Casa Colonial is a beautifully restored 1920's Spanish Colonial house close to the University, high on the hill. The Napoleonic Museum, restaurants, cinema, bars, bank, post office and supermarkets are all just 2-3 minutes walk from the house. El Malecon is a 10 minute walk and Havana Vieja about 20-30 minutes. We have four rooms all with quiet air conditioning and a fan. On the roof is a large terrace where you can relax in the cool evenings. There is Wi-Fi access in the park two blocks from the house. Betsy is a wonderful cook and can prepare meals and breakfast on request.
