About this property

KID-FRIENDLY LUXURY VILLA - 300 YARDS FROM BEACH - MAID & CHEF INCLUDED !!!

Hello! I’m Lorenzo, the owner of Villa Can Nico. And this villa saved my life.

The short version of the story: I was on the way to work one morning when sharp pains shot through my chest, announcing a heart attack. Afterward, my doctor strongly recommended I quit my stressful job or risk heart attack #2. I listened!

That is why we turned our dream home by the sea and golf courses in Punta Cana—built from my own architectural designs—into a place we would share with others: Villa Can Nico.

And let me tell you, I have loved every minute of this new life! It is a pleasure getting to know our guests and helping them enjoy our villa (we have a spotless 5-star record from 100 and more families and counting!).


Here are some of our favorite features of our Villa Can Nico:

OUR BEACHES

The guests tell us the private beaches at Punta Cana resort are astounding, and they are! Nowhere have we found beaches this serene, peaceful, and nearly empty much of the time. And one beach, Playa Serena, is located just 300 yards away from Villa Can Nico. Take a short stroll and the beach is all yours.

These beaches are wonderful for kids, too, with gentle water and soft sand. We even provide the bucket and spade for building sandcastles at Villa Can Nico, as well as other kid-and-baby-friendly items like a 2 high chairs, 2 cribs, and toys for the pool and beach so you can pack a bit lighter. A 4 seats golf cart is also included in the rate

BRING THE OUTSIDE IN

Thanks to the flawless weather in Punta Cana, we created a space that blends indoor and outdoor spaces. Guests love the open-air rooms, interior patio bursting with lush tropical landscaping (palm trees included) and a gazebo at the center of
the villa with a sparkling pool—a place that will quickly become the most popular spot in the house.

Each of the 5 bedrooms open to the outdoors with large windows and sliding doors framed in white curtains that billow on a breeze. The furniture and décor in these bedrooms and throughout the villa are beautiful—but not so swanky that you don’t want to touch them. Take off your shoes, relax and get comfortable.


RESORT PRIVILEGES

No only do you get the comfortable, barefoot villa experience at the house, you also get all the perks of the Punta Cana Resort.

This includes 7 (seven!) different restaurants, an ecological park with naturally crystal clear freshwater lagoons, tennis courts, and most importantly (in my opinion), simply breathtaking golf courses. Of course, others would disagree with me and say the gorgeous private, pristine beaches are by far the best feature. I’ll let you decide for yourself!

JULIANNA

Our housekeeper and personal chef team will keep the place spotless for you and prepare gorgeous, authentic meals (breakfast & dinner) for your family and friends , her cooking service is included , not the groceries . The day of your arrival we will help You buy and transport the groceries to the villa at no extra cost . Pre stocking service is also available at no extra cost . This promotion is valid for bookings maid after July 31 2021

Juliana our Chef is a true treasure—check out our reviews for proof! We can provide a menu of items routinely requested, but the CHEF is happy to prepare anything under your direction We are so lucky to have her here at Villa Can Nico. She —best enjoyed out on the gazebo dining table in the warm Caribbean air .

We include 1 roundtrip airport transfer with the rental.

COME AND SEE US!

We would love to meet you and host you here at Villa Can Nico. Please contact us to book your dates or ask us any questions about Punta Cana or our villa. We’re happy to help!

Amazing vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this villa and cannot say enough great things about it! Lorenzo and his team, Juliana, Felix and Maria, truly made our vacation memorable and treated us like royalty. Highly recommend you have your meals there as we could not imagine any restaurant would have been better. The food was excellent and plentiful. The location is awesome and we discovered everything motoring around in the golf cart. Be sure to go to the ecological reserve, which is located within the resort and less than 10 minutes by golf cart. Many thanks for an unforgettable vacation!!

Punta Cana Family Trip

Took the family to Punta Cana, with kids from 12 years old to grandparents of 70 years old, and this was the perfect place. The house is gorgeous and everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms. The house is super open, bright and airy, something that the pictures can’t describe. The staff on site are amazing and took care of everything for us, from golf carts, breakfast, dinner and even fixing a dress strap that broke. Unbelievable experience and this is definitely a place I would come back to.

Family Trip

This property was the best for our family. Location was perfect for several outings and just a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach. Our host was always very quick to respond to our questions. The house staff were exceptional. So blessed to spend our time there.

