Casa Amanda y Julia is a traditional Cuban house built in 1959. Our guesthouse consists of two rooms that have both been recently renovated. We are located right in the center of town, which means that our guests have everything nearby: the town square, banks, museums, bars, and night clubs.

If you come to us for quiet solitude, we completely get that. Our rooms have a separate private entrance, so your stay will be completely undisturbed. However, as we are Cubans, staying with us can be a social experience too. We have a common dining room and two terraces where you can enjoy a cold mojito in the sun, while getting to know the other guests and our family. We might not all be fluent in English, but always have a smile for you.

One of the questions we often hear from tourists is, "where do I find a good traditional Cuban meal"? If that's what you're after, look no further! Amanda is legendary for her cooking, and your meals here may well be some of the best you'll have during your stay in Cuba - at least that's what many of our guests keep saying. If you decide to dine with us, we will present you with a menu to choose from in the morning, and Amanda will prepare the dishes for your liking.

Viñales is recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, and with its beautiful beaches and breathtaking landscapes, along with the largest system of natural caves in South America, our region is one of the most picturesque in Cuba. Should you need help organizing your stay here, we can take care of that too. Want to attend a dance class, visit the bar with the best live music, need a taxi, or a guide for your day trip to one of the local sights, just let us know.

House highlights:
- The best homemade cooking: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and snacks during the day
- Recently renovated rooms
- Free parking
- Excursions by walk or on horseback
- Guided tours to The Valley of Silence and Palmarito Valley
- Bicycle rental
- Salsa classes
- Massages
- Laundry
- Cocktail bar with perfect Cuban Mojitos

We look forward to welcoming you as our guest in Casa Amanda y Julia. For any questions, you're always welcome to drop us to line.

    The accommodation was comfortable, clean and very quiet, with the possibility of sitting in the garden. The hostesses were very friendly, attentive and helpful, and prepared very sumptuous breakfasts. The location is ideal, close to the centre of Vinales. Thank you very much again!

    Amanda and her family were very warm and welcoming! The bedroom is quiet, comfortable and close to town and amenities! Amanda was kind to arrange my tours and transport, and her mother is an exceptional cook! I enjoyed my stay!

    Amanda and her mom were very nice hosts. They organized tours through the tobacco and coffee plantations, organized taxis, and made wonderful breakfasts and dinners. The rooms were all very clean, and the Casa is very near to the city center. Muchas gracias, Amanda!

    We had a very nice stay at Amanda's and Julia's home! The room was clean and cozy. They made us very good breakfast at whatever time we wanted! They even changed money for us and organized all tours and taxis. One day we had dinner there and Julia cooked the best camerones we had on our trip!

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.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). 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.
