I cannot praise this place enough! It was the best place we stayed in the whole holiday and the cheapest too! Lumino is one of the lovliest ladies I have ever met. Even though she could speak no english and we spoke little spanish we still managed to have fantastic evenings chatting. The food she served up every night was amazing. Delicious every time and enough to fill up an american!
The room has it's own bathroom and is fairly basic but has a fantastic area to sit out at night. Breakfasts were amazing too!
Heriberto was also a pleausure to drink with and introduced us to the joys of beer and clamato. He also made sure I drank the right beer!
Thank you Lumino, you are a complete star.

Lumino makes this Casa what it is. She is such a wonderfully animated, vibrant and caring woman. She will do everything she can to make you feel at home. Her cooking is outstanding so make sure you eat at home if you still here. We had such a lovely time, Lumino really made our Cuban experience. Thank you!

Lumino came and picked us up, brought us back to her casa and immediately served us with the best (have never tasted anything like it) homemade mango juice. Always there to help with or spoil us rotten with lovely home cooked food and homemade juices. You won't be short of anything staying here!

When we arrived in Viñales on the Viazul we were greeted by a enthustically smiling and waving Lumino. I immediately knew this is going to be a wonderful 2 days. Everything is nice and clean and Lumino and Heriberto are very helpful with tips and setting you up with whatever you fancy doing (cycling, horseriding, etc). You get a fair bit of space to yourself on a lovely terrace and are just a few minutes away from the bus. The food was amazing and far too much!!! Although my Spanish is less than basic Lumino had so much patience with me and we actually did understand each other. We laughed a lot. I felt I had found a second mother in Cuba and didn't want to leave!!!!

One word of advice which is not concerning the casa but the horseriding, make sure you ask the price before. We didn't ask and the guy being all sweet and nice charged us for 4 hours instead of the 1.5/2hrs we actually went. That was one lesson learned.

Hopefully one day we will be able to return to Casa Lumino and by then I should be able to have a proper conversation ;-)