Amazing Vacation

If I could give Villa Can Nico 6 stars I would. It was exactly as represented on VRBO (better actually) and everything from start to finish was outstanding. The owner, Lorenzo, we prompt in responding to all our questions before and during the trip. Our transportation was waiting for us when we arrived and took us right to the house. The house and property were beautiful, relaxing and comfortable. The beds were comfy and bedrooms were spacious. The veranda where we spent most of our time was very relaxing and comfy. We had our meals there and played games there at night. And then there were Juliana, Felix and Maria who did everything for us. We wanted for nothing. Fresh coffee was ready every morning at 7:30. When cooking they were very willing and gracious at accommodating our group members who had food allergies. Meals were delicious and plentiful, especially Juliana's paella! Our room were cleaned everyday and ready for us in the evening.We visited for two weeks, were totally spoiled, and did not want to leave. I would like to go back right now, actually!Thank you, Lorenzo, Juliana, Felix and Maria for a wonderful stay at what felt like home away from home.

The cooking, cleaning and service was second to none. Juliana, Felix and Maria made us feel like royalty. You will not be disappointed.

La Cana Family stay

My three-generation family of ten spent a marvelous and memorable week-long stay at Villa Can Nico. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. Lorenzo was a most gracious and accommodating host. The house was meticulous, open and well-laid out, very convenient to the La Cana club facilities and golf. Chef Juliana and her staff met us upon arrival and saw to our every need throughout our visit. They grocery shopped for us and provided scrumptious breakfasts and dinners each day. Maid service was also provided daily. The grandkids loved the outdoor living room and dining room next to the pool. A more formal indoor living and dining area was also available for use during inclement weather but we never had to use it. Golf carts allowed us to access anywhere within the resort without needing a car.

Great family house, with chef included!

This was a great house for our families. The little pool at the house was nice, and it was just a short walk to the Clubhouse to use the big pool or enjoy the beach. Getting around the area in the golf cart was a highlight for the older kids. Having great family meals (without cooking or clean-up!) Julianna, Maria, and Felix were great staff. And Lorenzo was great to answer all of our questions before and during our stay.

Wonderful vacation for our extended family of nine. Beautiful house, perfect location and outstanding staff including Lorenzo, Juliana, Felix and Maria who were willing and always available to accommodate all of our wants and needs. One of the highlights of our trip was to visit the Ecological Center located nearby. Truly enjoyed the natural beauty along with swimming in the amazing crystal-clear ponds.

Great family trip

We had a fabulous time being hosted by Lorenzo and his amazing team at the house- Juliana, Felix and Maria. The communication and service was amazing and Lorenzo ensured we had everything we needed prior to arriving. Our home cooked meals were insanely delicious and by the end of the trip we felt like family with the team. Our kids basically lived in the pool and we loved to hang in the gazebo area most mornings and afternoons. Would absolutely recommend!

Awesome Family Vacation

Villa Can Nico is a fantastic, spectacular vacation home! Lorenzo and his team Juliana, Felix and Maria were the best hosts you could ask for. The home is large and open. We had 8 staying and everyone had their own space but we spent the majority of time out back together enjoying the pool and living space at the pool. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Punta Cana, this is it! The team's keen commitment to attentiveness was second to none. The food was above outstanding, we never had to eat out except for days we were out on excursions. The overall accommodations were terrific. The team kept the house spotless and we never had to ask for anything. Use of the golf cart made it easy to explore all the resort has to offer. Everything was close and convenient including the beach and clubhouse. I highly recommend Villa Can Nico, if we go back to the Dominican Republic we will be sure to stay here again.

Unforgettable vacation

Lorenzo is a wonderful host. Having Julianna, Maria and Felix to cook, clean and do laundry made the ladies feel like princesses and the men happy they didn't have to clean up! No shopping needed. The menu was perfect because there was a spread for breakfast and dinner and everyone had choices. Julianna also very accommodating. Five bedrooms and five baths was awesome coming back from the beach, the Eco park was a cool experience and the beach had more than enough chairs. The pool at the house and the club was beautiful as well. Thank you for the experience, I have shared the site with a few friends already. Can't wait to return.

Spring Break 2023!

We stayed with three families March 2023. We had an amazing trip! The staff at the home was warm, welcoming and everything was better than expected. Lorenzo, Juliana, Amanda and Felix were fantastic! Golf carts were great to travel around and we did a few adventures. Easy access from the airport and overall the trip was easy if traveling with a large group like us. Kids were entertained and the adults felt spoiled with breakfast and dinner cooked nightly by talented team at the house. Overall, it was one of our best trips! Highly recommend visiting and staying here!
