“Highly recommended”

Reviewed 14 May 2012

We were made so welcome by Francisco and Any and all their family. The breakfasts and suppers were excellent, lots of fresh fruit, fresh eggs, very generous portions and even fruit smoothies made from home-grown produce. The location of their house is perfect, just a short walk from the main street in Vinales. Francisco organised our visit to St Tomas... More

“Lovely family.”

Reviewed 16 April 2012

We stayed at Villa Cristal on the 4th April, the family couldn't have been nicer or more helpful with our travel plans. Francisco sorted it all out for us! The accommodation is great, and as the previous review they have indeed thought of everything. Vinales is a must see, we had a great time there. More

I loved this place. Francisco and Any could not have been more welcoming and helped us with any arrangments we wanted to make. The accommodation is great and they seem to have thought of everything: decent air conditioning, good shower, safe, fridge, plunge pool (a god-send for overheated Brits), alarm clock, kettle, ear plugs and a beautiful roof terrace.

We were based in Havana for most of our trip, in a very large and comfortable hotel, so had chosen this Casa for our short trip to Vinales based on other reviews. We particularly wanted somewhere to cool off if the weather was very hot, and someone who could advise us on what we should see. Villa Crystal, and the... More

Is a shame you only stayed one night in our home and maybe you didn't have time to enjoy all the nice places Viñales region has to offer. But at least that night in our room according to your description was worth it because the most important thing in overnights is the beds, so you can recover forces for next... More
