Hostal Azul

Top choice in Matanzas


With a front door large enough to ride a stagecoach through, this handsome blue house dating from the 1890s has original tiled floors, an antique wooden spiral staircase and four castle-sized rooms set around a spacious alfresco patio.

Multilingual owner Joel is a true gent and happy to offer his sturdy 1984 Lada for taxi duty. Even better, he runs a spacious period cafe-restaurant on-site selling burgers and salads sourced from a local ecofarm.
