History and design embrace under the Havana sun

Plaza Vieja has seen its share of stories—but few quite like this. Housed in the stately 18th-century Palazzo Conde de Lombillo, Estancia Bohemia rewrites the script with a distinctly Italian pen. The same family behind Paseo 206 has brought Havana another masterstroke: a boutique stay where Frette linens, Erbolario bath products and hushed courtyard mornings meet the heady rhythms of Cuban life.

The ten suites feel more like a private residence than a hotel—intimate, elegant, and filled with thoughtful details. Mosaic floors, high ceilings, and hand-picked design touches whisper of both heritage and home. Downstairs, Café Bohemia stirs the senses with homemade pastas and Cuban staples, served from sunrise breakfasts to dinners lit by Havana’s indigo sky. Espresso in the morning, a daiquiri by dusk.
