Welcome to Havana, welcome to Cuba!

Hi I’m Anita! I was born in Havana and I have lived in Italy for the past ten years. As I reflected on how to introduce myself, I asked myself: Why don’t you do it in a different way? And since I like reading and I love my country, I thought that this sentence from Alejo Carpentier’s “The Kingdom Of This World” represents me best: “In Latin America, the marvelous is found around every corner, in the disorder, in the picturesque beauty of our cities… in our nature… and also in our history”

Welcome to the house I was born and have grown up in ¡WELCOME TO THE HAVANA VERA!

Why Havana Vera Holiday Home?

It has this name because looking from the balconies one sees an animated neighborhood, with the sounds, emotions and sensations of the real people of Havana. The ones that get up in the morning and go to work, the children who go to school in their characteristic school uniforms etc. At the corner in front of the house “the Bodeguero” is located where Cubans goes shopping with the “libreta de la bodega” (book card).  This card is given to the people by the state and enables them to get rationed foods at reasonable prices. From the house you can also hear the daily passage of “Los Pregoneros” (picturesque peddlers) and the distant musical notes of an orchestra playing a mambo or a salsa.

Therefore you won’t live isolated as a tourist in a painted postcard with the usual palm. You will instead be immersed among the real Cuban people, enjoying an ideal comfortable home from which to experience the intense atmosphere of authentic Havana.
