Villa Isabel
Description
The air changes as you stroll along Casa de Campo’s palm-lined boulevards; it’s cooler under the canopy and has salt on the breeze. Then you see Villa Isabel, which is low and elegant with tall wooden ceilings that draw trade winds through each room and lift the light.
The interior of the house reads like an essay in laid-back elegance: an open floor plan that allows the day to flow from sofa to terrace to garden without ever feeling staged, textures that feel good under the hand, and a double living room designed for both quiet reading and lengthy conversations. The lanai, which is spacious, shaded, and inviting by late afternoon, is the heart of the villa. You can lounge around the al fresco table, read a book, or enjoy an early cocktail while the evening breezes soften the day’s edges.
There is a purpose behind the architecture. The open layout and high timber ceilings allow for natural ventilation, but everything you need is available when you need it: fast Wi-Fi that just works, lighting that can be adjusted from sun-bright to lantern-soft, and whisper-quiet air conditioning throughout bedrooms and common areas. With en suite or adjacent bathrooms that feel spa-clean rather than fussy, closets that swallow luggage so the rooms feel yours by day two, and linens that stay cool against sun-warmed skin, the six bedrooms are scaled for true rest and privacy.
An air-conditioned studio with a suitable desk, surround sound, Smart TV, and a strong signal is waiting behind a quiet door when work (or a little alone time) calls. This allows calls to land clearly and focus to return quickly. With professional appliances, sensible prep zones, and circulation that can accommodate a private chef night or a leisurely family breakfast before the beach, the kitchen operates as a good kitchen should.
Villa Isabel embraces its surroundings outdoors. Dining under the eaves becomes a habit because the conversation seems to last longer in the open air; the lanai spans the house for all-day shade; soft seating collects the breeze and keeps the view in play. A well-kept garden provides seclusion without detracting from the feeling of place, and the entire arrangement seems designed for social travel: space for teenagers and grandparents to relax, nooks for phone calls or naps, and sightlines that keep everyone in touch. Villa Isabel is unique among Casa de Campo villas in that it strikes a balance between thoughtful amenities and elegant décor that enhance the experience while maintaining a relaxed and humane atmosphere.
The highlights of Casa de Campo are situated close enough to feel impromptu. The Teeth of the Dog, The Links, and Dye Fore courses invite sunrise tee times with ocean drama and river-canyon views; the Marina folds in waterfront dining and yacht days; and Altos de Chavón adds stone lanes, galleries, and plaza life above the Río Chavón. Minitas Beach offers serene, swimmable water and laid-back seaside lunches. The evening breeze lifting the curtains, the lantern glow on the wood, and the silence that makes time seem longer—Villa Isabel is your compass through it all.
Travel times and distances (realistic, door-to-door): Villa Isabel can be reached from La Romana International Airport (LRM) in 10 to 15 minutes, Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in 50 to 60 minutes, and Santo Domingo’s Las Américas (SDQ) in 75 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic. About 5 to 10 minutes will get you to Minitas Beach and its beach club; 5 to 10 minutes will get you to the Teeth of the Dog clubhouse and spa; 10 to 15 minutes will get you to the Marina restaurants and charters; 10 to 15 minutes will get you to the Racquet Center and horse facilities; and 15 to 20 minutes will get you to Altos de Chavón and Dye Fore.
Map cue: Casa de Campo’s central residential area near Minitas on the south shore of La Romana, roughly 18.41° N, 68.91° W. The final 1-2 km of the resort follow level, well-marked lanes that are suitable for any vehicle, though a private SUV transfer is the most convenient option. Once you’re settled in, a golf cart is perfect for beach, tennis, and marina hops. Arrival is easy on fully paved roads from all airports.
Villa Isabel offers a unique value proposition by combining an AC studio designed for real-world productivity with towering timber architecture and a full-length lanai. This results in a home that looks great at noon and after dark and provides a genuine, private workspace that is uncommon in similar Casa de Campo villas.
Three things to do in the area

- A leisurely lunch with a view of the sea after a front-nine at Teeth of the Dog.
- Take a stroll in Altos de Chavón during golden hour to see galleries, take in views of the river, and eat in the plaza.
