Monte Placido is truly a little piece of heaven on earth. There is so much good about it that makes for a wonderful, laid back, natural beauty infused experience. The location is magical - with fantastic views of the tropical vegetation and ocean. The surroundings are stunning - with the very well taken care of and very rich botanical gardens on the property and the infinity pool. The accommodations are a perfect blend of comfortable, practical and unique. This is the ideal place for a getaway where your priority is relaxing, a calm and beautiful surrounding and connection with nature. The most beautiful beaches start at only a 5 minute drive away, and the town of Las Terrenas with its fresh fish market, grocery stores, french bakery and loads of restaurants and shops is only a 15 minute drive away. Other pluses - BBQ near the pool, friendly staff and attentive hosts. Oh, and the yoga cave and massage room too... Loved finding this place and our stay there - definitely coming back again and again!

Don and Diana go out of there way to make sure you feel comfortable, relaxed and welcomed at their "retreat" home. It is quiet (except for the wake up call from the roosters) and away from the busy city. But, it is close enough that if you need anything or want to get to the beach, it's only a 10-15 minute drive. I would recommend a car to provide flexibility, but the owners do give other options. We spent one entire day by the pool and enjoyed the view! I would highly recommend this place to the travelers that are looking for a true get away. Enjoy!

We were looking for peace and quiet with tropical beauty and found it at Monte Placido. The driveway is a world class hill climb for a 3 cylinder car (splurge for a 4 cylinder!) but its necessary to have the stunning views we enjoyed. It was a nice luxury to have a whole casa to ourselves - the Falcone - and we would request it again for the vistas from the balcony. Don and Diana are responsive hosts who managed to provide a great experience despite the local electric power company going bankrupt, leaving a good chunk of Samana without power for weeks. They were getting solar quotes when we left! Looking froward to a longer stay next year.

Joyful Rejuvenation at Monte Placido
Joyful Rejuvenation at Monte Placido
What a view! This place is idyllic, a set of whimsical mountain cottages set discreetly in a lovely, lively garden; birds and blooms and butterflies abound. The owners have taken great care to honor the natural features of the hilltop; each of the terraces has a unique view, and each makes the most of Samana's gorgeous light. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed; inside and outside spaces are equally inviting. Of special note is Shiva's Cave, an open yoga studio set into the hillside in what is still a natural cavern. This space, which can hold up to twenty-five practicing yoginis, is beautifully designed to allow a full view of the valley and the bay below. It's perfect for morning meditation, afternoon asanas, and sundown savasanas, a lovely spot from which to contemplate both earth and sky. If you are visiting the Dominican Republic with aspirations to rest and rejuvenate, Monte Placido is just the place for you.

Everything about this location was amazing. The owners staff and everything I was able to do and experience on this trip to Monte Placido the best vacation I have taken in over 10 years. Would def go back. And I highly recommend this location for anyone no matter your past travel experiences. The area was completely safe and secure. One of the most beautiful location I've been to in the Dominican Republic.
