Residencia Santa Clara is not your typical casa. Although you will find the same warmth that most Cuban hosts offer, the building, the service, the experience is of different level. Residencia Santa Clara has been featured in FAC (Fabrica de Arte Cubano) as an exceptional example of modern architecture within the constraints of Old Havana whilst using recycled local materials: taps and showers made of galvanised steel tubes, recycled wood doors, furniture made of discarded old trees and more. Due to is fantastic location, facilities and services, Residencia Santa Clara is a truly unique proposal.
The Melia Peninsula Varadero is the best option for an unforgettable stay with the family or friends. There are several pools, walk-ways with terraces and gardens, pergolas, palapas, lakes and spaces enticing you to enjoy the outdoors.
