"A peace and quiet place in the Zona colonial. Clean and welcoming. The waiter was so gracious. Great fruit juices. 💝🍊🧡"

"On our last day in the Dominican Republic; we came upon this hidden gem. I was lacking two essentials to take the greatest advantage of both the shop and the courtyard---my wallet and my camera.
There were several small pieces of art work in the gallery that caught my attention, and the lush little court yard was the perfect place to cool off while watching some colorful birds.
Wlill stop longer and better prepared next time. But this time I did have enough to have a cold drink and made my cell phone suffice for photo taking."

"A simply stunning place. Quaint, quiet, reflective and timeless. It’s secret garden (and art gallery) which serves coffee at $1, and limited selection of drinks. It organizes regular literary and artistic events, and has a piano which I was allowed to practice on every day. A must visit fir reading a book, or just soaking in the 1500s atmosphere."
