What is casa particular?
Casa Particular is a private home that is available to short term rent as a cheaper substitute for a hotel. Casa Particulares are government controlled and have issued IDs. Maximum two rooms can be rented out per Casa. By staying at a Casa Particular you avoid high hotel fees and you get to hang out with real Cubans – owners of the Casa. They will provide advice and guidance and breakfast is often included in price. Plus by staying at a Casa particular you would be directly supporting this Cuban family, rather than a foreign corporation that built a hotel in Cuba.
