Resembling a little piece of Florida, this smart, detached neocolonial with requisite palm tree dates from 1945. It sits in the shadow of the Loma de la Cruz, a calm location worth the minor inconvenience. Two spacious guest rooms occupy their own wing of the house, offering ample privacy. Enrique and Mayda are thoughtful and deeply knowledgeable hosts.
Check out the skilled artwork of Enrique's son: a terracotta bust of Che Guevara in the living room next to an unusual 3m-long canvas copy of Da Vinci's The Last Supper with St John as a woman.
