A villa in the heart of the valley

Marisol and her family are wonderfully kind and caring people they make you feel so at home. Marisol gave us great tips on where to visit. As soon as we arrived she served us fresh mango juice and explained what we can see in the area. She arranged an amazing trek up to see the Los Aquaticos with Yuri. He is a fantastic guide and I recommend taking him! The room in the casa is very basic. However for the price it is very reasonable. The room was also very clean too. Marisol made us a lovely meal on the first night we arrived. We loved her homemade chicken soup. Her breakfasts
are wonderful and there's always an abundance of fresh papaya and pineapple. We definitely recommend Marisol's casa as she is the soul of her home.

I recomend the casa of Marisol for everyone who prefers to stay out of the tourists' mass and enjoy the beautiful terrace with magnificant views of mountains. The location of the home was perfect for us (and only about 15 minutes walking to the city centre). Marisol took care of us and always was very helpful and nice.
The only thing I recomend while enjoying the meal of Marisol is to agree on the price for it before.. We didn't do it and then were very surprised that the (delicious) dinners and breakfast by Marisol was much more expensive than in the restaurants of the city centre..

Bonjour,
Nous avons été accueillis chez Marisol de façon extrêmement chaleureuse. Notre chambre confortable avec salle de bains indépendante,la superbe terrasse, l'excellente cuisine de Marisol au petit déjeuner comme au diner et la gentillesse de toute la famille, tout ceci a contribué à rendre notre séjour à Vinales des plus agréables. Un grand merci à tous.
Si nous devons revenir à Vinales, ce sera certainement dans cette famille si sympathique.

This is an amazing casa, lovely family and great neighbourhood! It is a 15 minute walk away from the centre of vinales and perfecrly right, if you are looking for a nice and stressless place to stay. Marisol was waiting for us at the bus station, when we arrived with the viazul bus. She cared for us like a mommy. We loved this place so much, so we stayed for 7 nights. Marisol answered all our questions, organized trips and taxis for us and prepared delicious breakfast, dinner and coco loco. We will come back to this lovely place one day!!!

The best Cuban Experience for us!!! Marisol is just a sweetheart - and an awesome cook!
If you rather experience a piece of Cuba instead of the touristy downtown - Marisol is the best choice for you! Sure, you have to walk about 10 minutes to come to downtown Vinales - but... you don´t really have to... there are just tourist restaurants anyways.

Marisols house, is right at the end of the city (practically the last house before the countryside starts). Here you can get a CocoLoco with coconuts just picked for you from their own tree, you can take a walk (with Juri! highly recommended) through the valley and you will meet no one but locals and farmers), you will get a full Cuban meal just prepared for you (you have to try her home made potato and banana chips!!!) and you can have talks with her and here family (who are living right next door) about everything and anything! If you don´t know too much Spanish, take a dictionary along... I am sure you can work it out... Marisol is a Spanish teacher... so familiar with using dictionaries for sure!

I wish all of you who decide to stay with her a wonderful time!! No doubt you will have a great time, if you are not the very touristy kind of travelers.

Saludos desde Austria,
Judith and Hans-Jürgen

P.S.: remember to take earplugs along for the roosters... they can be loud in the morning - but even in Havanna you can hear them sometimes.
