As budget travelers, we were not interested in a five-star resort hotel. We wanted a good value that was comfortable, clean, safe, and convenient. We got it all with Elio. The place we had booked did not show up at the bus station and the phone number was disconnected, so we arrived in Trinidad with no place to stay. We... More

We came to visit Trinidad in the beginning of 2012. We were very fortune to find our way to the house of Elio and his mother. Elio is very helpful and will provide you with all the advice you´ll need about Trinidad. If you need to go scuba-diving or horse-back riding, he´ll provide that too. The rooms are situated next...

Trinidad is a beautiful place to stay, and Elio's a warm, welcoming and well-informed host who offers excellent accommodation. His command of several languages, and his links to a wide range of resources means that he can help with local information as well as offer advice on accomodation in other locations. Elio responded helpfully to all our questions and requirements,... More

Even the toilet had a fantastic view. Don't miss the lobster. Do sit on the terrace and enjoy the nice view and evenings of Cuba. Ask host Elios nephew if he will play domino with you. Make a trip to the radio-tower on top of the local hill behind the city. We talked to a very nice guy up there... More

My host Elio Ramos was easy to go along with and very informative. He does not only offer great hospitality with excellent accommodation, food and drink, but is also a great guide to Trinidad and Salsa dancing.

We met Elio at the bus station, and our contact hadn't turned up to meet us. He was really helpful and friendly, and although we didn't stay there, the rating is based on our experience of a great meal on the roof terrace (cooked by Elio's brother, who is a trained chef), and the fact that Elio is good company...

I have been to Trinidad 3 times in 4 different casas. Finally I got to stay at Elio's house for a few nights. The house is beautiful and spacious and he is an extremely helpful guy. He speaks fluent English and Italian and knows everything there is to know about his beautiful town. Although the other houses I have been... More

We had already booked our place to stay when we met Elio at the bus station in Trinidad but that didn't stop us calling in for a meal one night to get to know him better. We had a tasty meal (accommodating a vegetarian) and he introduced us to Francisco who took us out on horseback the following day in... More

I stayed here in December and would recommend Elio's to anyone. Both he and his family are excellent hosts. Your bedroom is quiet,secluded and peaceful and there is a wonderful terrace from which you can view the town and well up into the mountains. Elio is a mine of information and is fluent in English and Italian. The food is... More
