Cuba
In a town replete with casas particulares it is hard to stand out in Vinales, but Casa Brunilda manages it handily. Aside from the nice room and outdoor sitting area, the main reason is the woman herself: Brunilda has a great sense of humour, loves to chat, and is the best cook in Cuba. Seriously. Each meal was a banquet, made all the more remarkable by the fact that it was all whipped up on stoves in the back garden. Insist on trying the bean soup...

I loved this casa particular. We were only there for two nights but it was clean, comfy and incredibly welcoming. My Spanish is not great, and my friend's was not existent. It didn't matter, Clara and Roberto were by far and away the most accomodating hosts I came across in Cuba.
