Villa Liba

The alma (soul) bubbles over at this smart bungalow evoking a 1950s North American suburb. At the center are welcoming hosts: Jorge is a modern-day Pablo Neruda with whimsical anecdotes aplenty on Holguín life; and Mariela is an accomplished massage and Reiki specialist offering on-site treatments (CUC$25). It's worth dining in. Meals (CUC$4 to CUC$8), including vegetarian fare, have a Lebanese flair.
