In Spanish, the casa specific actually implies “private home”. In 1997, the Cuban government revealed that Cuban households might register their house as a privately had company as well as lease out spaces to foreigners.

What is a Casa Particular?

Basically these are Cuban house stays, however in our experience there is much more privacy in a Cuban casa specific than in a routine house stay that you’d discover in other parts of the world. numerous times, there is an entire separate home, or at least section of the home, for tourists to stay in.

The household is always there to assist you out as well as chat with you, however you’re provided a great deal of privacy as well. Don’t believe that just since you’re staying in a casa specific that you’ll be expected to hang out with the household 24/7. They want you to get out as well as check out their city as well as aside from some dinners as well as breakfasts, you’ll be left alone to check out as well as relax.

How Do I Find My Pre-Booked Casa In Each Town?

We suggest calling or emailing each casa owner before you show up in their city. many of the time they will come as well as satisfy you at the bus station with a indication that has your name on it.
