Hotel: Hostal Casa Elio Ramos

Hotel: Hostal Casa Elio Ramos

A beautiful colonial house set right in the heart of the town, Professor Elio’s casa particulares is the jewel in Trinidad’s crown. With luxurious rooms, a fantastic location, and service to match, this is one casa you won’t want to leave behind. Boasting two double rooms with en suite bathrooms, large fridge-freezers and extra beds available in each, the hub of the house centres around two airy rooftop terraces that overlook the town’s dramatic landscape. At night Cuban rhythms waft on the wind from the Casa de la Musica, whilst by day guests are ideally situated to explore the area, being only two blocks from the aptly named central park (parque cespedes).   Local amenities are both convenient and numerous, including a swimming pool, bank, internet café, currency exchange, music venues, museums and shops of all descriptions. Just as well connected as he is well placed, Elio organizes a range of competitively priced excursions, including scuba dives, snorkeling trips, Spanish classes, salsa lessons and horse-back rides to the picturesque Escambray waterfall reserve, as well as any taxi rides you own explorations may require.   Fantastic food is also available from Elio’s professionally trained brother, who works as a chef and provides a broad array of meals that are difficult to beat! Eager to please and fluent in English and Italian as well as Spanish, Elio is a magnanimous host providing service with a smile and will make you feel at home. For these reasons and more, come and see for yourself why this is a casa to remember in a place you’ll never forget.
