I stayed at Casa Nivia for a week at the end of April 2013. I enjoyed every minute of my stay over there. Beatriz and her family were very nice and welcoming. They made me feel at home. Beatriz and her husband speak English, so it was easy to communicate with them. It was also easy to book my trip... More

I stayed at Casa Nivia last December during a trip through all Cuba and I was very happy with the house. They treat you very well and I was even invited to Christmas dinner with the whole family (for which they didnt even allowed me to pay). I totally recommend it.

Very kind and warm family, actually the best we stayed with in Cuba. Also absolutely the best food we had in Cuba was at this casa! Especially the diner was really awesome. Beatriz and her husband speak pretty good english. It was our honeymoon and we had a great time there. Highly recommended by us. Just a few minutes walk... More

This casa is definitely one of the nicest in Cuba! Beatriz and her family are amazing: So friendly and helpful! The rooms are very clean and comfortable, close to the main Plaza and the Casa de la musica. The food is extremely good: soup, vegetables, fish or meat - whatever you wish and even nice (!) vegetarian food - and... More

Loved this place so much. Beatrice and her family are brilliant hosts, and Beatrice is an awesome cook, particularly for vegetarian food - which is often hard to come by in Cuba. The room was clean, spacious and had a great view of Santiago de Cuba. The family really made us feel at home and really went out of their... More

Our stay in this Casa was wonderful, we were welcomed into the family who were very much hospitable. The rooms were very big and comfortable. We ate both breakfast and dinner in the Casa which worked out ideally for us as vegetarians. Beatriz was very accommodating and the food was delicious. The Casa is situated within walking distance of most... More

I feel bad giving this just 2 stars. The owners are very nice and kind, and Beatriz goes out of her way to make people feel welcome and help you settle in. The reservation process was also really easy - we don't speak much Spanish but she speaks and writes respectable English, we used minimal Spanish, and everything was fine.... More
