~Easy Access~

Santo Domingo Airport (SDQ) is the main hub for international flights, it is located two and a half hours away. The roads are new and in excellent condition. We suggest you download the driving directions to your device. It is best not to depend on GPS or assume a taxi driver from Santo Domingo knows his way around Las Terrenas. 
We are a 40 minute drive from the nearest airport - El Catey in Samana (AZS). At the moment this airport only receives flight from Air Canada and Air Transat.

~HOSTS -
Monte Placido is the dream come true of property owners Don and Diana, who created and built this hilltop refuge outside of Las Terrenas in 2003. Originally designed for private and family use, they began to offer the grounds to the public in 2010. They live on-site and are available to assist you, or share their experience and knowledge of the area.
