This is a superb opportunity to stay at a 4 Star villa at an affordable rate. The property is greatly maintained and very comfortable and spacious. Their beaches are beautiful and accessible to all within minutes; other activities readily available are golfing, horseback riding, shooting range, sailing, snorkeling, polo, and the experience of viewing top tier music bands at the amphitheater in Altos de Chavon amongst many other activities The owner understands what your needs are and will go out of his way to ensure this experience exceeds your expectations. I have been to many vacation resorts, but by far this one tops them all. Do not miss out on this outstanding opportunity. I guarantee you will have the best time of your life here at Johnny's villa and at Casa de Campo.

Owner response:Thank you so much, we are glad that you all spent a wonderful vacation in our villa. Casa de Campo is a paradise place and our villa is a paradise place to stay.

Our third year in a row for our Feb golf vacation at this marvelous villa. Bienela and Oscar take care of everything. Beautifully appointed villa, plenty of space to be together or have private time. Meals are wonderful, especially the churrasco and fish/lobster dinners under the stars. We are already looking forward to next year.

Owner response:Always a pleasure to have you at our villa, next year we will have more delicious meals to offer as Bianela is taking cooking classes and is improving her recipes book.

Thank you so much...my family had such a relaxing week at your Villa. Oscar & Bianela were wonderful to work with. My youngest at 18 months woke up every morning & walked into the kitchen looking for them both. The owners helped us in so many ways and I can't thank them enough. They helped us get gluten free food to the villa prior to our arrival because my son has an allergy, rescheduled our trip because mother nature wasn't cooperating with our plans, and provided a crib for my baby. We are now addicted to Oscar's margarita's at pool side. We can't wait for our next trip to Casa de Campo!

Owner response:I am very happy that you all had a good vacation in our villa, specially after all those snow storms and cold weather in New York. You are very nice and a shame I couldn't go to meet you. Next time I will. You are right, Bianela and Oscar are so sweet, always with a smile and happy to please everybody. My grandson loves them much too. We will be very happy to have you as guests in the near future.

We just returned from a wonderful family vacation at this villa! First of all, Isabel, the owner of the villa was extremely helpful and endlessly patient with all my questions! Upon arrival at the villa, Oscar and Bianela were so warm and welcoming that we felt as though we had gone to stay at a friend's house! As soon as I walked into the house, I called it "Bella Casa" because it was so pretty, yet it had a warm, lived-in feel that made all of us feel as if it were our own house and we could just drop our bags and relax! The food was so delicious and beautifully presented that we decided to eat all our meals at the house except for a couple of lunches. Whenever we returned to the villa, Oscar and Bianela were there catering to our every need from making a pot of tea in the afternoon to going out to buy medicine for one of us who had a sore throat. They really do want to make you happy in every way! It was truly the most stress-free vacation we've ever had! As I write this review, I wish we were back at "Bella Casa" getting pampered by Oscar and Bianela!

Owner response:Great, as spanish speaking say: "mi casa es tu casa" (my home is your home), it is so nice to know that you felt as home. I am sending you today the corn souffle recipe Bianela cooked. She is so happy you liked it. Always welcome to "Bella Casa".

We just spent a week in this lovely villa with our two mid-20's children and their spouse and significant other. What a delightful time we had! As other reviewers have noted, Oscar and Bianela went out of their way to make us happy and comfortable throughout our stay. They cooked virtual feasts for us on several of our nights there, plus delicious hearty breakfasts and refreshing afternoon margaritas on a daily basis. Oscar's English is quite good, so he easily took care of questions or requests that we had along the way. (The villa owner was also extremely gracious about answering numerous pre-trip questions and helping with reservations prior to our arrival.) The villa itself is very attractive, comfortable and well-maintained, with numerous inviting seating areas both inside and outside for lounging and dining. We especially enjoyed this variety of places to relax and dine, so we never felt confined or bored with our surroundings. Anyone who wanted to get away from the group to read or nap could always find an appealing spot without shutting themselves into a bedroom. Our kids declared it the best vacation they had ever had, largely due to the villa and staff. We would all highly recommend it to others.

Owner response:Thank you so much for this compliment, that is exactly how we want our guests to feel. Oscar and Bianela are so great employees and we all together make a good team. Hope to meet you next time and share a cup of coffee.

Very Special

I say very special because our family has been vacationing at CDC for 12 years and we found this to be the most enjoyable stay to date. The main reason we originally chose the home was after reading the many rave reviews about Oscar and Bianela. It is a fact that that the quality and demeanor of the household staff will have a major impact on your stay. We love the Dominican people and Oscar and Bianela are examples of the best CDC has to offer. We have children age 10,11 and 13 and within minutes of getting out of the van and making introductions we knew this was going to be a great Villa to stay in, the well prepared meals, the attention to detail, they were the perfect hosts. We look forward to visiting again this year!

I have just returned from our annual May golf trip to Casa de Campo and I want to thank you fro having just a wonderful house. Its location was perfect, the staff, Bianela and Oskar were the most gracious, professional and helpful staff we have experienced. All the food was excellent and extremely well prepared. Two of the highlights of the week was the lobster and red snapper dinner cooked and served to 12 of us under the sky followed two nights later by a Churrasco meal again under the night sky. The rooms are large and all well appointed. We are all looking forward to our stay next year. Thank you!

Owner response:I am so glad you all spent a wonderful time at the villa, that is the idea, to make your vacation one of the best!!! Thanks for you compliments, we appreciate it.

We just returned from VILLA 95993. The Villa is better than the pictures. The staff, Oscar and Bianela, were a pleasure. We really enjoyed our time there and felt very much at home. We highly recommended. Honestly, trust me!!!! Even if you are not a golfer you will love it.... Altos de Chavon is a must see.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your nice compliments. We were very happy to have you at our villa and talked to you by phone. Next time you come I promise I will visit you personally.
