Hostal Leonardo y Rosa SANTIAGO DE CUBA is in the heart of the old part, next to the most touristy streets

Hostal Leonardo y Rosa SANTIAGO DE CUBA has an extraordinary location: it is in the heart of the old part, next to the most touristic and lively streets, but a few meters away from the hustle and bustle (just enough to get away from the hustle and bustle). Located between the squares of Dolores and de Marte, a few meters from one of the most emblematic buildings in Santiago (the neoclassical and spectacular headquarters of the Bacardi Museum). Next to the Boulevard ((delicious square, full of trees, cafes and cool shadows, where it is a real pleasure to sit on a terrace and taste a coffee in the open air while you distract yourself watching people go by) and next to Heredia street ( where the best Cuban music venues are concentrated) .

The Hostal Leonardo y Rosa SANTIAGO DE CUBA is a good neocolonial house, with an eclectic style and with a very colonial layout (all around a patio that provides air, ventilation and natural light to the whole house) It was built in 1909, although it is renovated (especially in the part of the rooms). It has four bedrooms. Large and quiet, all with air conditioning and private bathroom.

The culinary service is excellent. Rosa, the hostess, has a very good hand in the kitchen, so that -if you wish- she will prepare delicious (and filling) continental breakfasts and lunches and dinners of family cuisine, based on Cuban recipes and seasonal products. Great portions and good side dishes. Very cheap prices.

Leonardo, the husband, defines himself as an expert in Cuban history. Outgoing, fun and talkative man, he enjoys and makes customers enjoy on his beautiful terrace, at the top of the building. It is perfect to spend pleasant moments enjoying the views, the afternoon breeze and the skies of Santiago. In addition, the host turns out to be a great connoisseur of vintage cars, which she adores and is her passion. How could it be otherwise, he is the president of the Santiago Antique Car Club.
