Beautiful House near the Beach with Pool
Review Submitted: January 14, 2011
Date of Stay: December 2010
In the beginning we have eben afraid of booking a house over the Internet, but everything worked super.Paul,the Taxi Driver pickes us up from the AirPort with a van enough Space for 8 People and suitcases.It is a Long drive,about 3,5 Hors, and the last Hour you only drive 17 km over a Hill Street,but the streets are in such a Bad condition that you can only drive very slowly.I think that is the reason why in las terrenas is Not so much Tourist,only individuell,because for man Tourist These streets are nothing.they Jus Prüfer a 20 minutes Ride to a five Star Getto.If you go on th stop of the Hill Street you have a wonderful View over the semana bay. When we arrived in Villa Chinola Isabelle,the Manager and Stephanie the cool were waiting for us.
Isabelle took care about us the whole time, she helped organizing tours Motor bicyclettes etc because the People only speak french and spanish there.
Stephanie the cool is a very nice woman,she makes the cleaning of the House everything day except sunday.
Most of the time we stayed in the house and had dinner and Lunch there and I found the Fee of the Cook with 140 € per Week not much,because if you go for dinner with 8 people you Need more than 100. €, it is Not so cheap. Ten minutes away from Villa Chinola the fishermen meet every Day till 13.00 and you can get exzellent fresh fish, langoustes, oysters etc for good money.You also find a BBQ in the house, where you can grill all these things.
If you want to go for good Dinner I can recommend the indigo,directly on the beach and the el corazon, 10Min drive per Taxi from the Villa.The el corazon is Leader by a Swiss and a german and its Not cheap but really exzellent cuisine and beautiful Location in a City House.
The more we stayed in las terrenas the more we loved it its like Inn Bali 20 Years ago,you go by motorcycle some times Three of us (the Dom Rep. People drive with Five People...) to the town,you go Shopping in the supermarket which has Not so much things,but its ok,you IND good Wines also there.
On the streets you can buy all fruits like pineapple,chinola,oranges,bananay,papaya etc. Just opposite of the boulangerie you can find a frech guy,who sells very good rum and cigars. In Case you Need a doctor go to Dr.Miguel Polanco,He is good and Not so expenisve and Inn Case you Need a Hospital he tells you where to go.
So those who Love individual holidays in an original village you wil Love Villa Chinola and las terrenas.
