    Absolutely beautiful village in a medieval setting. There are lots of shops there too with quality items. The stonework and view of the river was amazing. We arranged a taxi from our resort to take us there and back. Very safe place to visit.

    A hidden gem in Casa de Campo. Lots of good restaurants, a great cafe, and beautiful atmosphere. It feels like you have gone back in time. Beautiful during the day and at night. Make sure not to miss the coliseum it is a bit off the main path but built with epic proportions.

    Absolutely beautiful Mediterranean town in the woods of the Dominican Republic in Casa de Campo with cafes and museums, restaurants and tons of photo opportunities. A real time capsule. Bring some sun block 😊

    I'm glad we went, but I will forewarn you that it is difficult to gain entry to Casa de Campo if you aren't staying there. You must have a concierge service get your reservation secured, but then you are at the mercy of whomever is at the desk. You must bring your passport with you as well. The people at the desk kept changing the price of entry telling our concierge contact one thing ($25/person) and us another ($50/person). Plus the woman at the desk made us wait over an hour and a half for some random reason that didn't make any sense. Even our driver was getting annoyed and knew that they weren't being straight with us. There were 4 different people behind the desk and no one would answer the phone (it was ringing nonstop) to talk with our concierge contact so she had to call me directly so that I could hand the phone to the woman we were dealing with. Very unprofessional and the delay had nothing to do with security. Otherwise the town was really stunning and definitely feels like you're in an old town in Italy. We enjoyed touring the local museum which has a lot of artifacts about the DR and the people who have lived there over the centuries. Very cute shops, lots of restaurants, beautiful walkways through the town and gardens. And of course you can see the church where Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley got married. Definitely glad we went, but the fuss just to get in was unnecessary.

    Altos de Chavón was definitely one of the highlights of the resort. It was a nice little drive on the golf cart to get there but the scenery is spectacular. The entire drive so doesn’t seem like it’s a long drive. The area had a variety of restaurants to choose from most seem to be open later in the day after 5 PM or so however, we did find one restaurant that was open midday . I would highly recommend a trip here during the daytime as well as the evening. Both were spectacular and all the restaurants we ate that were extremely delicious.

    This is a gorgeous constructed town made to look like a Italian borgo, safe and friendly, that has restaurants, an amphitheater and lots of shops. It’s very beautiful and a must if you go to Casa De Campo Villas and Resorts, La Romana, Dominican Republic. Loved it. The photo of the church is where pop icon at the time, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s daughter, got married.

    What an amazing little town! Right on casa de campo Property, this fascinating place occupies a hillside that over looks a river and golf course. This place makes you feel like you have been transported to some other time and place and just feels cool being there and walking around. Great restaurants, service and views! I wedding was in progress 1 of the days we were there and you can tell these pictures are going to be phenomenal! We caught a Jazz Show In the amphitheater and it was just so cool we had a blast. The weather was perfect, atmosphere was perfect. Just a great time.

    Beautiful place. Like the other reviews, make sure you bring your passport and pay $50/person to enter. Really cool place to spend the day to walk around and enjoy the facilities. Restaurants are really nice but pricy. The stadium is really impressive to see.

    Very accurate recreation of an original, but it remains in mind that it was built only for "selected ones" and it was not meant to be seen by tourists.

    A breathtaking place! We did a wedding photo shoot here and it was unbelievable. Altos is so well maintained and is in a gorgeous location perched above a river. A beautiful place to visit and a perfect backdrop for any event!

    Time well spent. Definitely Worth visiting. The kids enjoyed it.

  • 5/5 Steven M. (. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! What an amazing place! If I may offer you all a suggestion. If you go here, wear some type of closed shoe/boot. Antonio (our taxi driver) was wonderful! We found out that the movies Anaconda and Rambo (not sure wich one) were filmed on this river at this location. Very cool!

    Picturesque tourist attraction at Casa de Campo that should not be missed. Beautiful stone buildings complete this quaint town on the edge of the Chavon river. Both the views of the river and the amphitheater are equally breathtaking. Restaurants and shops provide things to do in this romanic oasis.

    Great during sunset. Opens late with 4 restaurants, all dine-in even during Covid. The views of the amphitheater and Rio Chavón are fantastic! It’s very well lit at night and perfect for evening stroll.

    A magical little town, and such a great idea for a day trip from Santo Domingo which is what I did. The only way to get there if not staying at Casa de Campo is to purchase the visitor day pass at the Casa de Campo office for $30 USD. Also be sure to arrange transportation ahead of time if not driving.

    Amazing views, scenery and architecture. A unique place nestled in the hills overlooking the Chavón River, you can find an incredible amphitheatre, a cathedral, a gallery/museum and a wonderful collection of gardens and pathways that will remind any European of how things are back home. Loved it, and the people there are fantastic.

    Beautiful and quiet Mediterranean town with cheap drinks and a nice place to relax. We came here via private taxi from the cruise port. No crowds, no stress.

    Fantastic spot in Dominican Republic. Great views on the Chavòn river, good restaurant options, nice shops. Great atmosphere with amazing park and landscaping. Really feels like an authentic colonial outpost. During Christmas season they go all-in on lights and decoration.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this last minute stop. We had not planned on a visit here and it was recommended by our driver and it did not disappoint. The scenery was relaxing and the feeling of history surrounded us. Very detailed architecture and design. We had a range of ages from 19 to 60+ and we were all happy with this destination.

  • 5/5 Frauke L. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place to take a stroll. Very photogenic views.

  • 5/5 StarBlairATL 4 months ago on Google
    It was well worth the $11 per person cost to ride from the cruise port to the location and back. We were able to spend hours enjoying the stunning views, interesting museums, recreated cultural center, and lofty cafes.

    Very beautiful place. Our tour included multiple stops and our time here was short than I would have liked, but it is an interesting place and a great place for photos.

  • 5/5 Ken G. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an enjoyable place to visit. Great restaurant choices and most of all spectacular view. Well worth coming to experience.

  • 5/5 Marie B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a must see if you’re ever in the area! The entry fee is $30 dollars per person and you will need to have your own car or a taxi will cost you $25 dollars per trip, but it’s so worth it. The small town feel is adorable and beautiful. The beach is by far the most beautiful beach in the DR. The drinks and food at the pool bar is delicious, and the staff is incredible!

  • 5/5 Chuck B. 2 years ago on Google

    I was a part of a wedding at this location. It was an excellent choice. Breathtaking views. Perfect place for romance. The pictures you can take here are amazing. Just wear the right shoes for walking on cobblestone

  • 5/5 Michael T. 1 year ago on Google
    Located just outside of Dye Fore golf course, this Spanish city replica is awesome. Great restaurants and bars as well as fantastic photo ops. Do not miss this on your trip to Casa De Campo.
