Well I'm from Puerto Rico and one of the most beautiful houses I've seen here, at least for me, is in Ponce... Castillo Serralles (Serralles's Castle). It's actually a house and it was constructed in the 1930's using the Spaniard colonial style. It has a wonderful garden and very big... These days the house is a museum and shows the history of the house and the family who lived there the Serralles Family, they were the founders of the Serralles's Distillery one of the finest here in Puerto Rico after the Bacardi.
Here are some photos of the time I went there... I don't have from the inside cuz they don't let you... but found some in the internet for you to see... the ones with the yellow letters in the pics are mine

This was my favorite room,this is the dinning room, it was used only for especial ocasions.
The ceiling was carved in wood by hand... the estimated price of that room only is over the 5 millions dollars (a fact I learned in the tour)
