Villa La Felicità by Boutique | House in Las Terrenas
5 Bedroom House in La Iglesia, Las Terrenas
Summary:
Villa La Felicità sits 100 meters from the beach on the Samaná Peninsula, in the town of Las Terrenas. Designed by Florian Treton, a French architect who has practiced here for over a decade, the house covers 650 square meters across two floors: six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an open-plan living and dining area of 139 square meters, a ground-floor pool, and a rooftop jacuzzi with a BBQ plancha dining setup alongside.
The interiors are the owner's own composition, built around Italian furniture and lighting sourced through Bredaquaranta in Milan, whose portfolio includes Cassina, B&B Italia, Poltrona Frau, Baxter, and Flos. Four of the six bedrooms are lined in Affreschi & Affreschi wallcoverings: handcrafted plaster panels from Puglia, produced from a blend of Carrara marble and Roman travertine, finished to read like a fresco. The kitchen, too, came from Italy.
All six bedrooms have European King beds and en-suite bathrooms. Two master suites, one on each floor, include bathtubs. The home accommodates up to 12 guests, with an additional queen sofa bed in the ground-floor master for groups of up to 14. A fully equipped gym, night security, step-free access, and parking for 7 vehicles complete the amenities.
The 2,000-square-meter tropical garden was designed by Daniel Nunes of Daniel Nunes Paisagismo in São Paulo, executed by a local landscaper from Santo Domingo. Nunes works with layering: species at different heights, building the kind of density that makes a tropical garden feel permanent.

The Neighborhood:
Las Terrenas is a beach town on the northern coast of the Samaná Peninsula with a distinct character: European expats arrived in numbers decades ago and the dining scene and pace of life reflect it, without erasing the Dominican rhythm underneath. French bakeries and Italian restaurants sit alongside seafood shacks and the fish stalls at Pueblo de los Pescadores, the open-air waterfront strip that is the town's social center. The villa is on Avenida España, 100 meters from the beach, and the town center is walkable from the front door.
Playa Bonita is a short drive away; Playa Cosón, longer and quieter, is a few kilometers further west. Both are Atlantic beaches with consistent conditions and minimal commercial development on the sand itself. El Limón Waterfall is 45 minutes by car, reached by foot or horseback. Los Haitises National Park is best accessed by boat from Samaná town, about an hour east. From January through March, humpback whales migrate into the Bay of Samaná; whale-watching boats operate from the Samaná town dock.
Getting Around:
A car is recommended for reaching beaches further west, such as Playa Cosón, and for excursions to El Limón and the Samaná Peninsula. Las Terrenas town center is walkable from the villa. The nearest airport is Samaná El Catey (AZS), approximately 27km away, a 30-minute drive by private transfer. Santo Domingo's Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) is approximately 142km away, around 2 hours by car.
Other Things to Note:
No pets, no smoking indoors, and no events or parties. Children and infants are welcome. The gym is available to guests with a 16+ age restrictions Check-in is from 3pm; check-out is by noon. A cleaning fee of 300 USD applies. Minimum stay is 2 nights.
Interaction with Guests:
