 One of the best casas in Cuba, according to Claire Boobyer — Frommer's Cuba |
A well-restaured colonial-inspired casa, well-appointed with lovely settings and furniture organized by Leonor, a retired physics teacher); true bathrooms (with real old baths) with some glass ornamented windows and art deco doors. Its three bedrooms now have the new aircon "split" units, each with an ensuite private bath — and open on to a narrow patio blessed with natural vegetation, birds and cats - as Leonor is blessed with an irresistible smile ... and a talent for making sabroso cocktails. The casa's card says Friendship House and it shows. Experience ?, you bet : the casa has greeted more than 10,000 guests over the years ! Rates : 25cuc per bedroom per night; breakfasts 5cuc, dinners 8-12cuc; laundry service; new rooftop terrace with unimpeded views. |
