Raul and his family are really lovely people. We enjoyed our stay very much, including the 2 delicious home cooked dinners! The room is big enough for a couple of nights, and clean. You stay in a real Cuban neighbourhood, authentic experience!

The stay at Raul’s casa in Vinales was great! The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. Raul and his family are really nice, and their food is very good! He helped us arrange a tour and we watched Cuban baseball together. Our stay at Raul was a perfect Cuban experience and i would recommend!

Stayed 3 nights with my friend at El Gringo house. He makes great breakfast, you get eggs, toast, butter, honey, mango or papaya juice, coffee, fresh fruit salad, olives and cheese, banana for 5 CUC per person. Location is nice and really close to the centre where you can easily have lunch or dinner in any of the restaurants and do a little shopping on the stands. Bathrom and beds were clean and confortable. Everybody in the house was so welcoming and smiling and also open for any questions. The only thing that bodered us a little was isolation between the walls because you could here other person in the next room. But everything else was perfect. Julia arranged us horse riding and visiting tobacco farm for 25 CUC per person which was excelent and definitely would recommend it. Raul thank you for everything, making us feel like at home and your perfect breakfast.

Dans un quartier calme, très bien situé, à 5 min à pied du centre ville. Nous sommes restés 4 nuits . Excellent séjour à la Casa El Gringo El Barbero. Très bon accueil, Raoul, sa maman et sa tante ont été aux petits soins pour nous. Excellente petit déjeuner et très bonne cuisine variée et copieuse pour le diner du soir. Tout était parfait.
Host reply
