Casa Edilia Pino Santiesteban
Address: Calle 1ra. N7 entre 16 y 18, Rpto. El Llano, Holguin, Cuba, CP 80100
City: Holguin
Tel: +53 24 462290

My review: Hello,
I arrived in Holguin searching a casa I had found on Lonely Planet, but on my arrival they had no availabilities. Instead, I stayed at Edilia's casa one block away. The location is perfect just at the base of the loma of the cross.
Her casa is a simple home with a beautiful quaint fruit garden in the back. Only one room for rent, but fully equipped with your own private living room, a queen bed and a private bathroom. Very clean and Edilia is a very friendly and honest host. She will go out of her way to help you find what you are looking for with your best interest in mind and not in hopes of gaining a commission.
I would highly recommend this casa. You can add hers to your website if you wish.
Thank you and hasta luego,
Veronique Riverin

My review:
What makes this Casa especial is its owner: Waikidia. She treated us like family. Would make us coffee every morning, went out of her way to find a particular fruit that I had told her I would like to eat, she offered to do our laundry, and refused payment for all of this extra things. She changed the sheets every day that we were there. The room is comfortable and clean. If I ever return to Holguin, would definitely stay here again.

Rente de Habitacion Centro Ciudada
Calle Morales Lemus No. 186 (alto)
e/ Cables y aricochea
Holguin CUBA
CP 80100
Tel: 011-53-24-473350 / (01) 52769871

My review: The couple of the house are very quiet and wonderful people. They do everything by the book, and they want to run their casa right, afterall this is their work. They are known as one of the best in Holguin and most popular. They are located about a 5 minute walk to the main square of Holguin city. I only stayed there for two nights, I am sorry I did not get a chance to take photos. The lady of the house has become a personal friend,as I was recommended by some trusted Cuban friends who know the family mother. Since the Casa only has one room for rent, it is perfect for a single person, a couple, or a mother or daughter , or mother or son. You will feel very comfortable with this family. If you are Cuban you will like it because it is direct downtown, access to everything. They are n! ot nosing people, so you have privacy. The Casa is located on the top floor of a building , so you have to take some high stairs to get to the front door. The house has a comfortable feeling and when I was recommended there, I felt very safe , comfortable and homey when I met them and entered the house. Unlike four other Casas I had toured and one I had stayed at for a one night. I enjoyed the house overall all, it is actually a cute house inside and the kitchen is a open and airy and you can view outside.

Casa specifics: Quiet, Fantastic hosts, Comfortable, Cozy, Hidden gem, Romantic, Charming, No frills, Safe, Children in the house
Amenities: TV, Airconditioning, Private bathroom, Minibar, Balcony, Breakfast service, Dinner service, Queensize bed, Bathroom with tub, Bathroom with shower
How was your room?: My room was cozy , private comfortable, quiet. Very clean and well kept. With a fridge , alarm clock, TV. Other side of the room was a separate door that lead out to a small balcony, Just enough room for one or two people to relax, read a book, right in a journal, under the Cuban sun or Cuban night sky, or just take a breath of fresh air in the morning while you are ready to head out for a day.
How was the food they offer?: The food the lady of the house served was wonderful. I mainly ate breakfast there. The breakfast was delicious. Eggs, bread, fruit, coffee, juice and more. She was very prompt with breakfast.
Other services they offer: When I had to leave the day for the airport they offered to call a taxi for me, being I do not speak Spanish very well. They usually call a specific Taxi, but the time I was having to leave they could not get there in time so, they knew a Taxi driver who was cheaper and available to come and take me to the airport. It was adorable and prompt.
Other comments: They have two young children, very sweet, quiet and disciplined children. I did not even know they were there have the time. Never a problem for noise , if this concerns you.

