Accommodation Details/Unterkunft Details

'Casa Italia' is a colonial House just a few minutes walk to the historic center. The rooms are spacious and from the terrace a fabulous glimpse of the ocean. The apartment of about 180 square meters consists of: dining area, three rooms (1-2-3) with private bathroom, CA tepee split / invertire and bridge / bar, a lounge and a large lounge. The number one room overlooks the public street and, therefore, noises can be heard.
We are in the heart of Havana, near the Malecon one of the most famous places on the Island.
The location is perfect for those who want to visit, on foot, the center of the city. They are easy to reach: Old Havana, Bodeguita del Medio, Capitolio, Hotel Inglaterra, Chinatown, Calle Obispo, Floridita, Plaza de Armas, Vedano, Plaza de la Catedral, Galiano Music House.
The apartment is also located a short distance from the Deauville hotel, the starting point for buses direct in the tourist areas.
My name is Gladis I've lived for 32 years in Italy where I was in fashion. The nostalgia for the flavors of my land has convinced me to bring you back and start my own business where, however, I will integrate Italian style. I speak Spanish and Italian correctly, and I understand a bit of Englishit and German and it will be my care to let you know Havana City with its unique and decadent charm. I started my business in March 2017 and in a few months I have collected many bookings with great reviews that I invite you to read. In my work I am helped by Juanita who could replace me in case of absence managing the house in the best way .
Upon request arrange transportation from the airport.
I can also arrange a visit to Havana with a tour guide.
Payment upon arrival in cash Euros, and CUP (cuban peso).
Breakfast not included in the price
For security reasons and respect for other guests at home, only those who have booked can enter the House.
If the location is not to the liking of the guest please notify the landlady immediately and guests should feel free to choose another destination. My goal, in fact, is to make the stay pleasant for both parties.

'Casa Italia' is a colonial house just a few minutes walk from the historic centre. The recently refurbished interiors maintain the spirit of the past; the rooms are high and spacious and from the terrace you can enjoy a fabulous glimpse of the ocean. The apartment of about 180 square meters consists of a dining area, three bedrooms (1-2-3) each with private bathroom and split/inverter air conditioning and fridge/bar, a living room and a large hall. Street noise can be heard from room number one.
The house is located in the heart of Havana, next to the Malecon one of the best known places on the island.

The apartment is also located a short distance from the Hotel Deauville, the departure point for buses to tourist areas.
I'm Gladis, I'm 32 years old, I grew up in Italy, in South Tyrol, where I worked for a long time in the fashion field. However, nostalgia for my homeland made me return and now, taking advantage of the new opportunities for private initiative, I offer an accommodation service where I try to convey the Cuban spirit combined with Italian taste and German precision. I speak fluent Spanish and Italian, I also communicate in English and German and it will be my care to introduce you to Havana, a city with a unique charm and a very special decadent atmosphere. They say about me that I am also a good cook and can therefore, upon request, let you taste both Cuban and Italian cuisine. I started my business in March 2017 and in a few months I have collected numerous bookings with excellent reviews that I invite you to read. In my work I am helped by Juanita who could replace me in case of absence by managing the house in the best possible way.
Upon request, I can also organize transport to and from the airport.
I can also organize a visit to Havana with a tour guide.
The payment of the stay must be made in cash upon arrival in Euros or CUP (cuba peso).
The price does not include breakfast.
For safety reasons and out of respect for other guests, only people who have booked and who have been registered upon arrival are allowed into the house. If the location is not to the guest's liking, please notify the landlady immediately and guests must feel free to choose another destination. My goal, in fact, is to make the stay pleasant for both parties.
****************
Es befindet sich im Herzen von Havanna, in der Nähe des Malecon, einen der bekanntesten Orte auf Kuba. In wenigen Minuten erreicht man zu Fuß auch das Zentrum von Havana mit seinen berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten: Alt-Havanna, Bodeguita del Medio, das Capitolio, Hotel Inglaterra, Chinatown, Calle Obispo, Floridita, Plaza de Armas, Vedado, die Plaza Catedral, Casa della Music Galiano usw..
Bei der kürzlich durchgeführten Renovierung der Räume wurde darauf geachtet die Atmosphäre der Vergangenheit beizubehalten. Die Zimmer sind hoch und geräumig und von einem Balkon genießt man einen schönen Blick auf den Malecon und den Ozean. Meine Wohnung ist etwa 180 qm groß und besteht aus einem Essbereich, three Schlafzimmern (1-2-3), jedes mit eigenem Bad und Klimaanlage Split-Typ / Inverter und Kühlschrank / Bar, einem Eingangsbereich und einem geräumigen Wohnbereich. Sie liegt in idealer Lage, um zu Fuß das Zentrum der Stadt zu erreichen. Ebenfalls liegt die Wohnung in der Nähe des Hotels Deauville, wo man sich ins Internet einsteigen kann und von wo aus Busse zu den anderen touristischen Zielen fahren.
Ich bin Gladis, bin 32 Jahre alt und bin in Italien, Südtirol groß geworden, wo ich im Bereich der Mode gearbeitet habe. Die Sehnsucht nach meinem Land hat mich jedoch dazu bewogen, die neuen Möglichkeiten der Privatinitiative in Kuba zu nutzen und hier nun Ferienzimmer anzubieten, in denen ich den kubanischen Geist mit italienischen Geschmack und deutscher Gründlichkeit vereine. Ich spreche fließend spanisch und italienisch und kommuniziere auch in Englisch und Deutsch. Es ist mein Anliegen meinen Gästen, die Widersprüchlichkeit und Perplexität dieser einzigartigen Stadt, Havanna, mit ihrem besonderen Charme der verfallenen Prunkbauten näher zu bringen. Man sagt, dass ich mich auch in der Küche sehen lassen kann, weshalb ich auf Nachfrage sowohl kubanische, als auch italienische Küche gerne anbiete. Ich habe mein Geschäft im März 2017 angefangen und in pin paar Monaten habe ich viele Buchungen mit großartigen Bewertungen gesammelt, dass ich dich zum Lesen einlade. In meiner Arbeit werde ich von Juanita geholfen, der mich im Falle der Abwesenheit, das Haus in der besten Weise verwaltet, ersetzen könnte.
Auf Nachfrage organisiere ich gerne den Transport von und zum Flughafen.
Ich kann auch mit einem Reiseleiter nach Havanna reisen.
Bezahlung hat bei Ankunft in Euro, oder CUP ( Cuban peso)
Frühstück ist nicht im Preis inbegriffen.
Aus Sicherheitsgründen und aus Rücksicht auf die anderen Gäste haben in meiner Wohnung nur jene Personen Zugang, die gebucht haben und bei der Ankunft registriert werden.
Sollte der Standort dem Gast nicht gefallen, benachrichtigen Sie bitte sofort die Vermieterin und die Gäste können sich ein anderes Ziel aussuchen. Mein Ziel ist es, den Aufenthalt für beide Seiten angenehm zu gestalten.

    Gladis ist eine ausgezeichnete Gastgeberin: sehr freundlich, warmherzig, fröhlich und hilfsbereit. Sie gab uns alle Tipps an die Hand, die wir für einen schönen Aufenthalt benötigten. Die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll und sauber eingerichtet; es fehlte uns an nichts! Das Frühstück ist sehr gut mit viel Obst, Blätterteiggebäck, Kaffee, Säften etc. Die Unterkunft liegt unmittelbar am Malecón; sehr schön! Unbedingt empfehlenswert! Nochmals DANK an Gladis!
