Although hidden from view, this place is part of most tourist write-ups (even the NY Times) so we could not pass by without having a look.

The nuns residence turned B&B is best for student and affinity groups as it offers communal lodging including a 6-bed dormitory, two doubles including a suite above the lobby building with a private terrace; also three triples and three quads. None has air-conditioning. Fine in winter as nights can be quite cool but lodging here in summer must be absolutely stifling.

A wide balcony runs around the L-shaped building overlooking a large not really flowery patio, save for the dining area on the ground by the lobby. As in old days, no tv. English softly spoken, as quiet as when nuns were shut here for life. The stories these walls could tell... Some are, next door during visits to the convent museum (see bottom right).

Rates : 25cuc per person including breakfasts. Reduced rates for groups, como no.
