We had a really good time at this case. The room is spacious and clean, with everything you can wish for. There is a small swimming pool and the owners are very helpfull with arranging excursions. Also the food was very tasteful.

We stayed 3 nights at Villa Cristal which made a peaceful antidote to Havana. Fabulous location which has views from the roof terrace of the nearby Mojotes hills in the Vinales valley.

The time we spent in Vinales was the best part of our trip in Cuba! The location is stunning and the family of Any, Francisco, Efrain and Flavia is so friendly and welcoming.

2 night stay - and we had wonderful meals here each night. Great accommodation - including the 'wiggle your toes in the pool' experience. Any also gets our 'best mojito in Cuba' award. Any's travel industry knowledge was also very helpful. You won't be disappointed here.

We spent two nights at Villa Crystal and our host Any was delightful. Since we were pressed for time, she calmly answered our questions the moment we entered the casa.

We tried to book a room with them but they had no vacancies at the time so they recommended us a Casa which was just opposite of their home.

We had booked a room at Villa Cristal with Francisco and Anita.
