So much more than just a stay in a beautiful Colonial apartment in the heart of Havana.
We are here to also offer our guests the chance to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and rich culture of this bustling, elegantly beautiful, somewhat crazy and absolutely unique and Shabby Chic city.
About the Casa :
Located on the 2nd floor, this light, airy and elegant apartment, with fabulous high ceilings throughout, comprises a beautiful Colonial lounge and dining area leading to a large balcony;
a well equipped kitchenette for guest use and 3 charming and well appointed bedrooms, all with lovely modern en-suite bathrooms. In true Cuban style, the house is connected by a balcony style exterior passageway.
The accommodation has been restored and refurbished to a fabulous standard with great attention to detail and a quality of interior rarely found in Cuba. Its elegant décor is further enhanced by the soft and atmospheric lighting from our many lovingly renovated antique bronze and crystal chandeliers / wall lights; combined with our imaginatively and quirkily repurposed and reutilised original features and furnishings.
Yes you will still know it’s Cuba! Our feature ‘Shabby Chic’ original doors and windows are a testament to the difficulties of obtaining good quality paints and varnishes and whilst the embargo continues this is one product we can’t just pop in a suitcase! Trust us we’ve tried!
During your stay, you will have full use of the elegant lounge and dining area and a small but well equipped guests’ kitchenette (between the hours of 8am and 10pm). If you wish to dine in at all, we can also provide lunches, picnic lunches & evening meals to suit your itinerary.
As well as being home from home for our guests, the Casa is also very much our home and as such we like to maintain regular contact with all our guests after check-in, to ensure that they have the best of times. We are on hand to provide support, share our experiences and provide advice when needed. However, we also like to respect your privacy and understand that some people prefer to be more independent.
The Area :
Our lovingly and painstakingly renovated Colonial style apartment, is a true and rare gem in the heart of the original Italian district of vibrant Central Havana. Providing a tranquil oasis from the hustle and bustle that the area is so famous for.
