the perfect stay
A stay in a Casa Particular is a must for anyone who wants to experience Cuba not only comfortably but also authentically. The nice and special thing about staying overnight in a Casa Particular is that you live under the same roof with a Cuban family. This gives you unique insights into the Cuban culture and way of life. Despite the proximity to the families, the private accommodations always offer you a private room with your own bathroom. It is not uncommon for higher standards to be met here than in a hostel or a conventional guesthouse.
