In Cuba, a ‘casa particular’ is what is otherwise known as a bed & breakfast or a guesthouse. Staying in a casa particular will let you experience the Cuban culture and way of life. You can also enjoy typical food and drinks. You can get to know the family, but only if you want to, because you’ll get your own key to the house and your room is fully independent. You can get to know more about the Cuban way of thinking and listen to interesting stories. I have an aunt, an uncle, a cousin and two neighbours who rent their houses in Viñales, but only since recently; their houses are very private, new, they are great and I want to help them in this way.

The casa is very comfortable, both rooms have two double beds and private bathroom and breakfast can be provided every morning. Wifi can be switched on by request.

Dania y Salvador have two children, one boy and one girl, who are studying at the moment. They rent out four rooms which cost 25 cuc per night and breakfast costs 5 cuc per person. The casa is located at only seven walking minutes to the main town plaza. The casa is very clean, neat and you get your own rocking chairs on the porch that are so typical for Viñales. Wifi can be switched on by request.
