We booked Casa Lucilo y Nirma for two nights and we are thrilled we did ! The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable will all amenities. Gorgeous bathrooms !
The breakfast was the best we had in Cuba and freshly made every morning. The service the family offers is super good: we book airport transfers , excursions and we were given excellent advise on nice places to eat.
The atmosphere in the casa is very relaxed and tbe green plants give you an amazing feel of nature. The rooftop terrace is amazing for relaxing over the sunsets. Highly recommended for your Vinales stay !

Lucilo and Nirma are incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, making us feel like part of their family from the moment we arrived. The rooms are newly renovated, comfortable, and stylish, providing a perfect retreat. Both the restroom and bedroom are spacious and well-appointed. The rooftop swimming pool is a fantastic amenity, especially on hot days, offering a refreshing escape and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Breakfast is a highlight (offered by “las dos flaquitas”), with delicious offerings that we highly recommend. Additionally, Nirma’s son, Junior, is a gem. He knows all the best spots in the city and is well-connected with everyone. If you need anything, just ask Junior, and he’ll find the perfect solution for you. Our stay in Viñales was truly exceptional thanks to their hospitality and attention to detail. We can’t wait to return!

Incredible place with beautiful community vibe
Posted 19 Jun 2024 on HotelsStaying at Casa Lucilo y Nirmo offered us a true taste of Cuba. It was perfect from start to finish - the rooms were clean and perfect, sitting on the terrace at the front enabled us to watch the community and the world go by. The family are so friendly and will help you with anything you need even though they don't speak English. If we came back to Vinales I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
The powercuts can be challenging but this is across Cuba so you must be prepared for this - especially for AC during the evening.

Thank you Emma for your wonderful comments about your stay with us ! We loved having you for a couple of days and would also welcome you back in a heartbeat! We do not understand why you mention a national issue ( the power cuts) on your gorgeous review about your stay in Vinales but we can also confirm they are not our responsibility and are imposed to all the Cuban businesses and individuals. Power cuts are circumstantial and should not be a reason to not come to such a unique settlement like Vinales! We have a power generator to counteract the effect of power cuts and do welcome guests anytime of the year ! All the best and happy travels !

Fabulous stay with the sweetest owners. The casa is centrally located but still in a very peaceful neighborhood- extremely safe. The rooms were spectacular with lovely touches and en-suite bathrooms. Lucilo and Nirma were very proactive and helped us plan of stay - it did make the difference! The activities and sights they recommended were top!
We particularly loved the sunsets at the rooftop and being able to pet the cute pet they have called Bruno :) Lastly , the casa can arrange your rides to and from Vinales which is very convenient ! Thank you for an amazing stay !

Unforgettable stay at Casa Lucilo y Nirma!
We could not ask for better hosts full of great tips and kindness. We booked all trips and restaurants with then and all recommendations were amazing . They made our stay so placid and enjoyable with reliable and timely service. The rooms are amazing compared to the local standard. The rooftop terrace is beautiful and overlooks the famous mogotes - both from the pool or the rocking chairs.
The breakfast offered at the casa is perfect - plentiful and tasty !
Do yourself a favor and book them !

We can only highly recommend Casa Lucilo y Nirma ! Once we checked in, they warmly greeted us and set the tone for a perfect stay ! Lucilo y Nirma are extremely helpful , attentive, caring and go above and beyond to make you feel like at home.
We based our entire stay on their tour recommendations and local venues to eat and drink. The sunrise hike and the horse trip were our of this world-such an authentic way to explore the valleys and wild nature of Vinales! They also recommended local restaurants and each time we were speechless - restaurant to catch one of the most gorgeous sunsets in the island and another resto with idilic views nestled in the heart of Valle de Vinales.
The rooftop terrace is just gorgeous , such an added value to the casa- it is ideal to freshen up after our days exploring.
The rooms are spotless and very comfortable , with ensuite luxury bathroom and A/C. Rooms are very safe and are also peaceful to sleep and relax.
The breakfasts are very tasty and diverse , plenty of fruits and freshly made every morning!
Transportation arrangements are available -the family can get you anywhere in Cuba, comfortably !
Best place to stay in town!

Impecable stay with the the most delightful people ! We cannot say enough about our stay with Lucilo y Nirma ! It was simply perfect ! The casa is very peaceful , full of good vibes and managed by an incredibly friendly and helpful family. They offer the healthiest and richest breakfast in town, definitely a must have. They can arrange trips and excursions to amazing sunrises and off the beaten track valleys . The horse tour was our favorite ! The rooms are impeccably clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated - great value for the money ! The showers are the most amazing we had in Cuba . The green terrace is like a little jungle with lots of plants , ideal to relax and have a drink :)
The rooftop pool is an A , very cool views of the mogotes and neighborhood. We would take a swim every day enjoying the amazing sunsets and fresh breeze. If you need transportation arrangements , simply ask Lucilo y Nirma, they can get you anywhere you want in Cuba for affordable prices and with very comfortable cars. Simply book with them , it will change your experience to the best version!
Thank you for the authentic experience !

Fallen in love with Vinales
Posted 26 Feb 2024 on HotelsWe had the most amazing stay in this casa in Vinales. The room was beautifully clean, the breakfast was by far the best we had in Cuba and Alex was a great host, very informative about things to do in the area. We had a couple of powercuts while we were there but that's to be expected so it wasn't a huge issue. Vinales is absolutely beautiful, laidback, friendly and full of lovely bars and restaurants with great live music. We wish we had booked for longer and will hopefully go back some day.
Alex if you read this I would love to get in touch with the lady that came round on the saturday morning with the clothes thinking they were mine - she said Bruno was her dog's father? Can you email me (or ask her to) on lindsaysathome@btinternet.com so I can try and connect with her? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much, Tracey and David

Hola Tracey and David! Thank your for such a gorgeous and heartfelt review! We loved hosting you and you are definitely welcome to stay with us again - we will welcome you with open arms!As for the power outages you mention on your review : They are not our responsibility or/and fault. They are entirely managed by the government as they are in wealthy countries like South Africa or even in some states in the USA! We have no control over them but we do have control over the way we react to them: that us why we have a power generator :) We encourage all travelers to conduct RESEARCH about destinations they are traveling to , specially Cuba so they know what to expect! All the best, Alex and family
