Casa Gil Lemes

Trinidad


This gorgeous casa was one of Trinidad's first, listed in Lonely Planet's 1st-edition Cuba guidebook in 1997. Marvel at the noble arches, religious statues and a classic patio with fountain, real hummingbirds and sea serpents. The family only books one room, so snap it up if it's available.
