  WOW....what a place is all we could say. Beautiful accommodations. The rooms were very spacious. The pool is very nice with the breeze coming off the ocean what more could you ask. We had a staff there to take care of our every need. The food was delicious and to top it off we had a pig roast our last night there. Fabulous!!! The staff were very warm and friendly to us all and we made quite a few friends. We also made some pet friends too. "Bella and Leo" a nice added touch to our stay. They hung with us there on the grounds. We had a group of 16 people who enjoyed their time in doing whatever. We are all going to plan on going back next year.

  We've just returned from another fantastic week at Castellamonte and wanted to express our appreciation to the amazing staff at the Villa. We stayed last year as part of a family reunion and loved it so much that we immediately booked a week with our friends. Everyone had a great time - they loved the Villa, the food, the pool, the beaches, but most importantly the staff. Felicita, Freddy, Felix, Edison and Gabrielle are simply the best. They make everyone feel welcome and part of their family. As we write this we are currently plotting a way for us to return again next year. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation. We hope to see you all again very soon.

  Felicita, Jason, I am just writing you these few words to express my gratitude toward the amazing vacation that my friends as well as I had at villa Castellamonte. Even if the villa was over my expectations once we arrived in Cabrera, the best souvenir that I keep from my experience is the service that you provided. Freddie, Gabriel, Elvis and Felix were simply THE BEST. I have never experienced service at this level and let just say that I am well travelled. And what can I say about Felicita, you are a happy, funny TRUE person, and you do not leave anyone indifferent…you make a statement! Thank you very much, our vacation was a complete success.

  Guests do not feel as if they are staying at a hotel. Villa Castellamonte becomes your home. I had to pinch myself every now and then to make sure that the experience was real and not the most fantastic dream. There is no place on earth that can compare to the beauty and splendor of this Villa. My hat is off to the design team and to the staff who operate the Villa and care for the guests. Yes - the staff really cares for you.

  This super deluxe exclusive villa is like staying at one's own private Ritz Carlton. Each room is like a piece of art and takes the visitor to another dimension of time and existence. The staff is excellent and on top of every need, even before one knows one has a need. The food is excellent and the chef is innovative and passionate which leads to a wonderful and very tasty experience. This place is unique and a Dominican gem.

  We spent a week there with family celebrating my dad's 75th Birthday. We had 19 family members ranging in ages 6-75 and everyone had an amazing time. The staff at the Villa made the whole week delightful and memorable. Felicita was incredibly helpful in arranging activities and making sure everything ran smoothly. She even took time out of her busy day to give some of us a personal tour of the area. Marcel, Felix and Elvis were amazing hosts. They were very helpful in getting us whatever we needed at any time. We've stayed at many 5 star resorts around the world and have never received the attention and care that these fine people provided. We would go back in a minute just to visit our new friends. We miss them already! The Villa is incredibly beautiful, but also comfortable and welcoming. With a gorgeous pool, beach and game room - we were never short on activities. I highly recommend the beach bonfire- it came with a bar and music! I read that location was a concern for some- that it was far from an airport. (11/2 - 2 hours away) While that is true, the fact that it is in an undeveloped area leads to the real charm of the Villa. The beaches there are rated in the top ten beaches of the world by Conde Nast and I would highly agree with them. It wan an incredible week and we are already planning our return visit!

  I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Castellamonte in April of 2010. The Villa was absolutely beautiful.It was very clean and the staff was tentative and polite. The food was excellent and the rooms were tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable, the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. There was always something to do at the villa such as play pool, swim,get a great massage or just float in the pool and hear the ocean. We loved everthing about the Villa, the only thing we didn't like was leaving. We can't wait to go back. Loved it so much I would rate it a 10! I would recommend it to everyone and it's also a perfect place for a beautiful wedding.

  I am a photographer and videographer in South Florida. My travels have taken me throughout Europe, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, and the United States. Never have I felt more "home away from home" than I did during my recent stay at Villa Castellamonte. The architecture and furnishings of the villa are so impressive, you will feel as if you have been swept away to a romantic rendezvous with a member of royalty. The amazing entryway leads to spacious living rooms, luxurious bedroom suites, and elegant dining areas. And the food was simply delectable! There were so many amenities, I did not have time to enjoy them all – billiard and poker tables, games, videos, swimming pool, jacuzzi, massage and spa treatments. Meanwhile, the Wifi wireless access and Skype phone privileges allowed me to (briefly) connect with the outside world before escaping reality again. From the breathtaking view of the ocean waves (and yes, whales!), to the hospitable and humorous staff, each day spent at Villa Castellamonte was relaxing and rejuvenating. And when it came time to actually take photos and shoot video, I had my choice of many beautiful beach backdrops and intriguing interiors. Our host was particularly helpful, making sure our every whim was taken care of while displaying a great combination of warmth, wit, and patience. Our party certainly felt like celebrities during our stay at Villa Castellamonte, and I recommend it to anyone seeking a paradise retreat with all the comforts of home.

