Casa Hostal Estela, Estela Castillo proprietor
My review: Estela Castillo was a gracious and welcoming hostess. She met us at the Viazul bus station, holding a sign saying, "Sandy USA." Estela's beautiful home is a five minute walk from the bus station. We stayed two lovely nights here. We got settled in the private, clean back room, and Estela showed us our private refrigerator well stocked with bottled water and Bucaneero beer. Estela serves a fantastic and plentiful breakfast of sweet, fresh fruit, delicious breads, and eggs. Her coffee is excellent, too! The greatest treat, however, was the fantastic dinner she prepared for us on our second night. Savory pork in delicate spices, fantastic platanos, rice, avocado and garden fresh tomato salad. Estela is a fantastic chef! This casa has a queen sized bed and a double bed, and a! n excellent air conditioner for hot summer days and nights. The bathroom is roomy and well appointed. My 21 year old son and I had plenty of room and privacy here. The neighborhood is quiet and an easy walk to the Plaza Mejor for music and nightlife, or to the sights of this beautiful colonial town. Estela's English is fantastic, and her daughter (also great English language skills) came to visit while we were here. Very wonderful experience with warm, lovely hostess. Thank you, Estela! We will be back someday!
