La Casa Cubanita
Built in 1924, this historical home was part of the company town founded in 1916 by Milton Hershey, American chocolatier and businessman. Hershey town was renamed after the Cuban Revolution, Central Camilo Cienfuegos. Its sugar mill, the biggest in South and Central America, was closed in 2002. With great knowledge on the area, the owner Anita, is more than happy to give you more details on this unique town in Cuba.
La casa, warmly decorated with antiques and carpenter work, is a family home with 3 comfortable bedrooms.
