Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Santiago de Cuba

great place in the best neighbourhood

Bayamo is a small, pleasant and quiet town with friendly people. This casa has electricity 24 hrs per day, wifi and hot water. The room on the terrace feels like a home away from home and even has a kitchen where I prepare simple meals. Andi can arrange a tour of the interesting Botanical Gardens outside of town. I decided to extend my stay and take refuge here until the chaotic Xmas and New Years holidays blow over. The hosts Rosa, Rodulfo and their son Andi are super nice and welcoming. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you La Perla!

La Casita de Marta is a very good option to stay in Santiago. Great location, very comfortable room and stays and we also had the kindness and speed of Marta and Adela who prepared breakfast for us quickly and managed different services to help us. Totally recommendable!

I have stayed with this family for many weeks and truly felt like part of the family. They help in any way possible. Yamila is available 24/7 and is happy to go anywhere with me. We have had a lot of fun together. I am leaving for a few weeks touring Cuba but have decided to return for many more weeks in Santiago😎. The neighbourhood is amazing with a lot of things going on at the corner. It is fun watching life from the terrace. The view is fantastic. It is near the centre of the city, all the amazing music destinations and close to the parque Alameda on the malecon😁. The parque is great for dance lessons. I also did my dance lessons and Spanish lessons on the terrace of the casa👌. Thank you Yamila❤️

This was by far the best apartment in Santiago de Cuba, very clean, the amenities perfect, everything always worked. You have noticed that the apartment was furnished with attention to detail. Thank you very much dear Valia!!! I felt very comfortable the whole time.

I honestly do not think that I can write a review that will do justice to the amazing experience that we had at Octavio and Leida's home. I've stayed in many Airbnbs throughout Cuba and this was the best one for so many reasons. The hosts are so genuine and sweet and enthusiastically helped us out with anything we needed, going way above and beyond what hosts normally do. Leida's cooking is fantastic, the location is perfect as it is within walking distance from downtown Santiago and tucked away on a quiet street. Octavio speaks English very well and has a wonderful sense of humour while his wife, Leida, is (as cheesy as it sounds) a ray of sunshine. My group of six stayed at their casa for 2 weeks and always came home to clean sheets and towels. I would recommend Leida and Octavio to anyone who wants an authentic experience in Santiago. Their generosity and kindness cannot be beat!

Entire house on a second floor. Very friendly people. The breakfast is very delicious. 100% recommended.

We booked Yanets place in Santiago for a week and we were really happy about it! Great location, great host and nice spacious house. We enjoyed our breakfast (pancakes, fresh fruit, eggs and great coffee!) in the morning sun on the patio before we went to salsaclass. Yanet gave us recommendations for the best paladares and dance lacations. La Claqueta is definitely a winner ;) thanks for the great stay!

A very good place to stay, the location is very good and the hosts are very friendly

I recommend, very kind and helpful hosts. Delicious breakfasts, they treated us like family members.

Host provided a lot of information that we needed and the place was nice. Would book it again.

A very quiet and peaceful place to stay. Private, clean, roomy, secure. Well worth your money. Javier was willing to help us however he could. We will definitely be back whenever we go back to Santiago.

It was our best experience during the trip. The charming family that runs the place made us feel at home at once. They gave us all needed info (in petfect english) about the area. Helped with the neighbours to arrange trips in the area (beach, river, mountains, countryside with coffee and other plantations. We were taken by motorbikes, horse cart, huge camion, old chevrolet - great adventures. We where able to experience "real Cuba" with the best guides. The ladies are real wizards, being able to create decent meals in the very poor kingdom. Two shy little ferries bathed us with cheers and blossoms. We could have some "talks" with very friendly animals, dogs and horses, looking happy and well treated. Lush garden, meals on verrandah visited by kolibri and lizzards. We relaxed well in this beautiful, peaceful place, and we wished to have more time to spend with those lovely people. P.S. Just have in mind, that while the two new rooms are great, the third one is very simple.

We had a nice stay in Bayamo and enjoyed the small Terrasse on the first floor a lot. The family dog was very cute and playful and the host, Lorenzo, always eager to help out!
