Villa María

Cienfuegos


Well-appointed private homestay affiliated with a quiet cafe-restaurant that is more boutique hotel than casa particular. A lot of work has been put into the three smart rooms, which are gleaming white with a few designer accents. The family owners are very involved and the attractive cafe is a great place to repose even if you're not staying.
