“An old-style B&B offering a taste of local colour and an ideal base to explore this beautiful colonial town. The feel is homely yet chic with a good balance of the old and the new. Discover humming local music joints or spend a day unwinding on one of the local beaches. An authentic stay.”

No other Caribbean island has such a heady mix of experiences as Cuba. The birthplace of salsa and home to a communist revolution, the country has a fascinating mix of cosmopolitan culture, colonial towns and plenty of wild nature.
