For Hemingway fans, this is a must see. His house was amazing, filled with his animal mounts to his 9000 book collection. Don't forget to check out the stack of books next to his toilet, and the notes of his weight next to the scale. The grounds are beautiful, and the view from his writing tower is astounding. Great souvenirs,... More

The finca is well preserved. Although you have to view it through windows it does allow very good views and the rooms have great detail. The boat Pilar is nearby. Can be crowded with tourists so a little patience may be needed. More

You will feel that Ernest might walk in at any minute...this isn't a long stop...but a great one...all of his possessions are right there for the viewing...with even his little doggies buried right next to his famous boat...I felt we stepped back in time. More

A visit to this museum is a must if you are in the area. The house has been preserved and feels as if Hemingway has popped out to El Floridita for a daiquiri. It is a shame but understandable that the house could only be viewed by looking in the windows and ope doors. On humid days the doors are... More

Hemmingway bought the sprawling estate from a French family in the 1930's for $18,000, and he was considered the king of the surrounding poor neighborhood in Guanabacoa. A... More

A very popular attraction. However due to theft in the past you can only view the inside of the house from the garden looking in through the windows. It has good ambience of the era and does give a good idea of the man . Excellent views from the tower and terrace. More

another icon of Cuba, beautifully restored and a work in progress More

Wow. When I saw the Heminway Finca Vigia museum on our itinerary, I thought, "oh, Hemingway, well hopefully it's interesting." It was outstanding! Located on a hill in Havana, it boasts amazing views of the city as well as insights into the writer's life. It has been left just as it was when he killed himself. Now, as a museum,... More

Extremely well maintained home and grounds, as if Ernest was still living there- his magazines, books and alcohol decorate the house. Guests are not permitted inside the house but look through the many doorways and windows. Photos permitted. The home is decorated for a man who loved life, adventure and the outdoors. His fishing boat, Pilar and the pool site... More
