    A house with a very special history that is supported by photos, bullet holes and fragments of a grenade/bomb. Elio is happy to tell you more about it. Elio's wife is a treasure of a human being. She gave us the best breakfast during our trip through Cuba. Make sure you are hungry because she will make sure you don't have to eat again until the evening. Elio gave us real cigars, not made from banana leaves. ;o) So don't buy them on the street, just ask Elio about them if you are interested. We were able to park our rental car safely within a few minutes' walk on other people's private property for a small fee. We felt very welcome and at home here. Feel free to book. You won't be disappointed

    If I may make a request of anyone reading this review: Elio's wife uses a hearing aid. Batteries are difficult to obtain. If you book in advance and would like to bring something (useful) for your hostess, ask which batteries she needs. If only I had known this.

    Beautiful, classic casa, I felt like in a palace.
    The hosts welcomed me very warmly, like a member of the family.
    They recommended the most interesting places to visit and good local restaurants.
    I received a hearty breakfast and was taken to the station by a classic old motorcycle :)
    Highly recommended, my best accommodation in Cuba.

    Their house is such a beautiful place to be at. Love to just sit in their little garden and enjoy the peace. Their breakfast was one of the best I had in whole Cuba. They were also so friendly and love to explain everything about Santa Clara. They even give you a map. Also Elio works in the sigar factory and can explain a lot about it. Lovely people, I loved my stay with them!

    Genial estancia en la casa de Elio Manuel! Aunque fue breve, me hicieron sentir muy cómodo en una casa con una habitación muy amplia y muy limpia. La casa, además, está a pocos minutos del centro de Santa Clara.

    What a house! If you are looking for real life Cuba this is it. Despite Santa Clara being able to keep most tourists interested for a day at most, the house is so full of charm and history that we would have wanted to stay there for a week. Breakfast (on the patio) was amazing. Elio's wife incredibly sweet. We would recommend their place any time.

How do I book?

Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
