Plaza Vieja 1912, Cuba

Plaza Vieja 1912

Boutique
Havana, Cuba

This two-bedroom casa particular is on the top floor of an historic building that overlooks Plaza Vieja, in the heart of Old Havana. Lovely and clean and in a very atmospheric setting, it is a great base from which to wander the old town.

It has a delightful roof terrace with an abundance of plants and the owners serve a great breakfast. If you want privacy we recommend that you book both rooms, and please note that there are four flights of stairs to reach the penthouse.

Why we like Plaza Vieja 1912

Aside from being surrounded by remarkable architecture and culture, Plaza Vieja belongs to the Historic centre of Old Havana and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

John Faithfull has been great throughout. We are previous customers over many years and John understood and valued us as clients, tailoring the itinerary and resorts to suit our tastes - the trip was spot on.

Overall another amazing trip from Steppes Travel. We saw so many different sights and had so many new experiences. Would always highly recommend Steppes.

John unveiled a side of Jamaica that we had not expected - while we knew the beaches would be spectacular, we were blown away by the opportunities to spend time in the mountains. Aside from the holiday itself, we were so impressed with the communication with John throughout.

Destination: Jamaica
Travel Expert: John

We visited both Trinidad and Tobago on a trip planned seamlessly by John. Thank you for pouring so much effort into our trip, going above and beyond to tailor excursions and properties to our requirements.

We knew we wanted to visit Saint Lucia, but we were unprepared for the itinerary that John prepared. He went far beyond just a typical beach stay, arranging snorkelling, guided hiking, and even a visit to a historic plantation house.

Destination: Saint Lucia
Travel Expert: John

We had a blissful stay in Saint Kitts, and John has considered everything from properties with pools to amazing wildlife sightings.

Destination: Saint Kitts and Nevis

John created a highly customised itinerary for us in Grenada that included the most amazing snorkelling we have ever done! Thanks also for picking such idyllic properties.

Snorkelling with colossal humpback whales is something we will never forget. Thank you, John, for recommending the Dominican Republic for our underwater adventure.

Destination: Dominican Republic

John knew the ins and outs of Cuba and was able to answer every question (big and small) that we had. We really feel that we had an off the beaten track experience in this already mysterious country.
