Unless you are a die hard Gaudi follower I would not spend more than 5 minutes here and I would not pay the expensive entree fee. This house is on private property which makes it more expensive to go in. The only real thing of interest I found was the dragon on the iron gate and you DO NOT Need to go in to see that you can see it from the street.
If you do go inside you will find a small house with an adjoining barn. The grounds and garden are not well kept.
I note that many people who have gone there say there is not much to see except the dragon gate. It is an early Gaudi work for the Guell estate (mainly a stable), therefore I do not except something spectacular. But as I am interested in checking out Gaudi's early works (Torre Bellesguard, Colonia Guell, Palau Guell, etc) this time, I decided to go. If you don't want to pay the entrance fee, you can still view the dragon gate and other features of the structure from the outside.
The staff at the ticket office was very enthusiastic in explaining the history and use of the place, some details of the design, and also showed me photos of some other Gaudi's works (including those not in Barcelona). I asked him a number of questions which he glady answered.
I understand that the place is under the University of Barcelona and is open for public viewing as part of the modernista heritage of Barcelona. For the price of a cup of coffee (I paid €2.5 to enter), if I could contribute in a very small way to help maintain this piece of heritage, I would gladly do that.
This place is far off the beaten path, we ended up here to buy the Ruta del Modernismo guidebook. The English version has beautiful photos, maps, and descriptions of modernist buildings in Barcelona and other places in Catalonia. You get a book of discount coupons for visiting various places, you can make up the price of the book with a few visits. As others have noted this particular Gaudi work is modest, with the highlights visible from outside the gate. The admission charge is 4 euros, but if you buy the guidebook is only 2 euros. The inside is OK but not as compelling as the exterior decoration, which you can enjoy without paying.
The acces door is magnificent, but if you're not an architecture student, you have to save the entry fee. There are a lot better thing to see from Gaudí
This parc is out of this world. Just thinking the hours of work invested on it, Gaudi's creativity and imagination makes my mind explode. So worth visiting and spending your time observing the view. It has an awesome overview of Barcelona.
