"Situated midway between Old Havana and the Vedado, Samuel and Alberto's colonial casa is a magical place, in another era — one which could close in because of economic turmoil.

It's in their living room that legendary singer Omara Portuondo was photographed for the cover of a recent album.

Samuel was a textile artist, he died in 2015. On his works, one can find shades of Santeria deities and great Cuban artists who preceded him such as Pelaez, Portocarrero, Lam and many others.

Lodging here, you are staying on top of a real art gallery and shop (ground floor), where the colors sometimes hidden, sometimes shimmering defy the harsh woven sisal.

Alberto, an artisan and an artist works from the back kitchen and creates bracelets and necklaces, bags and scarves.

Sometimes his creations are accessories for local film productions. "

The three rented bedrooms are upstairs. Hosts recommend booking at least one week ahead.

Prices : 25cuc per bedroom per night, only breakfast is served: 1.50-4cuc
