My husband and I stayed at Casa Peniscola five nights during the first half of our honeymoon in El Salvador. This house is amazing, with truly gorgeous views from any spot on the spacious property. As others have mentioned, the master bedroom is spacious and filled with light, while the other four bedrooms (with 2 twin beds each) are smaller and more basic, but certainly clean and suitable. The kitchen is well stocked if you are cooking your own meals (as we did), with great grilling options on the back patio. We did not rent a car, but often caught the bus which passes on the street outside the gated driveway. It is .25 or .50 cents for a bus ride down the coast to other surf spots (Sunzal etc.) or to La Libertad. You can walk 10 minutes to surf El Zonte point break, or surf the beach break in front of the house. We found we didn't really need a car at all. Our favorite aspect about the house was the many different spots outdoors to sit or relax- from the shady gazebo overlooking the ocean to the three giant hammocks, to cushioned couches, wooden tables, breakfast nooks, poolside lounging chairs, etc. etc. The landscaping is impeccable as well. From the property, you can walk down the spiral stone staircase to the ocean (passing by an awesome outdoor shower!), to explore a magnificent natural arch/cave and black sand beach. Such an incredible spot!!! Finally, Santos and Karin were lovely and helpful hosts. Thank you, Marisa, for giving us such a fabulous experience and memorable honeymoon!!!

What an amazing place!!! It was true that it was even better than you could imagine. The staff, Marisa, the food, the gorgeous beach and the property were perfect. It was so great to have the ocean at your doorstep for surfing but then the 10m pool to cool off in. My husband, 2 kids (14 and 16) and I enjoyed the relaxing location but with the help of Marisa and Angel, managed to go to San Salvador and to the Ruta de las Flores as well. Would recommend this villa very highly.

This was one of the most amazing places we've ever stayed. We had a great time here with our three kids, aged 3-11. We loved the mellow beach that was right down the stairs, for swimming and playing in the sand. We really liked the easy walk on the beach to El Zonte, which was accessible almost always except at the highest of tides, and going through the tunnels which are beneath the property. The caretakers were thoughtful, kind, helpful, and really fun to be around. We hope to be back for sure! The property is well designed on a very special piece of land.

The house was done in a colonial Spanish style that overlooks a wonderful beach that makes for amazing sunsets and beautiful nights. This place is very relaxing for meditation and stress-relief purposes. It's secure, reliable, and by far one of the most isolated black sand beaches I've ever experienced. The beach alone is worth 5 stars. Im not sure you can find a better beach house in el Salvador, but it will be hard to beat. I would utilize the trained staff while visiting, they are friendly and accomplish most of the tasks that are given. It is isolated, so make sure you bring a car rental or driver. Would be my ideal place to stay for a vacation in el Salvador.

I spent a very good time in that beautiful house. The location is amazing, the house is peacefull, and has a very unique charm. There is a big garden, many rooms, its clean, a pool and a direct access to the beach. There are a lots of activies in a close area. I absolutely advise that vacation spot!

I went to Peniscola Villa last March and I do have to say that this place is breathtaking. This place has everything beautiful views, great food, private beach, pool and a comfortable atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend Peniscola Villa. A+++

The pictures don't do justice to this gorgeous house, which we have rented with friends and family three times now. It sits on a cliff overlooking a beach shared with a few other houses, the waves and sun and breeze are perfect, you can walk a few minutes to tasty beach-side restaurants at El Zonte (which is perfectly tranquil and safe), the staff will shop for you and clean up after you cook. It's our favorite place to go in El Salvador!
