We have had a stay very pleasant and very relaxing
This lovely convent guest house has everything going for it! Brilliantly located, in the centre of the bustling Old Havana, within walking distance of the beach and the majority of Havana's tourist attractions, newly updated guest rooms, and managed by the most efficient and welcoming community of nuns that any jaded traveler could ever hope to meet, the guesthouse is a peaceful, happy, safe, reasonably priced and friendly home away from home.
The building was established in the early eighteenth century, as the palatial home of Spanish Count, Don Lorenzo Ruiz de Alarcon y Montalvo Montalvo (1704-1778). In recent times the structure has undergone an extensive restoration. The inauguration of the new building was attended by President Fidel Castro. The body of Count Don Lorenzo lies in the Havana Cathedral.
The modernised guest rooms and comfortable public areas, have enabled the sisters to welcome overnight visitors, the proceeds of which supports the order's various charitable works in Cuba, and allows for the allocation of goods or funds to where the current need is greatest.
The sister's weekly 'Grandparent's Lunch' for local grannies and grandads is a customary tradition.
