Colorful, lively and full of zest for life: there is never a standstill in the old town of Havana. Cuban rhythms resound from bumpy alleys, the streets are always filled with people and both tourists and locals enjoy the hustle and bustle. The historic center of Havana has long been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The ambience is unique!
Casa Particular
A Casa Particular (“special house”) is a privately run house especially for tourists, very similar to a bed and breakfast.
Accommodation is in rooms with one or more beds, mostly with a private bathroom.
It is not uncommon for you to be housed in spacious colonial mansions with high ceilings and pillars, and to relax in green courtyards or enjoy breathtaking views of the surroundings from balconies.
The prices are quite cheap compared to a hotel, the service is very good and the hospitality is second to none. You will be welcomed very warmly with a big smile and can take advantage of the opportunity and dive into real Cuba. So a Casa Particular is always a meeting with the Cuban culture and the possibility of an authentic experience instead of a simple vacation.
