A jewel of a casa!! The best B&B over all de Country

Perfectly located downtown, La Pergola was much bigger and more beautiful than I anticipated. Newly renovated colonial architecture and very well kept, it was much much better than a hotel. Our room was huge, comfortable and very clean. En-suite bathroom, hot water, air conditioning and mini fridge stocked with drinks.

Carlos, Carmen and their 2 teens were most gracious hosts, I felt like part of the family. They were super friendly, warm and accommodating, very helpful in planning our activities too! The food was the best I’ve eaten in Cuba, at a very reasonable price and there was plenty of it… Carmen is a fantastic cook! You MUST try her lobster tails when you go! Dinning “al fresco” accompanied by colourful birds singing in the indoor garden, was like our own special little paradise… quiet and peaceful.

The casa is located 1 block away from Boulevard "1889", a main shopping area, and a variety of cafés and restaurants. Only 5 mins walk to the gorgeous Parque Vidal where you can really watch the city come alive. In the park there is a statue of Marta Abreu, bordering the park is the Teatro de La Caridad, the Plaza del Mercado Central, the former City Hall and the Colonia Española de Santa Clara center of dance. Che Guevara’s memorial is a nice 20 mins walk away and El Tren Blindado about 10 mins walk. The airport is 20kms away, which cost 15 CUC by taxi.

La Pergola, the ONLY place to stay when in Santa Clara, you’ll love it! Please say hello from me.

Muchas gracias para todos Carlos y Carmen!! Besos y abrazos fríos de Canadá. Fue un placer conocido.

El mejor alojamiento, perfecto hospedaje

Perfectamente situado en el centro, La Pergola era mucho más grande y más hermoso que yo esperaba. Recién renovado la arquitectura colonial y muy bien cuidada, que era mucho mejor que un hotel. Nuestra habitación era enorme, cómodo y muy limpio. Cuarto de baño, agua caliente, aire acondicionado y mini nevera surtida con bebidas.

Carlos, Carmen y su familia fueron los anfitriones muy amable, me sentía como parte de la familia. Eran super cálido, acogedor y servicial, muy útil en la planificación de nuestras actividades también! La comida era el mejor que he comido en Cuba, a un precio muy razonable y había un montón de él ... Carmen es una cocinera fantástica! Usted debe tratar a su cola de langosta cuando va! Comedor "al fresco" acompañada de coloridos pájaros cantando en el jardín interior, era como nuestro propio paraíso muy especial ... tranquila y pacífica.

La casa se encuentra a 1 cuadra del Boulevard "1889", una zona de tiendas principal, y una variedad de cafés y restaurantes. A sólo 5 minutos a pie del precioso Parque Vidal, donde realmente se puede ver la ciudad cobran vida. En el parque hay una estatua de Marta Abreu, bordeando el parque se encuentra el Teatro de La Caridad, la Plaza del Mercado Central, el antiguo ayuntamiento y de la Colonia Española de Santa Clara, centro de la danza. Memorial del Che Guevara es un buen 20 minutos a pie y El Tren Blindado unos 10 minutos a pie. El aeropuerto está a 20 km de distancia, que costó 15 CUC en taxi.

La Pergola, el único lugar para alojarse cuando en Santa Clara, le va a encantar! Por favor, saludar de mi parte.

Muchas gracias para todos Carlos y Carmen!! Besos y abrazos fríos de Canadá. Fue un placer conocido

This casa is a big recommendation

I stayed here for over a month in November 2009, and this casa is a big recommendation. It's located just one block away from Parque Vidal (the town center square) and right next to the only boulevard in town. Most notable however is the interior and architecture of the building: a colonial style Spanish house complete with patio/garden onto which all the rooms look out. There are two spacious rooms with double beds, airco, (a never empty) fridge, and private, fully renovated bathrooms.
The owners -a sympathetic couple with a teenage son and daughter- are really nice and hospitable and will go out off their way to make you feel comfortable and at home. Breakfast and dinner is served on the patio looking out over the garden. Very peaceful and something woth taking time for. Not just to relax but also because the meals were copious and the lady of the house is a damn fine cook. (If you ever happen to stay there and they ask you in the morning what you would like for dinner in the evening, just reply with: "Surprise me.") There are many 'casas particulares' in Santa Clara, but this beats all of the ones I stayed in hands down. If you're planning a stay in Santa Clara, try this place, you won't be disappointed!

Exquisite, friendly casa particular

I recommend a visit to Santa Clara, for a variety of reasons, but perhaps the best among them, for the chance to stay with Carlos & Carmen in this exquisite, friendly casa particular. Fully renovated over the past 2 years, this delightful casa offers good food, a lovely garden, the fantastic company of a variety of exotic birds, and the every-detail attention of perfect hosts.

This place is a palace among Casas

This place is a palace among Casas. I loved everything about it, the location, the rooms (18ft ceilings) the courtyard, the food, the birds and most of all Carmen and Carlos the wonderful, helpful hosts.
Why go anywhere else if the Pergola is available!

“Truly lovely Guesthouse in Santa Clara, welcoming hosts, wonderful food”

My Dad and I recently stayed at Hostal Pergola in Santa Clara. Our hosts Carmen and Carlos were so very welcoming, warm and friendly and made us feel at home immediately. The house is outstanding, in a great location about 2 blocks from the main square in town and a half block from the walking street the Boulevar. The room (and indeed, the whole house) was huge and very clean, the bathroom modern, clean and in great working order, the beds comfortable. Didn't need the air conditioner as the enormous windows allowed air throughout. Carlos and Carmen spent over a year renovating their home and it is truly a special place. The floor tile is original, the colour scheme restored, and still plenty of original decorative glasswork in the doors and windows. Meals were very generous and well prepared, and they made sure we were well fed and looked after. I would go out of my way to stay in this casa again and would recommend it to friends and family.

Increible Casa Particular en Santa Clara

Esta casa particular es increible. En efecto, hay la belleza del lugar, el desayuno es bueno, las habitaciones son grandes y se situa cerca del centro. El interior tiene un estilo colonial con un patio grande y bonito. Podemos hablar con el propietario que es muy simpatico. Aconsejo esta casa en la ciudad de Santa Clara.
