Villa holiday rentals in Villa Riva

Our stay at Villa Retiro was nothing short of magnificent. The house is as special and beautiful as Las Terrenas itself. The location was absolutely perfect for the relaxing vacation we intended. We visited a lot of beaches and our favorite was the one closest to the Villa. The community is safe and serene with security monitoring the area throughout the day. The house was spotless and with an additional fee, the housekeeper Securinda was there daily to cook us incredible meals. I would highly recommend paying for Securina's delicious cooking because there are few walkable restaurants. However there's also a super simple food delivery app and we rented an ATV which is a must to get to beaches or restaurants that are slightly further. It's also important to note how incredible the hosts were. Sabrina's response time was almost immediate and she went above and beyond with sharing recommendations, tips, etc. She spoiled us! We can't wait to come back to the hidden gem of Las Terrenas!

We loved this home! Olimpia was super helpful accommodating our early arrival and provided several local recommendations. The home was very clean and extremely close to the beach. 10/10 experience would recommend

This place makes a fantastic base in Cabarete. The private pool is amazing and they've done a beautiful job with the aesthetic. The beds are very comfortable too! It was a wonderful place to stay with my small family. They even provided a pack and play for my baby. Overall, I'd book again in a heartbeat and recommend this stay to others. A couple things I will mention are that the kitchen is beautiful, but there are hardly any things to cook with, and the dishes aren't what you'd expect from a place like this. Also, we had some issues with both showers not draining very well. Even with these minor issues, I'd still highly recommend staying here, and hopefully some of these things are addressed for future guests.

A stunning home nestled in the mountains of Bonao. I can still hear the river, such a relaxing sound you can feel throughout the house. The staff was excellent and our host Steffany was exceptional. Highly recommend this property. Ideal setup to receive families, reunions and gatherings. A peaceful stay we will treasure for many reasons.

The accommodation is excellent, Gabriel's attention is 1A, he kept in touch with me all the time, from before my arrival until after we left. Everything looks better than in the photos, it's an excellent place to disconnect. My family and I didn't want to leave.

We were a group of 8. This was by far the most wonderful vacation we have had. We will definitely return later this year for another time of recreation in the truest sense of the word.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning villa, and it exceeded all my expectations. Here’s why I highly recommend it: 1. Prime Location: The villa is perfectly situated in a serene yet accessible area, making it ideal for relaxation while still being close to major attractions. Whether you’re looking to explore the surroundings or unwind, the location is just right. 2. Modern Design and High Standards: The villa’s design is a masterpiece of modern elegance. Every corner reflects thoughtfulness and style, with a perfect balance of luxury and comfort. The amenities provided were of the highest quality, enhancing the overall experience. 3. Exceptional Hospitality: The host and staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. From prompt responses to personalized touches, their warmth and professionalism were truly remarkable. 4. Delicious Food: The meals served were nothing short of spectacular. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully pres

Amazing stay at Villa Essence. Loved the location. Literally located at the best beach. The ambiance of the place is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

The pictures do not do the place justice! We had a large group of 12 adults staying and we all enjoyed every bit of the airbnb! Leo and Francini (the property manager) helped make our experience a 5-star experience. They were able to connect us to an incredible chef, a fantastic tour operator, and lovely housekeepers who not only made it easy for us to enjoy our time but helped customize our trip to fit in all the excursions we wanted and the staggered arrivals. Highly recommend if you're looking to explore Las Terrenas or relax on the property or the beach!

Me and my family loved this villa. The walk to the beach is within a few minutes. Literally feels like you have a private beach. We were welcomed by the cleaning lady. She was great! The villa is super safe and easy to get around. I would definitely recommend to stay here. The only thing one of my guest didn’t like was that the cleaning lady came at 9am to clean on check out day. I understand it’s a big villa and she had to get it ready for the next booking. Overall a great place. Thank you for having us! If you are driving be careful pulling into the curvy driveway :) also keep in mind most restaurants, places to eat are 10-20min drive from the villa

Thank you for having us! Thank you for being responsive and a great host. Loved your place and will recommend anyone to stay.

The house is beautiful as described. My family and I had a great time! One of the most beautiful beaches in Terrenas a few minutes away. Plenty of room to make a good chorus! This is a locality that I would love to come back soon♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Just wow! Betty was an amazing host. She answered questions before I thought of them. The staff, Yenni and Yaison, were just awesome individuals and helpful at any and every turn. Betty offers a personal chef and our only regret is that we only utilized him and his sous chef for two full days. I highly recommend hiring the chef for your whole stay. He and his sous chef made some of the most delicious food for us (lobster, mahi mahi, chicken, avocado salads, and so much more). The cost is very reasonable as well. Regarding the place, I can’t put into words how perfect it is. The house is big, beautiful, clean and just flat out amazing. The pool is great, the numerous loungers to relax and get sun, the private beach bar, the large outdoor table and then there’s the beach! Crystal clear water, several sandbars to relax on and a next door beach where lots of great folks gather for fun and music. I really can’t put into words how amazing our trip was. Thank you so much everyone!

The views are definitely the selling point of the villa! Absolutely incredible. Very peaceful as well. Ramon and Albania were very responsive, eg hot water issues and general help and cleaning. Nice refreshing pool. Helpful to know electricity was about 2500 pesos for sat night to Weds am. Floating breakfast was $50. All good!

This place is an absolute dream and can’t wait to go back! Orquídea and delphine were so helpful and the food was delicious.

We spent two wonderful weeks at Casa Pauli. The house is grand, tasteful and spotless. The 1km walk to the spectacular beach was a daily treat (really) with beautiful landscaping throughout Residence Esperanza (and other breathtaking properties to gawk at). We loved Chef Luis’ delicious dinners (cheaper than eating out!). This is a tastefully decorated and expansive Villa, with lots of comfortable spots to sit, relax and enjoy the view. We all loved our stay. And, we took a particular shine to Nanci, our very hard-working, diligent and charming caretaker. Nanci made our holiday extra special. We hope to return. Thanks to all.

This place was amazing everything was perfect super clean a very beautiful peaceful super convenient close to all locations you can literally walk to the beach if you wanted the interior of the house was absolutely gorgeous very clean and lots of space I been to a lot of air bnbs and by far this was my favorite one and I will be coming back in the near future Valerie is a such a nice woman super accommodating anything that we needed she was there and even if we didn’t need anything she checked on us to make sure our stay was comfortable a very nice woman and super friendly I would 1000 percent recommend this location this was by far the best place I stayed using air bnb Im looking forward to coming back here anytime I’m in las Terrenas thank you so much for having my family at your home and thank you Valerie for being an amazing host
