City Info
Villa Clara

Villa Clara Province is located in the center of Cuba, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. The sprawling Archipelago Jardines del Rey – with its 2500 islets and keys – is strung along the coast here.

Three ‘cayos’ (keys) in particular make superb beach vacation destinations: Las Brujas, Ensenachos and Santa María. The breathtaking beaches of these cayos, along with the variety of maritime diversions on offer including scuba diving, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing, are the main draws here. The cayos are connected to the Cuban mainland (at Caibarién) by a causeway built to provide access to these paradisiacal islets.

Santa Clara is the provincial capital and makes a worthwhile stop en route to the cayos and beaches to the north. It’s where Che Guevara led rebels in the Cuban Revolution’s decisive victory, leading to the construction of the impressive monument to and mausoleum of the celebrated guerilla.

Santa Clara also has four universities and unique cultural centers, contributing to a stimulating, urbane atmosphere – kick back on a park bench in the city’s Parque Vidal to get a taste. Santa Clara is also home to the "Naranjas", the provincial baseball team.

Remedios, one of Cuba’s oldest cities; is an archetypical colonial town and a picturesque stop on the way to the cayos.

In addition to tourism, important facets of the province’s economy include sugar (Villa Clara is Cuba’s second largest sugar producing area) and other crops, particularly tobacco.

Hostal Colibri Azul Villa Clara - Santa Clara

8 Sleeps
3 Bedrooms
3 Bathrooms
Minimum stay 1 Night

In the heart of Santa Clara, two blocks from Parque Vidal, is HOSTAL COLIBRI AZUL, a quintessential colonial structure dating from 1921, which—after a year of pains-taking restoration—has returned to its original splendor, offering guests a welcoming and contemporary ambience that maintains all the charm of a Cuban country home. The ample, double living room is characterized by original 1920’s mosaic-tile floors and tall columns, which support the high, wood-beamed ceiling designed to maintain cool even during hot Cuban summers. Furnished with antiques side-by-side with the artwork of young Santa Clara artists, it leads onto the central courtyard, a delightful and discreet garden in the center of the city, lush with plants and tropical flowers, and home to a charming couple of zunzun (a native species of hummingbird), who flit from flower to flower in search of nectar. In the peace of the garden our guests can enjoy delicious breakfasts and romantic dinners, or simply relax with exquisite rums, cigars and herbal infusions. Each guest room opens onto this luxurious garden and provides every comfort necessary (private bathroom, central air conditioning, minibar, pure cotton luxury linens made in Italy) to pamper our guests in total relaxation after a day of sightseeing. We can accomodate small appliances of 110 and 220 volts. Hairdryer and iron are available upon request.
