"ARNOLD'S CASA"
HOLGUIN, CUBA

Miriam and Arnold

Great Rooms for Rent at Guest House when you visit Holguin! Legal, fully licensed, and registered Casa Particular in Cuba.


IMPORTANT! PLEASE BE ADVISED: Arnold's Casa has new regulations. 1) We are no longer accepting reservations less than 7 days of your arrival. 2) Guests are required to stay a minimum of 3 days. If you choose to leave before that, you will be charged for 3 days.


When I first arrived at Arnold's Casa in Holguin, he and his wife Miriam told me I will feel "as though I were home with family", and by the end of that first day I realized THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

Arnold and Miriam, together with their daughters Miriam and Yemin, will go out of their way to provide you with the most wonderful and comfortable stay you can possibly imagine. The house is a huge beautiful home with 4 guest rooms, each with air conditioning, private bathroom with hot water, daily clean sheets and towels, and more.

The services available to you at Arnold's Casa are almost endless... they will wash your clothes, iron something for you at any time, go to the store for you, call transportation for you, and let you know when you get a phone call. Also, at Arnold's Casa everyone is very considerate of your privacy.

Arnold's Casa also offers meals for just a few dollars per meal, much less than you would pay by eating out. The meals are excellent - Miriam is a great cook!

Some of your most memorable moments will probably be sitting on the front porch during the evenings in rocking chairs talking with Arnold while watching all the bikes, horse and carriages, and classic cars going by on the street.

Arnold's house is located in the nicest neighborhood in the whole city, just 8 blocks or 10 minutes walk to Central Park. Central Park, if you are not familiar with Holguin, is the booming heart of town, as the park is surrounded by many shops, cafeterias, bars, dance clubs, and many other activities going on daily and around the clock.

THIS IS HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE THE RESERVATION...
Just send e-mail to cisou@hotmail.com
Tell me your full name, city, and country you live in, and the exact date you wish to arrive at Arnold's house. If possible, also tell me about how many days you plan to stay; and the flight number is also helpful.

Arnold's address:
Ingeniero Arnold Alabart-Freire
Calle Cables #18
Entre Fomento y Peralta
Reparto Peralta
Holguin, Cuba
Tel. (24) 42 44 08

NOTES: You are allowed to have a guest with you, but the person must also register as a guest by showing Arnold a passport if he or she is a foreigner, or Cuban I.D. (carnet) if he or she is Cuban. Arnold will give you keys to the the front door and to your room so that you can freely enter and leave at any time.

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW...New Casas are "popping" up all over Holguin. Each day more and more homes are converting a "room for tourists" using one of the rooms in the house. Most are "ILLEGAL CASAS". Be advised that you are possibly risking great inconveniences by staying at such a home (little or no running water, no air conditioning, power outages, unclean sheets, bathroom sharing, etc.) You will experience none of these situations at Arnold's Casa (Arnold even has a power generator for when the lights go out).


Front view of Arnold's Casa. The home is completely fenced in and surrounded by nice gardens.


Picture taken from the television set, the entrance to the Casa will give you the feeling of being in a hotel lobby.

Taken from the entrance, there are 2 guest rooms on the left and 1 on the right. The 4th guest room is on the second floor. Guests may sit and watch TV or a movie from the VCR - Arnold has a nice supply of movies on video from which to choose. Just beyond the always open door at the rear is your kitchen on the left and your dining room on the right.

Each room is beautifully set and has a radio/cassette player (radio is mostly news so I suggest you do as I did and take plenty of music on tapes). Although not shown, all the rooms also have closets and dressers with lots of space for storing clothing and other items.

A private bathroom in every room. The photo on the right is the "Cuban system" for providing continuous running hot water. Arnold will show you how it works!

The garden. With the help of an elderly gentleman that comes by the house each day, a very nice garden is kept on the sides and front of the house. (Note: this photo was taken before renovations to the house).
 
 

The neighborhood. Arnold's Casa is located on very nice streets directly across from a day care center where children are seen playing throughout the day.
