Casas Particulares For Rent In Havana

By Jose Mauricio Maurette


We all know these are difficult days and there is no much money left for holidays and leisure in our pockets. So we have to find cheap alternatives - either that or stay at home and don't go any where. If you are thinking of going for Cuba Holidays then I am going to give you a hint on how to cut down on the cost.

There are a number of ways to cut down the cost of your holidays to Cuba and today I would like to focus in one in particular. As I mention before hotels in Cuba are not very cheap with the exception of very few 2 or 3 star hotels that are always full and it is very difficult to find rooms available unless you book like a year in advance or so.

If you are traveling to Cuba on a tight budget then why not to take advantage of the excellent prices that Casas Particulares in Cuba offer. Casas Particulares is the term used locally for Private Rentals in Cuba. These properties have a special license from the government which allows them to accommodate Tourist.

Although it is very cheap there are few things you should know before you book on of this houses or apartments in Cuba. The government has given a license to the landlords that want to rent their houses with few conditions and limitations.

Tourist lodgers in Casas Particulares in Cuba have to share the house or apartment with a Cuban family. This present a problem for those who want to be completely independent but it could also be a good idea if you really want to get to know the Cuban way of life.

So what I am trying to say is that staying in Casas Particulares in Cuba is a good idea for cutting down the cost of your holidays to Cuba but is not for everybody. This type of accommodation is suitable for people that have no problem sharing a house with a Cuban family.

You might be able to find few apartments in Havana whose landlords will be willing to rent out the whole place for yourself. In this case you will not have to share with a Cuban family although I strongly recommend doing so. I am not going to list the name of this houses or apartments in Havana in this article for obvious reasons. I will list though few websites that are devoted to promote private accommodation in Cuba and throw their webmasters or reservation consultants you can find the answer to your particular queries.
