Los Vitrales

Top choice in Camagüey


A former convent, this enormous, painstakingly restored colonial house sports broad arches, high ceilings and dozens of antiques. The helpful owner Rafael is an architect, and it shows. Three rooms with good water pressure are arranged around a shady patio draped in lush gardens that are a highlight. There are over-the-top breakfasts and dinners with special orders available (vegetarians welcome).

Touts often lead guests astray to another 'Vitrales' – be sure to call ahead for taxi pickup and confirm your reservation a day ahead.
