This environment gives a sense of seclusion, privacy and tranquility accentuated by the neighboring church bells and running water from the courtyard plunge pool.

• The first house, Casa del Arbol, is decorated around the “Pineapple” theme, a symbol of hospitality to the indigenous people and the décor reflects the Dominican culture featuring local artwork, modern carved furniture, and antique tropical pieces.

•  The next abode, Casa de los Mapas, or the House of Maps, has antique vintage maps once used by the early settlers on the walls.

• The third home, Casa Macorís, is where guests enjoy the calming chime of nearby church bells throughout the day, and relish the house's timeless ambiance. Thick walls and an interior garden offer a refreshingly cool interior with spaces designed for enjoyment and pure relaxation.
