Das Haus von Großvater Tomas al Vedado

What an absolutely wonderful stay we had! Our hosts, Nonno Tomas, Mario and Regla, made us feel so at home from the minute we arrived- just lovely, kind, welcoming....I can't say enough, I miss them already. They gave us tips on how to get around, what to expect, how to maneuver different situations- very, very helpful. Mario can arrange the trip from/to the airport for you with a trusted private taxi service.
The rooms are spacious, air conditioned, quiet and very comfortable- each has a minibar and safe and plenty of space for hanging/storing your clothes/stuff. The room in which we stayed had a balcony and nice big windows we could open to enjoy the cool evenings. We chose to have breakfast at the house every morning- always delicious and plentiful. The house itself is in a safe, central location-we walked to different parts of Havana every day; when we would get too far from our next objective, we would take a bicitaxi- highly recommend bicitaxis, these guys work so hard for so little so please, overtip! When we go back to Cuba, we will stay here again- every single time! Tight hugs to Tomas, Mario y Regla- we look forward to seeing you again- un abrazote! Laura y Michael

This gracious family went out of their way to make me feel at home. The room I stayed in had french doors that opened to a tiny balacony. Next to the bedroom is a high ceiling sitting room with a much larger balcony, where one can sit and hear the school children across the street singing the national anthem at 8 a.m. The leafy Vedado neighborhood is a study in contrasts--old elegant colonial mansions, next to colonial and art deco homes, many needing restoration---this is the Havana of today. Breakfast was lovely--fresh fruits, eggs, some Cuban creations, the names of which i do not know--but they were delicious and sliced tomatoes and onions.
A memorable stay, especially the delightful chats with Noelia, the daughter.

Thank you all for a lovely stay at your home. You were all very kind to me and especially on my birthday where you surprised me with a birthday cake, flowers and put happy birthday decorations around the breakfast room. Very thoughtful of you all. The family are all very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed the delicious breakfasts, sometimes with a little cake which I thoroughly enjoyed! The house is beautiful and a wonderful place to relax. It has a lovely terrace and lounge area for guests, spacious rooms and good facilities. There are a few restaurants nearby but an excellent one on Calle 15, excellent food! Thank you everyone at Casa Tomas! Besos
