Villa Cloty

Habana del Este


Occupying a great spot on Guanabo’s main drag, right by the beach, this place – rather unusually for a casa particular – benefits from its own pool, a kidney-shaped addition to the garden at the side. Bedrooms are well lit and clean (the one at the rear has sea views), and fruity breakfasts are served under a thatched roof in the lovely garden.
