Holiday rentals in Castañuela

Our stay at Villa Marina was simply perfect. Even though we only spent one night, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was impeccably clean, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the whole space felt peaceful and pleasant. Our host was amazing and the gardener was very attentive and made sure everything outside looked beautiful and well maintained. It was so peaceful and quiet that we could completely relax – we even finished our book and at the same time enjoyed the beautiful sunset. If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing escape, even if only for a short stay, we highly recommend Villa Marina. We will definitely be back!

An excellent place to stay while visiting Monte Cristi! The accommodations were comfortable, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything was just as described. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay in the area!

Very well located place and good air conditioning in the rooms.

Located close to the main road for easy access. The place is very unique and quiet at night.

Totally pleased with the hospitality, attention and kindness of Aristides, a close, reliable and friendly treatment. The house has an incredible view and the place is very quiet and friendly, 100% recommended.

Indira’s Montecristi hideaway exceeded every expectation. Tucked just outside town, the house offers peaceful seclusion, yet we could be right in the center of Monte Cristi in under five minutes—best of both worlds. The home itself is stunning: an airy open-plan layout, stylish décor, and every amenity you could hope for. You can tell a lot of thought went into the details. Our four-day stay was packed with adventure with island-hopping, scuba diving, and even spearfishing—each outing was memorable and hassle-free. After long days on (and under) the water, returning to such a comfortable, well-appointed space felt like pure luxury. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat that still keeps you close to Monte Cristi’s charm and endless water activities, this is it.

We received very good attention from Mami, the property is equipped with everything you need and quite clean.

This stay was everything I needed and more. From the moment I arrived, the hosts made me feel so welcome, it was like stepping into a home filled with warmth and kindness. As someone who loves solo travel, feeling safe and at peace is super important to me, and this place gave me exactly that. Waking up and being able to walk 30 seconds to the beach was like a dream! I spent my mornings reading, meditating, and working on my laptop by the ocean. Plus, they have a bicycle, which made it easy to explore the area and ride to the little community nearby. And the food… wow. Their Italian restaurant is next level. I had breakfast, Pizza and spaghetti that tasted straight out of a five-star restaurant. Everything was fresh, authentic, and made with love. Beyond the beach, the food, and the comfy stay (AC, Wi-Fi, all the good stuff), what really made this special was the energy. I’m beyond grateful for this experience! Btw, I took the opportunity to interview them so follow @dominican_diary
