Catalina was an amazing host (fresh juice when we arrived, homemade breakfast on the roof with the nicest view) and was very helpful when it came to activities (bike rent, horse riding)

We had a lovely stay in Catalina's house! A car picked us up when we arrived in the evening and she had prepared a wonderful dinner for is. The room was comfortable and clean with a minibar which was nice. In the morning she served us breakfast on the roof which had amazing views! Also she and her son were very caring in helping us making plans for our stay and organizing several trips. Thank you both for the lovely experience!

Catalina y su hijo Terri fueron magnificos con nosotros. Desde el principio nos hicieron sentir muy comodos. La casa es muy "cozy". Nos ayudaron muchisimo en que nos areglaron todo para ir a caballo por los campos de tabaco, ir a las cuevas, etc. todas las cosas que commenté a Catalina en nuestras comunicaciones desde NYC. Los consideramos nuevos amigos que nos estrañan mucho. Los recomendamos si uno quiere tener una experiencia chevere y inolvidable.

Per Catalina….
Obiettivamente, Catalina garantisce una sistemazione di grande qualità ed è una sorgente preziosa di esperienza. Risolve i problemi del viaggiatore, capendo in anticipo necessità e desideri.Io e mio figlio Carmine l'abbiamo definita “maxima organizadora”,cuoca eccellente, persona ammirevole (senza esagerazione).

Catalina was a very nice host and also very helpful with our lost luggage. As the house is situated on the hill, we had a wonderful view across the landscape from the rooftop.
Thanks for this really nice time, Catalina.January 2017
I had a great stay with Catalina and her son Terry. Catalina is a great cook - som eo fht ebest food I had in casa's in Cuba) and made some lovely food for me, and the view from the roof is fabulous. Catalina is a little shy at first and neither of them speak English, but her niece who lives a couple of doors away was very helpful in translating. Comfy bed, and nice and peaceful away from the centre of the town.

A simple house in a simple place. Very good if you like to forget everything in a quiet place.
The room is confortable, the landscape from the rooftop is amazing. If you don't have very special needs, you will find everything essential, at a good price. Catalina is shy but a very good person. Thank you Catalina!July 2016
Catalina and Terry were very welcoming and made us feel a part of the family. Accommodation was clean and comfortable with amazing breakfast and dinner provided. View from the roof top is not to be missed. We wish them all the best with their Casa!

Guarantee yourself a good time in Viñales and stay with Catalina– her house is a short five minute walk to the centre of town. Enjoy a generous and delicious breakfast served on her roof top terrace, with sweeping views of the mountains and countryside that surround the town. Caty and her son Terry will provide you with all the information you will ever need about daytime activities as well as the local night life.

Catalina actually lives on the hill as you come into Vinales about 10 minutes walk from the centre of the town. A fantastic location especially from the roof where you eat good Cuban food under a parasol. Room is very basic but clean. A few things need fixing eg bathroom light, bedside light but Catalina is working on these. Friendly and helpful with a very pleasant English speaking neighbour who comes regularly to make sure all is ok. Felt very at ease here and no need to pay someone to watch the car at night!
