Pastoral Perfection

Vinales has a dual personality. With more rooms for rent than downtown residents, the main street caters to tourists with restaurants, nightspots and travel agents. But Finales is also blessed by nature with the conditions for growing tobacco and coffee, and with stunning vistas.

Vista Al Valley combines the best of both worlds.  It  is a short walk to town, while having the best view in the valley, including a working tobacco farm in your backyard. By the way, Osiris' smooth tasting cigars are a bargain for 2 CUC. Osiris and his wife are excellent hosts. His English is fluent. 

The 3 rooms were built for tourists. The beds are comfortable, and everything works, A great shower, a quiet toilet and plenty of outlets. Couple this with excellent food, strong drinks, and you have my definition of perfection. Reserve early.
