Hans
Villa La Talanquera is an ideal place to relax and unwind from the busy Western lifestyle. The property is not fenced off, creating a very spacious feeling and connecting with the ocean in front. The large covered patio with dining table and salon, directly connected to the large terrace and swimming pool, invites guests to enjoy outdoor living to the fullest, day and night. During the whale season, January-March, magnificent humpback whales can often be seen right from the terrace, and a small cove in front of the house is often used by baby whales to learn the ropes.
Over the past 20 years I have lived in several places on several continents with different cultures, so I'm well-traveled and fluent in several languages. I enjoy sharing my travel experiences and listening to those of others. I enjoy showing people the beauty of the place where I currently live, and I take great pleasure in knowing I have helped someone experience a wonderful Caribbean vacation. I am a proud father of a daughter and a son, whom I'm raising with my wife Visandy. I can't live without e-books on my Kindle, nor without my laptop and Internet. They're key to running my business and keeping in touch with the world. To keep physically active, I go hiking and mountain biking on the numerous dirt roads in this area. I'd be happy to take you on a ride!
This part of the peninsula of Samaná is still very unspoilt, so you'll find lots of spots where you can connect with pure nature, picture-perfect beaches, lush jungle and millions of coconut and palm trees. A 10-minute car ride puts you in Las Galeras, where you find some good restaurants, bars, "discotecas", convenient stores and tour operators for excursions. About 20 minutes from the villa is the city of Samaná, where you will find supermarkets, many more restaurants, active night, numerous gift shops and a beautiful marina. 20 minutes is also all it takes to get to famous Playa Rincon for a truely caribbean beach experience. Although the house is a little secluded, safety is always monitored by our guardian.
