Casa Lucilo y Nirma

My review: We spent 3 nights at Lucilo and Nirma's house. They are a very hospitable and friendly family making you feel immediately welcome. We felt it was just the right mix of privacy and family integration. We especially enjoyed chatting with them (in Spanish) in the evenings in the typical Vinales rocking chairs. The room is clean, nice and quiet in the backyard. Nirma is a great cook (e.g. delicious chickpea soup!), and we suggested she should open a vegetarian paladar in Vinales. Her husband Lucilo's mojitos are among the very best we've had in Cuba, and he makes sure that the fruits you get for breakfast are really ripe and tasty. They can also help you with trips and excursions - Nirma has in the past worked as a biology teacher, and she organised for us, being biologists as well, a ve! ry special walking excursion with her former university professor Enma who now works as a guide - the best guide you can imagine if you really want to learn something about the nature in this area.

My review: Lucilo y Nirma where very friendly and give us a nice welcome. Their son was at home to and he could speak very good English and give us good tips of what to do in Vinales. Unfortunately the wheather the next morning did not help to do more sightseeing.
That evening we had a very nice diner and spend time with a french couple that staid there as well.
The room was nice, clean, good bathroom and a good bed and airconditioner.

My review: Casa Lucilo y Nirma

My recommended days of stay : 4 to visit and relax in the area.

This is a wonderful place, named after Dad Lucilo and Mum Nirma. With them lives Grandma Nana and 2 adult children Yunior & Yuneysis. All of them are very friendly and helpful. They speak very well English, Italian and Portuguese (and Spanish of course). Mum and Dad were both teachers in Cuba and in Angola, which makes that they have a great knowledge. They travelled around the whole country and other parts of the world, which makes them an excellent source of information and recommendations. The family is very open and gay-friendly.

The house has 2 main guestrooms, which are nicely decorated and very convenient.
The cooking of Nirma needs recommendations. (Michelin would say: worth a special journey)

The place is nicely situated in Vinales. Initially it looks a bit a strange road, but then you discover a nice house, in a very quiet neighborhood, though only at 2 min walk from the busy main street, so perfectly situated.

The area around Vinales is excellent. There are many beautiful views, wonderful caves, fantastic beaches for sun, snorkeling or scuba diving, nice cigar-factories (we recommend to visit Robaina, which offers a nice interesting tour) ... Not far from the guesthouse is a hotel : Los Jazmines, where you can pay a fee to use the swimming pool if desired. The view at the pool is great, but don't eat there: we got food-poisoned from their lunch.

When traveling back to Havana, you can visit the orchid-gardens near Las Terrazas. We recommend staying more nights at Vinales, instead of staying at Las Terrazas, since the road to Havana is excellent and the Las Terrazas area can easily be visited coming from or returning to Havana.

Casa Lucilo y Nirma

My review: This was our third holiday in Cuba and we were so happy that we found Casa Lucilo y Nirma. We spent altogether 10 days at this casa and it soon became our second home. Lucilo picked us up from the bus station and Nirma welcomed us like a long lost friends. They definitely take you in as a family member but if you want to have your privacy, you'll get it. The whole family is unbelivably helpfull and warm, you won't get it anywere else.

The room is situated in the back of the of the carden, seperated from the main house. It's very clean and confortable, comes with two beds and a bathroom. You'll always have warm water and also an airconditioning.

Nirma's cooking is definitely the best in Vinales. She cooks with her heart. Fresh juices and fruits for breakfast and 3 course meal for dinner, you just couldn't ask for more. Don't forget to try Lucilo's mojito.

The whole family will help you with anything, organizing trips, horseback riding, spanish lessons, etc. Just ask. If you are interested, they will also tell you stories about Cuba, how things work there, how the real life in Cuba is. It's a nice way to spend an evening in the garden, sitting in a rocking chair and just chatting with them, enjoying peacefull life. On weekends their son Yunior is at home and he'll take you with him to casa de la musica and to disco if you're interested.

I became ill during our holiday and their help was indispensable. They called Lucilo's daughter who is a doctor and she came to see me. They also called the doctor next door who then took me to hospital (thank you once again Dennis). Lucilo was there with us all the time and Nirma took care of me afterwards. I'm really thankfull for all of them!

Other comments: We enjoyed our stay so much and were sad to leave. Hopefully we'll have a change to go back someday.

