About  San Basilio

Hotel Encanto San Basilio is in Santiago de Cuba, the second largest city in Cuba. The building was originally built in the second decade of XX century and after full refurbishment was re-opened in July 2003. San Basilio stands in the privileged location, in the street that gives the name to the hotel and is recommended for budget travellers! 

Hotel San Basilio has large windows, fine blacksmith shop and double stairs and a small balcony to the centre. 8 rooms and a small restaurant are decorated with furniture and elements in correspondence with the architecture of the building. About 15 very professional workers offer the services and do their best so to satisfy the guests.

Museum of the Clandestine Struggle

The museum of the Clandestine Struggle is located Padre Pico steps up. This excellent museum, in one of the city’s finest colonial houses, focuses on the activities of the resistance movement under local martyr Frank País. Residents of Santiago were instrumental in supporting the Revolution, as were peasants in the Sierra Maestra. From the museum’s balcony, there are tremendous views of Santiago and the bay.

Tivolí

In Tivolí you’ll find the famous Padre Pico steps, named for a Santiaguero priest who aided the city’s poor. Fidel Castro once roared fire and brimstone down on the Batista government here, but today you’ll find more pacific chess and domino players who have set up all-hours tables on the steps.

Santiago de Cuba

Plaza Dolores

One of Santiago’s most delightful people-watching spots is Plaza Dolores, a shady plaza lined with colonial-era homes (several now house restaurants). Avenida José A. Saco (more commonly known as Enramada) is Santiago’s main shopping thoroughfare. Its faded 1950s neon signs and ostentatious buildings recall more prosperous times. Cobbled Calle Bartolomé Masó (also known as San Basilio), just behind Heredia and the cathedral, is a delightful street that leads down to the picturesque Tivolí district.

Santa Rita a Hospital, Santiago de Cuba

Calle Padre Pico

This is undoubtedly one of the city's most well-known streets. It offers an excellent natural viewing point and is the only stepped street in Cuba. It's part of the Tivoli neighborhood, where 18th-century French-colonial mansions sit side by side with 16th-century structures
