Cayo Jutias, Minas de Matahambre hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful place in paradise. Right in the middle of the Viñales countryside. The rooms are huge with very tasteful and natural decor, incredibly clean, with a money box in the room, and a nice hot shower. The site is very quiet and peaceful and has a great restaurant area that is great for sundown. The chef cooks an amazing breakfast and dinner, enough food to feed about 10 people at a great price. She was also very kind and patient with my non existent Spanish. The owner and his son run the place and are really helpful and interesting to chat to. They’ll recommend and organise activities in the area such as tours, horse riding, walking and salsa lessons. They also have a place in town if you prefer being near the restaurants and other stuff but I preferred it here. Only 5km to the town which you can walk or get a taxi easily. Would recommended taking at least 3 nights, I wish I could’ve stayed longer! "
