Casa particular

Rooms for rent in private homes

Some Cubans are allowed to rent out rooms... known as a casa particular.

They have to be licensed to rent to foreigners, though.

There are so many casas and each is unique. Conditions vary widely, so you may want to check first to ensure that you have hot water and a private bathroom.

Meals cost extra. It's a good idea to pay for breakfast because finding food in the Havana streets is never easy.



When you’re walking the streets of Havana and suburbs, look around and you will see room for rent signs...
Se venda habitacion.

Feel free to knock on the door and inquire.

• a 1920s mansion with Art Deco bathrooms
• a Russian-built apartment with no flush toilet or running water
• an 1880s mansion
• a cottage by the sea
• a 1950s penthouse apartment

I loved them all, because each came with a unique Cuban family who told me their stories.

The women cooked their Cuban specialties and showed me a whole new world of ingenuity when cooking on a hotplate.

One family took me to their garage and we took turns spinning a whole pig on a spit for hours.
