We loved our stay with Sylvia. Her property is simply a tropical paradise and she and her staff are great. The accommodations are very basic, and rather quaint which suited us just fine. If you are expecting slick, new and air conditioning, this is not the place for you. But if you want a little piece of tropical beauty, with a great pool, then we would highly recommend this property. you must like dogs as well ,there are 5 of them
Overall this property is as nice,clean and private as advertised. The owner Sylvia, along with her 5 well behaved dogs made me feel very welcome and comfortable. The casita is located just on the eastern outskirts of Los Terranes, which is about a 10 -15 minute walk to several nice beaches or into town where there are lots of nice restaurants and things to do. If you want to rent a Quad for exploring further, then I recommend doing it through Sylvia as she will get you a good rate with no hassles. What a wonderful day we spent driving through the hillsides and beaches ! The pool is exquisite and I swam in it every day.The kitchen is adequately equipped with pots and pans and cutlery, the shower has decent pressure and the double bed is comfortable. There is no A.C., but a couple of ceiling fans make it pleasant. There is a small fridge and stove which work well ( I cooked most of my meals there).The property is beautifully maintained by the pleasant and friendly staff Cirio and Fabienne. I had a lovely vacation and would recommend this property if you are looking for a nice, secluded, private, 'real Dominican' place as opposed to a busy, noisy all inclusive destination. ( You will like it even more if you love animals). Hope to return next year !

Die Unterkunft bietet eine tolle Möglichkeit um abzuschalten und den Aufenthalt ganz individuell gestalten zu können. Von Las Terrenas aus gibt es so viele tolle StrĂ€nde zu entdecken, wobei hier ein Allrad-Mietwagen dringend zu empfehlen ist (fĂŒr die Anreise sowie die Wege des tĂ€glichen Bedarfs). Sylvia hat sich ein wenig abseits des lauten schmutzigen Zentrums ein grĂŒnes und sehr tierliebes Paradies geschaffen, bei dem man als Gast die Möglichkeit hat im nebenan liegenden GĂ€stehĂ€uschen unterzuschlĂŒpfen. Die FreiluftkĂŒche sowie Lounge bietet Möglichkeiten zur Entspannung fĂŒr ein gutes Buch an Tagen, an denen man mal nicht das groĂzĂŒgige GrundstĂŒck verlassen möchte. Positive Einstellung gegenĂŒber Tieren wird jedoch vorausgesetzt, denn die sechs Hunde zeigen keine Scheu bei der gelegentlichen Stippvisite.
Der Innenbereich besteht aus Schlafzimmer mit Bad en Suite sowie einem begehbaren Kleiderschrank mit Safe, das ich nicht genutzt habe. Der Stil der RĂ€ume ist eine Liaison aus SĂŒdfrankreich mit karibischem Einfluss - ich habe mich an eine einstige Unterkunft in Nizza erinnert gefĂŒhlt. Sowohl im Innen-, als auch AuĂenbereich gibt es Ventilatoren. Das einzige Manko ist das fehlende Fliegengitter am Schreibtisch-Fenster sowie ein komplett dichter Baldachin ĂŒber dem Bett. Ich hatte erst keine neuen MĂŒckenstiche mehr, als ich mich vor dem Schlaf groĂzĂŒgig mit MĂŒckenspray eingesprĂŒht habe.
Ein kleines Paradies mit Sorglos-Organisation fĂŒr Wahnsinns-AusflĂŒge.
Es ist fĂŒr alles gesorgt.
Herzig und liebenswert, mit Sylvia waren wir rundum gut betreut!
Danke
Beautiful place, great company from the pets! Owner was very helpful and accommodating!
Sylvette was very helpful with the whole process. Sirio is awesome and I just fell in love with the place and the dogs!
Great experience! I highly recommend!
I enjoyed my stay at this property a lot! Needed few weeks away from all the craziness that surrounds us these days ( 2020-2022).
This place: Las Terrenas and the case we rented was like living in a little paradise. 15 min walk to the Town Center, Fish market or a beach. Great owner and super funny dogs on the property.
The only thing I would improve is the internet , that was not very good and lasted for few minutes sometimes. But otherwise charming little villa surrounded with Caribbean plants . Loved it! Thanks Sylvia!
Ha sido un viaje 10. La estancia, la zona, toda SamanĂĄ no ha enamorado. Cada AlegrĂa es un Oasis a un par de km de la playa de Las Terrenas. Tienes para tu total disfrute un bungalow confortable, una cocina americana con comedor en el exterior y dos estancias cada cual mĂĄs encantadora. Mejora la realidad a las fotos. Rodeado de una bella y cuidada vegetaciĂłn. Sylvia es muy atenta y simpĂĄtica que te deja libertad absoluta pero si necesitas lo que sea o informaciĂłn solo tienes que preguntar. La gente que tiene con ella trabajando y me refiero a Sitio es sĂșper majo y atento. Un dĂa nos fuimos de excursiĂłn con ellos recorriendo SamanĂĄ con ellos y fue inolvidable. Recomiendo sin duda alquilar quad para moverte en todos los alrededores. Cada playa mejor que la otra y el interior de selva una bellĂsimo. Imposible describir todo Hay que ir y a Casa AlegrĂa mĂĄs. Planeando ya el regreso y repetir.
Sylviaâs little villa and the exquisite walled garden and pool are pretty much a slice of heaven here in Las Terrenas. The villa consists of an enclosed, screened bedroom and bathroom and an extensive living-and-cooking area, covered with palm-thatch and open to the pool, directly in front. The compound seems large but this may be an illusion. It is beautifully landscaped and feels totally secure. The grounds and pool are maintained daily by a small, very friendly staff. The kitchen has everything you need to cook simple meals, including refrigerator and a gas stove with a working oven. The bedroom is stylish and comfortable with sufficient storage place for your clothes. The fan kept the bedroom pleasantly cool during our January stay. The shower works well. Best of all is Sylvia, who is friendly and delightful without being in the slightest intrusive. You should know three things before coming here ⊠but we will happily return here despite these three things ⊠1) You share the compound with three well-behaved dogs and a couple of cats ⊠2) The WiFi occasionally works well ⊠even well-enough to watch Netflix ⊠but is frequently and annoyingly unreliable ⊠much worse than other places we have stayed in Las Terrenas. And ⊠3) The villa is not located in âdowntownâ Las Terrenas. It is a one kilometer walk to the Lindo supermarket. It is also one kilometer to Playa Punta Poppy. These one-kilometer distances are perfectly walkable ... or it costs just a few US dollars to get a luxury taxi-ride back âhomeâ. Or you could rent a vehicle. Sylvia and her villa are wonderful.
In der Casita Alegria haben wir uns von Anfang an sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt.Tolles karibisches Flair ist garantiert. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man ist schnell an einem sehr schönen Strand mit netten Strandrestaurants, die den von den Fischern gefangenen Fisch gleich zubereiten. Frischer geht es nicht mehr.Durch kleine Colmedors in der NĂ€he kann man sehr schnell Kontakt zu den liebenswerten Dominikanern bekommen. Man kann sich durch die eigene Kochmöglichkeit natĂŒrlich auch selbst versorgen.
