Lonely Planet review

Named after the unruly hair of the poet's widow, Matilde Urrutia, Pablo Neruda's shiplike La Chascona house sits on a shady cul-de-sac at the foot of Cerro San Cristóbal. Neruda was an obsessive collector and the contents of his house include a beautiful bar from Marseille, Bauhaus furniture and the poet's extraordinary library of books.

The Fundación Neruda, which maintains Neruda's old houses, has its headquarters here and conducts engaging tours in English.
