Auténtica Pérgola Hostal & Restaurant-Bar

This casa is very close to the Parque Vidal, the main square in Santa Clara. The town is quite busy but depite its proximity this casa is extremely quiet. Carlos and Carmen were very obliging hosts, arranging for a taxi to be waiting for us at the bus station and ready with a cup of coffee on arrival. The house is excellent with a lovely courtyard area where you can sit out and have your meals. Would recommend this - food is plentiful and very nice with a great choice offered. It worked out about 72 cuc per night for dinner (including wine) , bed and breakfast for two of us. Carlos is always around and would be willing to assist with just about anything. Rooms are very comfortable with best shower in Cuba. Would like to have taken this with us! Highly recommended. Apart from the Che monument, I'd recommend a visit to the Fabrica de Tabacos Costantino Perez Carrodegua (tobacco factory) where you can get a fascinating tour of the cigar factory where the workers hand roll the products

Enchanting. We were only going to stay there 2 nights (due to limited interests in Santa Clara) but stayed for 3 as it was so lovely. Great food and charming hosts. Beautiful room with a lovely private bathroom. Very quiet. The food was great whatever you want whenever you want). Loved the banana crisps and the fresh juice in the morning. Carlos was extremely helpful in arranging transport for our return to Havana as the bus was full. (which we would never have managed) Even for a stopover to visit che monument do not miss this casa- it's just lovely. Also the library in the square is definitely worth a visit (it's free) David and Pat Wallace Scotland

After spending some time in Cuba touring around the country, I can say without a doubt that Carmen and Carlos have the best Casa Particular that I have been to. From the moment we arrived, they went out of their way to make our holiday special, all while making it seem effortless. I know we were a lot of work - because we had issues with our Visa's and didn't have money for a few days. They completely trusted us and helped us through the entire frustrating process of wiring money... The rooms were clean and quiet and relaxing.... the courtyard was beautiful and Carmen and Carlos were a pleasure to meet. You can tell that they put thought into everything. Dinners were far better at their casa than at the local restaurants and for a much more reasonable pricewith lovely atmosphere (candles and music). They even brought us to the airport together on our last day to see us off with hugs and kisses and I feel like we've made dear friends.Highly recommended. It completely made ou

Hostal Auténtica Pérgola, Santa Clara is like coming to paradise after a long 10 day trip around Cuba with lack of street signs and lots of goats and cows on the roads.After 10 days of unfamiliar experiences Santa Clara is a wonderful city with attractions and this wonderful place to stay. 2 large rooms with aircondition, large open patio, wonderful atmosphere, very nice hosts all located 2 minutes walking distance away from the central plaza. The hostal is very quiet !adress: # 61 Luis Estevez (between Independencia and Marti. DK-traveller_68 Copenhagen, Denmark

It was very good. Nice people, clean and in the center of St Clara. We only stayed for one night. We had a good breakfast,our dinner was in the so called best restaurant from St Clara. I forgot the name, it was in a small street, we asked Carlos to bring us there. It was really terrible, don't go there and eat at Carlos and Carmen!!! Other services they offer: Carlos drove with my husband to a garage because we had to change oil. Very friendly!! Bernadette van de Ven Holland
