CHECK INTO CASA EL CHECHY

Recomendar a otros viajeros

This year, returning to cuba, we decided to be adventurous and spend more time getting to know cubans firsthand by booking into casas particulares. for the last leg of our trip, we chose casa el chechy having visited the premises the year before. other than the distant sound of a rooster crowing, this property is amazingly quiet despite being just a convenient block away from the centre of bustling vinales. location, location, location! el chechy has an expansive backyard with secured parking. our hosts eunice and ricardo immediately offered us a cool glass of freshly squeezed lemonade which we inhaled thirstily on their inviting patio, thankfully shaded by a big blue and yellow parasol. to add to casa el chechy's charm, there is a panoramic view from the rooftop terrace where you might watch the sunset or enjoy a cool beer or your breakfast and/or dinner. this family run casa, including their vivacious daughter, are so welcoming and helpful with plenty of suggestions of what to see and do while visiting vinales. we are both serious photographers and their son-in-law rey is an excellent taxi driver for cuba taxi. rey has driven us extensively throughout cuba and the surrounding vinales valley. his cab is in immaculate condition and the air-conditioning works! it’s definitely a family affair! they say the vinales valley is the most beautiful place in cuba. we agree! as for the food eunice’s lobster, a family secret recipe, done in a tomato sauce still leaves me salivating! servings were always generous! great news! you have your own private entrance to your room with an enticing mural of the vinales valley greeting you at the top of a few steps. the room is most affordable at cuc20.00 per night. we were impressed with the immaculate housekeeping. our room was large with its own bathroom and shower. our beds were made each morning and we received fresh linens and towels daily much to our surprise as that was not our experience in pinar del rio, our first casa particular experience. there was also plenty of hot water to shower too. we spent two nights at casa chechy and parted leaving our hearts with this warm embracing cuban family.

Recomendar a otros viajeros

We stayed two nights at casa el chechy on the 30th and 31st of december 2012 and had a fantastic time! the room was comfortable and clean and the family so lovely! we felt right at home...and the food was delicious!! the location was also great, right across from the main square...you can sit on the roof and look right at the square. my husband and i were on our honeymoon and the two nights we spent at this casa were a highlight on our trip through cuba. we had a lovely time and we would highly recommend this place...we are planning on coming back sometime in the future!
