Cuba Libre

Cuba Libre: Florida

We think the host of this stylish apartment may have looked to nearby Little Havana for some influence when it came to decorating. Whether it's the retro wall-art or palm-print cushions, we appreciate these little nods to Miami's Cuban population and recommend you pay your own homage by mixing up a rum cocktail and sipping it out on the sun-kissed private balcony, complete with a calming, green view. This home definitely has a laid-back ambience, which stands in stark contrast to the non-stop thrills that can be found outside its walls. If the apartment's foliage motifs have given you a taste for the real thing, head to the nearby Gifford Arboretum or go for a swim in Coral Gables' stunning 1920s Venetian Pool. Just under a ten-minute drive away, you'll find Coconut Grove with its relaxed cafes, gourmet restaurants and picturesque marina, and in the other direction, there's the Latin neighbourhood that played such a pivotal role in this home's stylings.
