IT’S AN ATMOSPHERIC PLACE
Casa Elvira offers you the perfect combination of the natural warmth of a family home, set in the heart of Baracoa.
At Elvira’s there are just two guestrooms, for example, which means very few guests, so you will receive a genuinely personal service and the assured attention of the owners. Make Casa Elvira a stop-over on your tailor-made holiday to Cuba and you’ll also be in an ideal situation for exploring the interesting town of Baracoa, with its Central Park, tiny streets lined with pastel coloured houses and distinctive marine boulevard – the Malecon – featuring traditional horse-drawn taxis.
It’s an atmospheric place – with an absolutely irresistible ingredient. Surrounding the town are plantations of cocoa trees, from which the locals make – and sell – the most delicious white chocolate ever.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
