"If they gave out Academy Awards for casa cleanliness, Nilson’s surgically scrubbed house would win hands down. Then there’s the food: fish, fresh avocados, coconut sauces and unusual deserts all prepared skilfully and simply; all indescribably delicious.
But wait, he hasn’t finished yet. Would you like to borrow a bike? Got a bag of laundry? Breakfast at 6am tomorrow? No problem! When the dull monotony of Cuba’s state-run hotels starts to bite, individuals such as Nilson are there to provide a welcome wake-up call; a timely reminder that despite 50 years of on-off austerity the Cubans can be some of the most hospitable people on the planet." Rates : 25cuc for bedroom per night One of Cuba's best casas particulares according to Lonely Planet Cuba guidebook author Brendan Sainsbury published by wanderlust.co.uk • Photo montage © fransvledder.nl |