Casa Lucilo y Nirma

My review: What a fantastic place to stay and a great end to our time in Cuba. Aside from Vinales and its surrounding countryside being amazing, Casa Lucilo y Nirma was a friendly, warm, inviting and wonderful place to stay. Our hosts made us feel very welcome and part of the family. We even spent time out at night with their son and his friends which gave a truely local touch to our stay. The case is away from the main road, in a quiet part of town, but easy to find. Highly recommended for all visitors to Vinales.

Casa specifics: Quiet, Fantastic hosts, Comfortable, Hidden gem, Roomy, Charming, Safe, Garden, Pets in the house, Patio
Amenities: Airconditioning, Private bathroom, Garden, Breakfast service, Queensize bed, Bathroom with shower
How was your room?: Our room was spacious with a double bed and private bathroom with shower. Air conditioned we slept great!
How was the food they offer?: Food was wholesome, traditional and hearty. We were always asked what we would like for dinner and our hosts were very obliging: chicken, pork, fish etc with plenty of fresh veg, rice and plantain. Breakfast and dinner were served just outside our room on the patio. Very comfortable. Extra drinks were available on request!
Other services they offer: Lucilo and Nirma were great. They arranged for us to go out on horse back one morning into the national park (which ended with a local farmer serving us Mohitos and hand rolled cigars!). On our final day they help us arrange a private taxi back to Havana airport (rather than getting the early morning bus and hanging around the airport) we saved up some cash and the taxi was CUC70 - well worth it and only 2 hours rather than 3.5!

Casa Lucilo y Nirma

My review: The Casa Lucilo y Nirma is a wonderful place to stay. The couple Lucilo & his wife Nirma are very friendly, kind & accommodating. The room, a separate building in the garden behind the main house, was clean & very comfortable with two French beds and air-conditioning. The bathroom has a shower (cold, warm and hot water) and a WC (and very important for Cuba: you do have water when you want to take a shower!). Additionally, internet service is offered.
Breakfast included a fresh squeezed tropical juice (which was delicious & healthy), bread & omelet, coffee, tea and more (whatever you want).
Dinner was great, no typical tourist grub. The table in the garden was full. They cooked all sorts of dishes, rice, potatoes, soup, meat, seafood... If you ask for a special dish, they will surely do their very best to serve it. Just let them know what you prefer. We tried lobster, it was fantastic. We also had pork, fish fillet (was also delicious) and it all comes with rice and black beans, banana chips, fresh vegetables, salad and regional fruits. You can ask for wine or beer, both from Vinales.
Our luggage was always safe there & we were so comfortable. They too will wash your dirty clothes.
Both speak quiet good English but if you can speak Spanish that is better. You can ask them for Spanish lesions if you want to improve your knowledge. They can arrange a lot of trips; just tell them, what you are interested in.
We highly recommend to everyone travelling to Vinales, just give them a phone call, email them and when you enter the house, you will feel like in Cuban heaven.

Review

Hello travelers!

My name is Jamison Firestone.I just had a fantastic stay at Casa Lucilo y Nirma!
Please do not find another place to stay at!

I am still impressed by their hospitality...Lucilo and Nirma...were such a gracious hosts!

They live in town close to the center, only 4 min walking from there.The neighborhood is very quiet and will make you feel like you have been living there for ages.
The rooms are very comfortable an clean...both have en-suite bathrooms(hot and cold water all day long) and are air-conditioned.You will have your own key and In case you get home late at night there is no need to disturb the family

While I was there there were undergoing renovation....the house will have a fantastic new floor and will be much more comfortable

They can arrange everything for you...walking tours..bird watching(with a friend of the family..Emma..an outstanding biologist who will show you the whole area and will make you her student:-), horseback riding trips, salsa lessons, Spanish lessons...accommodation in other provinces and flights confirmations...just ask them in advance

Yune, the youngest member of the family will take you for a memorable walk to the mountains and will explain everything about Vinales and what they grow there

Yunior, who is a gay guy please see his website in case you want yours of Havana will take you to bar since he knows everyone

They have a very nice pet..a chow..Tayson..who is the most beautiful dog all over the world.

It is a pity I had to leave...I would gladly leave my nowadays life and will move to Vinales...there is something special in this family...something that should never dissapear....
