The Ernest Hemingway Museum is appropriately housed in Finca Vigia, the villa that the Nobel Prize-winning author bought in 1949. Preserved with care, the villa contains most of Hemingway's possessions and library, kept as they were when the Hemingways left.
Hemingway worked on some of his most famous books at Finca Vigia, including For Whom the Bell Tolls. In the garden is the author's pet cemetery and boat, Pilar, that inspired the classic tale of The Old Man and the Sea.
Please note: Visitors are no longer inside the house.
