class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arriving late in Santo Domingo, we tried a light but very good tapas dinner on the outside patio of Casa del Arbol on the evening of our arrival: cheese croquettes, meat brochettes, mini burgers, marinated shrimps, accompanied by a good glass of wine. Breakfast was \u00e0 la carte, with choices ranging from continental and healthy to local and Dominican. There was something for everyone. I really liked the place where we had it in the Casas de los Mapas, a sort of flowery pergola right next to the pool offering a hearty, tasty breakfast served in pretty bluish-toned crockery. We already felt like we were on vacation in this peaceful place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-7.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-7-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-7-1440x506.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-7-1536x539.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-7-800x281.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43976\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-8.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-8-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-8-1440x506.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-8-1536x539.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/saint-domingue-casa-del-arbol-mademoiselle-voyage-8-800x281.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=&#8221;grey&#8221;] <strong>HOTEL RESERVATION <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Houses of the XVI century<\/strong><br \/>\nCalle Padre Billini No. 252<br \/>\nColonial City, Santo Domingo<br \/>\nDominican Republic<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#x27a1;&#xfe0f; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/do\/casas-del-xvi.fr.html?aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Check hotel availability and make a reservation<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_HOW_TO_GET_TO_THE_HOTEL\"><\/span><strong>| HOW TO GET TO THE HOTEL<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hotel is 29km from the international airport of <strong>Santo Domingo de Las Americas<\/strong>.
