We knew that after sightseeing in Havana, Vinales and Cienfuegos we might need some downtime!! So I looked for a place in Trinidad which might have some exterior space.......and a swimming pool!
And we found La Casona......
This is one of the oldest fincas in Trinidad....
and it is still a functioning farm...... with the opportunity to go out riding........
...saddles at the ready......
The finca may be old....but not the rooms they offer!
We even had our own private sitting area.....
...where I was indeed overlooked....
This could definitely be termed a 'small boutique hotel'! It was fantastic......
The breakfast/dinner eating area was a covered outdoor area......
beside their garden..... plenty of mint to make mojitos!
and the pool area was spectacular.
...with an incredible view to the Escambray mountain range....
....and, in case you wondered, this is how you build a cactus fence!
Unfortunately we could only reserve 2 nights of the 4 we had originally wanted....and we booked in November for March. It is popular with luxury tour groups...and we understand why!
They organised taxis for us to get into the centre...not a problem at 5 CUC ($) a ride...
Breakfast was great.....
Dinner was good......but we decided to try somewhere else the following night!!
.....and we did get to see a beautiful sunset.....

..and it had some interesting objects!
We even had our own private sitting area.....
This could definitely be termed a 'small boutique hotel'! It was fantastic......
The breakfast/dinner eating area was a covered outdoor area......
....the semi outdoor kitchen was spotless......
and the pool area was spectacular.
