• For your Recreation
Santa Fe Beach
Santa Fe is a unique area of Havana with natural beaches with coconut palm trees and very white sand. On this beach there are fewer tourists. Throughout the year except in the months of June, July and August you will be on the beach almost alone. Local people enjoy the beach only if the water temperature is between 29 - 30 degrees, for the rest of the year the water temperature is between 25 - 28 degrees. As a condition it is necessary to use rubber bath slippers. In the sand there are still remains of stones. The depth of the sea on this beach is about 1.8 meters. To reach the deepest area it is necessary to swim further back. Near the beach there is a bar and a small shop.
The island
Looking from the house approximately at a distance of 250 meters, you can see a peninsula, which is uninhabited and in it there is an American casino already in ruins. Around this peninsula the sea is very clean and deep without sand, stones or mud.

Wir waren nur kurz in dieser schönen Unterkunft am Rand von Havanna für die erste Nacht nach dem Hinflug. Rita ist eine sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, die Betten sind groß und bequem, alles ist sehr sauber.

I recommend this lovely host! We had nice stay with Rita. She was very helpful and caring. The room was spacious, quiet and with an amazing sea view. We really felt like being at home. The Le Laurel restaurant Rita recommended to us was worth visiting, sea view and good menu.

Nous pensions avoir loué dans La Havane même, cette location en périphérie était parfaite, calme, super propre, notre deuxième chez nous. L’accueil était à la hauteur de l'hospitalité cubaine, très disponible et de bons conseils. Nous avons aimé notre séjour, un grand merci!

After a long flight and a 2 hour wait for our rental car, we finally arived at Rita. We did feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They are very friendly and make you feel home immediately. You want a quite stay and easy access to Havanna, this is a perfect home.

Rita Thatiana und ihr Mann sind sehr nette und hilfsbereite Menschen und die Unterkunft sehr schön. Ein buntes, sehr liebevoll gestaltetes Zimmer, alles sehr sauber, auch das Bad prima.
Das Bett war sehr bequem und die Terrasse vor dem Zimmer war herrlich, mit Blick auf das Wasser, da sie sehr wassernah wohnen. Da Rita's Mann Taxifahrer ist, hat er uns überall hingefahren, was sehr praktisch war. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen!April 2018
Even though I was quite ill during my time at Rita's, they were very gracious and helpful. They drove me to the Tourist Hospital for treatment and medicine. I can't thank them enough. Their home is beautiful and clean, a great place to relax, with an amazing restaurant close by - El Laurel. I highly recommend Rita's place for a peaceful stay.

Para nuestra primera noche en Cuba, encontramos un refugio muy bueno en la casa de Rita. Hemos sido acogidos muy bien y procuró que nuestra estancia corta se celebraba para mejor. La habitacion fue muy confortable y bien acondicionada. La casa es retirada del camino principal, pues es muy tranquilo y muy descansado.
