Nice casa and really friendly owners (no English). Pick you up at busstop Viazul. Location is a little out of the centre, but since Vinalles is so small you can walk there within 10 minutes. Great breakfast and she has good recommendation for diner!

This was a lovely little place, and we loved the location and casa. The room has AC, and the shower gives warm water with good pressure! It is down a residential road with a strong village-y feel. It is less than 10 mins walk to main plaza and feels like a very safe neighbourhood.

The breakfast was vetymology tasty (extra 5cuc per person) Martha and her husband and sons were all very nice.

Martha helped us by organising excursions, however, my only suggestion is that if you're on a tight budget, maybe check for prices in town as we ended up paying more than what was quoted in town for horse excursion and cave tour. make sure to agree prices for taxi excursions and confirm wait times... because we don't speak Spanish, I think there was miscommunication and we ended up paying more (not Martha's fault, but would be easier avoided if everything was clearly agreed beforehand).

We had food poisoning after breakfast for many days in Cuba with no public restrooms. There were ants in room. uncomfortable beds

Marta is EXTREMELY pushy in 'arranging' tours 'through' her. She pushed to book over-priced tours without much info. She is a salesperson with sub-avg quality rooms. The whole trip after that was disaster. please avoid staying here

Chino picked us up from the bus station and guided us to their place. The casa itself is in the nature but very close to the center and very clean. The hosts were really helpful and nice, they recommended us a lot of things we enjoyed doing in the end. The breakfast and the dinner were great! Since their neighbors also have a casa to rent, for the first time we could also meet other travellers, which was a great experience. Speaking Spanish is recommended though to communicate with the hosts.

it was our best casa in Cuba! Marta and El Chino has been very nice and helpful. The room was perfekt and the casa was close to the citycenter and the Viazul station (5 min walk). We had not any negative experience in this casa.

Marta and her family and friends, including her adorable son, were fantastic hosts - very accommodating, responsive, and always smiling and friendly, while never being invasive.

The room and bathroom are simple, but clean and well-kept, and the little tiki/cabana area right outside the room is a charming spot on a warm evening.
