Juan Pablo Fernandez's villa in Casa de Campo provided everything we had hoped for and so much more. The villa has five spacious bedrooms including 7 beds (all queens except the master with a king) -- more than enough for our family of 6 adults and 4 children. Throughout the house the furnishings and art are attractive and well coordinated. The photos don't do it justice. Downstairs the dining table is perfect for 10 and the great room was plenty large for everyone to hang out. The rear yard is large and nicely landscaped with a small pool that was perfect for our grandchildren to spash around in before we set off for larger pools at the beach, the hotel and nearby in the community. Fresh flower arrangements greeted us on our arrival.
But the quality of the villa was just the start. The owner, Juan Pablo, made our experience really special. From the time we first inquired about the place, he made sure everything about our experience would be as near perfect as possible. He answered all our questions in detail. He arranged van pickups from the airport and kept us up to date on entertainment available on site throughout our stay. He provided two golf carts for us to get around the resort, and when he decided that might not be enough for the 10 of us, he threw in his Mini Cooper convertible and a bicycle. He also was constantly available if anything went wrong (like a van arriving late one day).
But wait, there's more. Did I mention Gladys, the housekeeper? She is there everyday, making the beds, keeping the place spotless, doing the laundry, cooking and serving breakfast and lunch if you please. She speaks only Spanish and we don't. But our lack of a common language was quickly overcome with Google Translate. Everything was great. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
