La Casa Purpura run by Sra. Ivette y Dr. Alejandro has been the perfect start of my experience in Cuba! I felt very welcomed from the very first minute! Chatter on the morning breakfast table is just great and a good opportunity to get in touch with other travelers. Dr. Alejandro gave us a tour through the Old Havana that... More

Dr Alejandro and Yvette are the best of hosts (Dr. Alejandro's father is great too). We traveled all over Cuba, but on our 4 days at the Purple House we learned more, and laughed even more, than anywhere else. The Purple House is close to the true heart of Havana, and Dr. Alejandro knows all the great sights and sounds... More

I've been there twice with some friends, always enjoyed our stay. Ivette and Alejandro treat us as part of their family. Clean house, big rooms, hot water. 2 minutes walking from "la Casa de la Musica" and few minutes walking from the "Havana vieja". For sure when we return to Cuba we will stay here again!!!
