Casa Colonial del 1715

Habana Vieja


This lovely mint-green colonial house stands out amid the superficial scruffiness of Calle Lamparilla. The bright tone continues inside with a wonderful patio set off by a collection of a dozen or more international flags, a welcome that is matched by the congenial owners. The three rooms don't have external windows, but there's air-con for circulation, as well as fine breakfasts.
