This is by far the most beautiful home we have stayed in, in part because of the kindness and competence of the Esparanza, Fidel and the house staff. Esparanza and Yareli's cooking was outstanding; just an incredible treat and so fabulous not to have to cook.
From relaxing in the pool after a walk down to the Malecon to the beautifully decorated rooms to the many special spaces to reflect or enjoy the stunning view and sunsets or the many birds and dragon flies enjoying the flowering trees, we could not have been happier. Our kids are 16, 20 and 24 and each could have their own space, which was a huge positive.
The walk into town is a very steep descent and there are also many steps to get up to the house if you don't have your own car (to drive up the steep driveway to the house) so the more fit you are, the better. We loved walking into town and feeling immersed in the teeming diversity of the city; among the home's assets is it is not in a resort-style, manicured environment. The cacophony of birds, insects, dogs, salsa music and more is part of what we love. Yet with air conditioning in the bedrooms, it was quiet and we slept comfortably.
The beautiful marble floors and stone staircase in the home are lovely and ideal for maybe ages 5 or 6 and up but would feel treacherous with toddlers.
We are grateful for the opportunity to stay at Casa Lorenzo and hope to come again some time.
