Your family hideaway at a walking distance from the beach and village - Villa Riviera

We booked for two weeks over Christmas. Actually one of the few places we've been where the reality was even better than the pictures. The house is just as advertised. Small, but ideal for two to four guests. The only drawback - it's sparsely furnished and equipped. There's no cable TV, no chaise lounges, no BBQ, no bedside tables or lamps and only the most basic of cooking utensils.

Our first week was truly the best of times. Las Terrenas is a fun place to visit. Restaurants are plentiful, varied, cover all price points and provide excellent meals. Grocery stores are convenient and surprisingly well stocked. Likewise, the beaches are exceptional and provide something for everyone from untouched seclusion to beachside bars and restaurants. All within easy walking distance of the villa.

Our second week, however, has been the week from Hell. It began with the onslaught of the Spanish Armada. The villas at Plasiflora are semi-detached houses. Two villas share a common wall and roof. There are 26 identical villas. This unit shares space with "Villa Maracuja" which is also a rental.

The Spanish fleet arrived late on Christmas Eve - all 12 of them including 4 children and a robust sense of entitlement. We're here and that's all that matters.

Since then it's been a constant door crashing, furniture moving, adults yelling, children screaming and crying plethora of sound. If you put your ear close to the screen I'm sure you'll be able to hear them now.

The moral of the story - if you're looking for a quiet place to stay, this may or may not be the place depending on who is next door. As for us. we wouldn't recommend this place because of that uncertainty.

If memory serves, the first Spanish Armada was eventually blown away. Maybe history will repeat itself.

The house was at an ideal location- just minutes from the beach (literally 2 minutes away on foot), a variety of restaurants, and various places to shop for souvenirs or groceries. The beaches around the house were absolutely beautiful- white sand beaches with clear waters. The house itself was well kept, modern, and comfortable, just as described. When we got there it was clean & it had everything you would ever need for a weeks stay- towels, extra sheets, pots/pan, dishes, and even a clothes washer. Overall I enjoyed the stay and I would highly recommend staying here.

We visted the waterfall and the national park through tour services. There's a tour place, Flora Tours, just up the street- they were great and the price was fair.

Encore merci à Monsieur Grégory fort et son épouse de nous avoir permis de passer de magnifiques vacances dans leur villa à Las Terrenas . La Villa Riviera est très bien situé près du village de la plage et loin du bruit elle est vraiment très agréable à vivre et très bien entretenu le bonheur des vacances parfaites 😀�👍�

We spent wonderful 9 days in Gregory's house. It is as shown on the photoes, wonderful view from the main terrace to the garden, very quiet location but very close to the beach and the center of Las terrenas. you don't need a car to move around, it is a very good exercise to walk. Gregory was extremely supportive, very attentive, met us even after our delayed arrival, during our stay we ran out of gas and he responded immediately and ensured our stay had no technical interruptions. Very nice and forthcoming person, the two families (with 11 and 15 year old children) were very pleased and happy. I would absolutely recommend this house to others and especially for the price you pay - you get a very nice option!! one thing to keep in mind, due to the water pressure, taking a shower simultaneously in the first floor bathroom and the second floor bathroom - is not a good idea as the hot water (depending on the gas) does not go up in that case and unless you mind a cold shower - better take turns.

Nous avons été accueillis par Mr FORT, excellent accueil il nous a donné tous les renseignements nécessaire (restaurants, ballades, randonnées) pour passer

un agréable séjour. La villa et le jardin sont très propres (jardinier et femme de

ménage entretiennent l'ensemble) Enfin villa très bien située plage, centre ville

à pied.
