavy, curving stone facade undulating around the corner of the block, is one of Gaudí's most celebrated yet initially reviled designs." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Just as bizarre—but not as gaudy—as much of his other work, this is a good counter-argument to critics who believe that Gaudí exemplified bad taste." Full review
Afar Magazine "The rooftop is now a destination for lovers of Barcelona and Antoni Guadi's "Modernisma" style." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Nicknamed "La Pedrera" (stone quarry), Casa Milà in Eixample was completed by Gaudí in 1912, and is known as his final civic work"