Casa Los Hermanos

Address:
Cespedes #13
(entre L. Caballero y J. Peralta)
Gibara Cuba
Tel: 0-11-53-24-844542

My review: Los Hermanos is located mere steps from the ocean on a quiet street close to the centre of the picturesque fishing town of Gibara. It is a family-run Casa that features spotless rooms,warm showers, and a marvelous big courtyard where you can see the comings and goings of everyday life in Cuba. The house is almost as it was in the late 1800's furnished with beautiful antiques. The Patron is both a fisherman and farmer, so what you eat for supper was usually caught or picked that morning or the night before. Many taxi drivers bring people here to eat, because it is traditional Cuban fare at reasonable prices..anywhere from 6-15 CUC, depending on your meal.Staff is exceptionally accomodating and some evenings traditional Cuban musicians will stage an impromptu concert in the private cou! rtyard. Gibara boasts a beautiful church, museum, colonial houses, art gallery, cultural centre, spectacular view from the top of the hill, five outdoor bars, friendly people, and a laid-back lifestyle not seen in bigger centres. There are three small beaches in town and a mostly deserted bigger beach about half an hour away at Caletones. Snorkelling can be done on calm days by walking down the short alley from Los Hermanos to the ocean. Gibara is one of two forted towns in all of Cuba and the cultural capital of the island.

Casa Villa Celia
Address: Pepe Torres #75 (Bajos)
E/ Calle Arias y Agremonte
Holguin, Cuba
Tel: +53 42 4581

I have promised to e-mail them to the owner and can send them to you also Tell us about the casa!: My husband and I stayed at Casa Ceila for 2 nights in July 2009 and it was great. Ceilia rents one large double room with spacious private bathroom. The room has air con, fan, tv, cd player and fridge and along with the bathroom is spotlessly clean. There is a bright lounge area with rocking chairs and an outdoor eating area. Secure parking is available across the road.

The casa is located very centrally, just a few minutes walk from the main square, sites, restuarants etc. One of the lovely things about the casa is being able to sit on the doorstep cuban style and watch the world go by.

Celia provides meals on request and both her breakfasts and dinners are lovely. Food hygiene is a priority for her and she only uses bottled water in the cooking which she does for her guests. She speaks some English (much better than she belives herself) and does all she can to try to speak in English.

When we arrived I had been unwell (the dreaded cuban tummy)and she was fantastic, gving advice, preparing me special teas and really looking after me. She really made us feel at home.

I would recommend this casa to anyone staying in Holguin. We took some photos whch we have promised to send to Celia so hopefully they will be on Cuba Junky soon too.

Casa Mimmie
Peralejo no 26-a 
Entre Narciso Lopez y Cervantes
Holguin Cuba
Tel: +53 24 464261

Very friendly owners, every day clean towels and every other day clean sheets

Casa Villa Celia
Pepe Torres No. 75 (Bajos)
between Arias and Agremonte st
Holguin, Cuba
Tel: 42 4581 

The casa is located in Downtown Holguin just 3 blocks north of 1 block west of the Main Central Park. It is only a 5 min. walk to the central town area where everything is located( cafes, bars, stores, parks, etc). 

The Lady of the House is a retired Doctor by the name of Dra.Celia Serret Chang and her husband works for the State telecommunications company (ETECSA).
This activity is new for this couple as they only started in December 2005. Her English is a little difficult but she understands quite a bit and makes a great effort to express herself in English. Her and her husband are great and friendly people and they helped make my first experience in a Casa Particular a very positive one.
The accommodations are quite nice and comfortable. They rent one room with a double bed, air-conditioning, fan and fridge is available. The bathroom is private and has good hot water pressure (this compared to other Casas I stayed at during this trip). An important note; although this Casa is close to the center town it is located on a relatively quiet street (again compared to others I stayed at during this trip) also the room does not face directly onto the street but over to the back and side of the building (details that become relevant after a few different experiences).

I hope this information makes it to your web site as these fine people should get proper exposure for their great Casa Particular.


Best regards,
