Ernest Hemingway House, also known as the Finca Vigia, is a historic house in Havana, Cuba that was once the residence of American author Ernest Hemingway. The house was purchased by Hemingway in 1940 and he lived there until 1960. During his time in Havana, Hemingway became a local celebrity and wrote some of his most famous works, including "The Old Man and the Sea."

The house is a two-story, white stucco building with red clay tile roof and sits on a hilltop with stunning views of Havana Bay. The interior of the house has been preserved to look much like it did when Hemingway lived there and includes many of his personal belongings, such as hunting trophies and manuscripts. Visitors can tour the house and see Hemingway's writing studio, living room, dining room, and bedrooms.

The Hemingway House is now a museum dedicated to the author and his life in Havana and is a popular tourist destination for fans of Hemingway's work and for those interested in learning about his time in Cuba. The museum is open to the public and guided tours are available in several languages.
