Casa La Casona Jover
My review: I stayed one night at this Casa. It was my first stay in Cuba off-resort, and I was travelling alone. I was a bit reluctant, until I met the hosts, Denis and Mirta. I was treated like royalty. The room was large, cool and impeccable. Dinner was enormous, a delicious Cuban dish (house special) of pineapple soy chicked accompanied by soup, salad, dessert and coffee. It was far more than I could possibly eat and very affordable.
The fridge in my room was well stocked, bottled water in abundance for a small cost. The shower and floors were sparkling clean. Denis arranged a cab for my hour and a half drive back to my resort. The cab driver was a lovely man and spoke enough English that we were able to carry on a very informative conversation. If you require taxi service, just ask Denis.
While there, I was happy that all I had to do is step out onto the walkway and a taxi of some kind was within a minutes wait....bicycle, horse, car. The house was old colonial and beautifully arranged with pieces from that era.
I can't wait to return for a longer stay in this beautiful vibrant city....there is so much to see. Thank you Mirta, Denis and your beautiful family for your gracious care....hola to Mayito and Ernestina!
