Description

Casa Lilly is a warm family run hostel, a Casa, as they are called in Cuba. This marvelous Bed and Breakfast is located in Vedado, a lively neighborhood that includes most of Havana's theatres and night clubs. It is within walking distance to the Malecon de la Havana, La Rampa walkstreet, Havana University, Cristobal Colon Cemetery, Museum of Decorative Arts, Coppelia Cremery Park and the famous Hotel Nacional de Cuba. Casa Lilly also has easy access to the rest of the city, which enables you to experience Havana life to the fullest. The beautiful and sunny outdoor balcony has an amazing view of Havana City and the sea. You can take some of the best pictures of your whole stay in Cuba from this vantage point. Every morning a generous breakfast is served on this terrace. It includes organic fruit, delicious eggs and the finest Cuban coffee!

An easy-going atmosphere makes it great place to just sit, get a tan, meet with other fellow travelers and share experiences with a Cuban family. Casa Lilly takes pleasure in ensuring that you get everything you need during your stay. Someone is always available to help you with tourist information, nearby attractions or safe accommodations in other provinces of Cuba.

Very reasonably priced for its comfort and setting!

Lilly and her family love sharing their house because "with every traveler, we get to know a little bit more of the outside world".

Location

As Cuba is an island, the only feasible way of getting there is by plane or boat. A few cruise ships have started stopping at cities like Santiago de Cuba, but this is still rare. With no public transport by boat being available, flying is the only real option for most people.

By Plane
There are several international airports in Cuba, the most important ones being the ones in Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Varadero. Santa Clara and Holguin have regular international flights as well. Havana's Jose Marti International Airport has a good deal of international flights from destinations throughout Canada, Europe, Central America and the Caribbean. Apart from the USA, there are regular flights with the national carrier Cubana to neighbouring countries in the Caribbean. Several other carriers in the region have flights as well, like Air Jamaica and Air Canada. Also there are flights from several countries in Europe, like with Iberia from Spain, Air France from France and Martinair from The Netherlands. Prices for a round trip flight are usually around 800 US dollars, often more in high season. There are some (charter) flights year round from Miami to Cuba, but this is an option which requires that Americans first have to be screened very strictly to get to Cuba. Flights are with Continental Airlines and American Airlines and have to be booked at a tour agent first. Usually, these flights are part of a package deal to places like Varadero.

By Boat
Unless on a cruise or by private yacht, there are no regular passenger options.
