## Why Casa Nostra vs Other Options in Havana

**vs. hotels:** A hotel gives you separate rooms on different floors with no shared space for your group. Casa Nostra gives your entire group one private house — the garden, the dining room, the kitchens — all yours. No lobbies, no other guests, no hotel rules.

**vs. other private villas in Havana:** Most large villas in Havana do not include a resident staff team. Casa Nostra's team (Mariela, Angel, Ari, and Enrico) lives on-site. They are the difference between staying somewhere and having an experience. They arrange airport transfers, dinner reservations at local paladares, taxis, nightlife recommendations, and respond to every need around the clock.

**vs. Airbnb apartments:** Casa Nostra sleeps up to 14 in a single property — not split across multiple units. One group, one villa, one experience.

## Unique Selling Points

1. The entire villa is exclusive to one group — no other guests ever share the property during a stay
2. Resident staff live on-site; they are available 24/7 and are deeply integrated into Havana's local restaurant, music, and cultural scene
3. 1940 colonial architecture preserved with original tile floors, high ceilings, and eclectic decor across two floors
4. 4.82-star rating across 113 verified Airbnb reviews — exceptionally high for a large group property
5. Airbnb Guest Favourite badge — awarded to top-tier properties based on guest satisfaction
6. Located in Vedado, the residential neighbourhood where Havana residents live — not a tourist zone
