The building was constructed in 1940, and it is located in El Vedado section, historically the artistic and cultural center of the city, where famous celebrities once (and some of them still do) lived!

The house, originally belonged to one family, and eventually had several other owners who neglected maintenance and upkeep, causing general deterioration.  However, after some years of hard work, the house, at least the upper part where we live, has been upgraded almost to its original condition.

At "Casa Antigua", eclectic decorative elements from different cultures make a for an interesting decorative fusion, while preserving the neo-classical and the Cuban colonial architecture. The green wooden structures and Corinthian columns in the veranda give this area a touch of class.

The main large double-door gate and lattice, protected by a hand-made iron railing, opens the way to the house. Just inside the house, you'll find a small hallway, marble step staircase, and a stainglass window, giving the room's atmosphere a mystic or magical sense, with Celtic themes, handicraft, and religious artifacts.

Upon arriving to the first stair landing, one easily sees a welcoming Victorian image lamp shining from above, and can enjoy a beautiful shrine of the “Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre”, Cuba's patron saint, and our most important religious symbol.

The rooms overlook the central courtyard of the house, which is completely surrounded by plants and an intense tropical light as well as some crafts made by friends or ourselves, you can enjoy quietly while we discuss about visiting plans, history or politics
