Family friendly & cozy house located just 5 min walking distance from the centre of Viñales. The elegant room has an independent entrance, 2 double beds, A/C, an ensuite bathroom with 24/7 hot and cold water. The room is cleaned and rubbishes are emptied every day for your comfort.
The house:
Apart from the room, you can access many areas in the house:
- An interior terrace, just outside of the room, with table and chairs, where you’ll have served your breakfast and/or meals, where you can read, relax and also play domino with us. If you fancy it, we can teach you the cuban way. We always have great fun with hosts playing at dominos. This activity is monitored by the master himself, Eusebio my dad.
- The porch where you can relax after a good day exploring Viñales’s landscape. You can use the rocking chairs and watch the nice garden with orchids, orange tree and medicinal herbs.
- Last but not least, the terrace on the rooftop. You can admire the famous mogotes of Viñales and also see the hotel La Ermita up on the hill. You can of course relax on rocking chairs. Great place to see the stars at nigh too !
The food — the cocktails:
We also serve lunch, dinner and picnic pack. Eusebia, our cook (and my mum too !), prepare tasty and typical cuban food. We provide a wide range of products and we’re used to adapt it to our hosts’s special diet (vegetarian, gluten free etc…). Just let us know in advance to organise ourselves.
We also serve homemade cuban cocktails. Don’t hesitate to try a mojito, a cuba libra or the Ida’s special !
I, Idaisys (on the left on the picture), help my parents (on the right on the picture Eusebio & Eusebia) with the booking of Casa Eusebia y Eusebio. My parents will be always at home if you need anything. They only speak Spanish, but are always more than happy to communicate and take care of anybody regardless of their language. (And they are very good at it !). We are also here to inform you, give you tips about Viñales, the activities you can do in the area and where are the best places to eat or have some great cuban cocktails.

Viñales has been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. It offers a wide range of activities. We can suggest you local suppliers to do some of those activities:

Gracias por acogernos, Eusebio y Eusebia! Nos encantó compartir tiempo con una familia que nos llenó de su esencia y fuerza cubana. Os convertisteis en una familia y no podemos estar más agradecida las tres de haberos conocido. De volver a Viñales, nos quedamos con vosotros sin falta!!

What a pleasure it was to stay in the home of Eusebio and Eusebia for our 3 nights in Viñales. A lovely home, nice big room, air conditioning, perfect en-suite, all very clean, and with a lovely terrace out front to sit and chat to the family on. This was the perfect location for everything we wanted to do in the Viñales area, and Eusebio was fantastic, organising all guides, taxis and trips we wanted. We were well set up each day with the best of breakfasts, served up with a smile no matter how early! The warmest, friendliest, most welcoming family, with hugs all round and the feeling you are at home from the minute you arrive. Highly, highly recommend.

Sin duda, la mejor casa donde nos alojamos durante las vacaciones en Cuba!!
Nos sentimos como en casa desde el minuto uno, toda la familia es realmente encantadora. Son muy divertidos y familiares.
La habitación es muy espaciosa y cómoda. Tiene una salida independiente al exterior en caso de que prefieras más autonomía.
Además, ¡Eusebia cocina de maravilla! Definitivamente tenéis que probarlo si os alojáis aquí

Eusebia y Eusebio son encantadores, su casa es cómoda y te da privacidad ya que la habitación está al fondo y tiene una salida autónoma. Pasamos unos días geniales en Viñales con ellos y si volvemos sin duda alguna repetiremos.

Eusebia y Eusebio son estupendos. Nos abrieron las puertas de su casa como si fueramos familia. El desayuno genial, con fruta fresca, huevos, pan, café recién hecho, zumos… un lujo para disfrutar en el patio. Tiene todo lo necesario y se encuentra en pleno centro de Viñales. Además te ayudarán en todo lo que necesites para organizar excursiones. Inmejorable

Gracias Luca, nos gusto mucho la evaluación que hiciste de nuestra casa. Es nuestra maxima : ayudar y servir en todo lo que podamos a las personas que deciden visitarnos.
¡Si vuelves por Viñales, aquí tienes tu casa!October 2019
We had a lovely stay in Vinales with Eusebia & Eusebio! They make you feel like you home from the very first moment. Although they only speak Spanish, you can really good communicate with them. The large breakfast and dinner was great and made with love by Eusebia who also did the laundry for us after our clothes were full of mud after the horse riding trip in the valley of Vinales organised by Eusebio! Also, when you like Domino this place is the perfect one! The room was very clean with a nice bathroom. A highly recommended place when staying in Vinales!

Nice location, close to the mainstreet.
The family was very friendly, sweet and helpful. However the problem was that we absolutely don't speak spanish and they absolutely didn't speak English. Communication was hard, so we used a translation app for the basic communication. We actually liked that experience.
Breakfast was nice and it was a lot.
Hard matress and very loud airconditioning (which didn't cool properly).
The daughter who does speak English, gave us great Pre-information by e-mail. We didn't meet her during our stay.Host reply
We are really sorry that you only left 3 stars out of 5 with is not really representative of how pleased people leave our house as everyone can see with all our reviews. It’s a shame you didn’t read our Homestay profile or our booking confirmation email, it’s clearly written that my parents don’t speak English. We insist on that matter to make sure people who don’t feel comfortable with that situation, get the chance to cancel their booking in advance. We never had any issue about that so far.
About the A/C and mattress, Eusebia & Eusebio always do their best for your comfort, and we sincerely think our room is really great value for money. We hope you’ll enjoy the rest of our stay in Cuba.August 2019
If you go to Vinales, please stay at Eusebio and Eusebia! The family is so warm and loving!
We had great food here (breakfast and dinner, definitely recommended), a fun Domino's night, and a great tour through the valley on horseback, arranged by Eusebio.
Just go here!