  I had an amazing time at Villa Castellamonte, it truely is a "Castle by the Sea". Opulent surroundings with a laid back at atmosphere, what more could you ask for? The entire staff was awesome and went out of their way to be accommodating. The food and service were excellent. It was a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience for me. Last but not least were the two great danes, I loved the dogs!!!

  Villa Castellamonte is nothing short of experiencing heaven on earth. I have traveled the world and have been to many beautiful places but this place is by far the best I've experienced yet. The house is beautiful, and the staff is fantastic and very personable! It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy life to the fullest. It is a place where time doesn't exist and reality is far beyond your wildest dreams! If I could live there I would!

  Villa Castellamonte is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It has a breathtakingly lovely view of the ocean and perfect landscaping. We were doing photoshoots there and the backgrounds were spectacular! We took thousands of photos and never ran out of unique beautiful backgrounds. The pool is kept very clean and the Hot tub is amazing. There are guards at the front gate so you always feel safe. The staff and owner could not have been sweeter or more helpful. They do everything to make sure you trip is awesome - and you're enjoying your stay. This is definently an experience of a lifetime!

  The villa was better then any other 5 star hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff was very good always going out of their way to make sure we were having fun. This villa is very well designed, I would recommend this home to all my friends. There is something about this place that will make you think you are Royalty the way everybody is being taken care of. If you want to be in paradise this is where you want to go if you want to just relax. The view alone is just awsome. If your a photographer this is the place to go there is not a bad back drop in the whole villa.

The staff is so helpful and friendly that you really enjoy being with them. I can't think of a better place to spend a week, or if your lucky, even longer.

  This was our 4th time back to the Villa, and the 2nd time as a party of 19 (the family keeps growing and the Villa keeps accomodating). We had an amazing time once againn, each year the food improves, the staff are outstanding and in our opinion even with 19 people we see no reason to leave the proerty during our stay. We did go four-wheeling for an afternoon which was beautiful. (although the machines could use a little maintenance, and are not a part of the Villa). there is plenty of room in the house to "get away" if need be, the pool and hot tub are the focal point and there is never a shortage of excellent food or frozen concotions (both with and without alcohol). If you are planning a family reunion, or a family get away with all the features of a large resort, without the crowds and other people invading your privacy, you will find no better place!!

  We travel with 13 very close friends and family to celebrate 2 Birthdays and an Anniversary. We had an amazing time. The house is beyond belief. Everything is perfectly attended to. The staff is even better. We very much enjoyed having the entire staff interact closely with our group. Getting to know them was such great fun. The two Great Danes were like family. They made the Villa seem like "home away from home." I would highly recommend visiting Castellamonte.

We chose Villa Castellamonte for my sister in laws 40th birthday. 10 women traveled from NY to leave it all behind for a girls getaway. The Villa was magnificent, the food was excellent and the staff was phenomenal. The staff was so accommodating taking care of all our requests with a smile. I definitely will be back and highly recommend renting the Villa Castellamonte for a fantastic vacation.

  Our group, consisting of babies to seniors, had the most splendid time while at Castellamonte. The house was gorgeous, kept very well & staffed by the friendliest & most earnest persons. The weather could not have been better. The infinity pool was perfect for the children as it was easy for them to play at the pool's edge. Water volley ball games were fun for everyone. Tennis, golf, & water activities were favorites. Our chef honored our meal requests with such talent & flair, that we had no desire to visit any restaurants. Food was always fresh and attractively presented. There were staff available to meet our every need; usually anticipated our needs, and always with a friendly smile. Local reliable babysitting was abundant. Our visit was relaxing, laid back, and totally enjoyable as we enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. We look forward to our next visit to Castellamonte.

  Our group of 6 couples rented Villa Castellamonte in the winter of 2007. The home is truly spectacular. Each and every bedroom was well appointed and comfortable. The staff was attentive and courteous. The quality of the food was very good and the kitchen staff responded well to our menu requests. The setting was quite spectacular with the views from the cliff. The very private beach and ocean was a simple 50 yd walk down a path. I would highly recommend the villa and staff. My only reservations in recommending this property would be for a group looking for a lot of activity off site. The towns close to the villa are small and don't offer much more than simple meals. No real nightlife for shopping. However, if you are looking for a villa in which to relax for a week, you won't go wrong with castellamonte.

  I have rented villas many times before in the Caribbean, and this one by far was the best experience. The villa is spectacular, the staff first rate, and the food was wonderful. We had a large party with diverse requests, and the staff did an outstanding job making sure we all had a terrific time. This villa is particularly good for large parties. We had 14 people in our party, and there was plenty of room and things to do for everyone. The kids (and adults) loved the pool, and the game room was enjoyed by all. I was the person who booked the vacation, and the management company who oversees the villa made planning our trip very easy. We strongly recommend this villa, and plan on returning in our future.
