Caring family from Viñales willing to share their independent rooms and their love for this beautiful region.
For over 7 years we have been enjoying looking after our guests, providing an unforgettable experience and service: homemade food cooked by Ary (wife), clean rooms, bar in the room with plenty of soft drinks as well as alcohol (rum from Viñales, wine), fantastic location in a very quiet street but 5 min walk from the lively main street (with plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops).
Our rooms have different capacities to be able to accomodate your needs: 3, 4 and 5 people and are divided between both ground and first floor. All rooms have their own bathroom with cold and hot water, air conditioning and tv to make your stay as pleasant as you wish. Rooms are also equipped with a fan and a fan (apart from the air with).
As we have been living our entire lived in Viñales, we can organise trips to the most attractive points of the region for you: horse riding, the viewpoint The Aquatics up in the mountain with great views, Cueva del Indio, Cayo Jutía. We will be glad to also sort your transport out by personal taxi (just for you) or collective taxi (with other tourists) to any point in the island. We can also arrange transport from and to the airport and Havana. Private houses are a massive network in Cuba and we will be able to find you accomodation anywhere in the island with other houses that are guaranteed to give you a 10 out of 10 service.

Yoel is a great host! He will take everything out of your hands and give you the best Vinales-experience. We enjoyed horse-riding, cigar and rum tasting and a wonderful lunch in the hills. Honestly made great friends with him too. Highly recommend staying with Yoel and his wife in their casa because the house is beautiful, clean and has a fantastis view from the balcony.

Last december we stayed at Yoel's casa for our stay in Viñales. The breakfast was very extensive (and also possible to arrange lunch packages), very hospitable family, they arranged tours for us and could give us some pointers to the several highlights. The bathroom deserves extra mentioning as it was very modern and had a great shower! Yoel also had a very good understanding of English, but could also manage very well with our basic Spanish.

We had the most wonderful stay at Yoels Casa. Supernice and very friendly people and they very helpful with anything we could come up with. Great value for your money. Very clean casa and we recommend to have at least breakfast there, it was huge and I eat a lot(and so does my esposa/wife). Five stars with ease. * * * * *

Yoel and his family are great hosts! They have a beautiful place in Viñales near the main road. The house is spacious, clean and comfortable with nice views from the terrace. They helped us a lot during our stay. They arranged a private tour through the national park for us and even helped us with the continuation of our trip. I can really recommend to stay at Yoel and his family’s place, the best place in Viñales!

One of our favorite casa's during our 5 week trip through Cuba. Yoel and his wife are very nice people. Although we are by far not fluent in Spanish, we were able to have some every interesting conversations about life in Cuba.
The casa is just a few months old and had great showers (real ones, not with electric shower heads like many other places). If you want they can help you with whatever you need.
We would definitely go here again if we would visit Viñales again!Host reply
