My small kids and I stayed here for 2 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. Silvia and Ferdinando prepared a delicious Italian dinner for us our first night. They were so kind and friendly during our stay. The grounds are gorgeous with lots of flowers and trees, and the pool is the perfect place for a swim after the beach. We loved how close it was to supermarkets and within walking distance of Marino Ballena. I recommend this place for all travelers.

Sylvia, the owner/manager was so nice and pleasant! Our room was comfortable and very clean. The property was beautifully landscaped and there is a pool to cool off in. There is also a restaurant on the property which was nice to have right there for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner.

Old fashioned hospitality hotel
I can’t say enough about our stay in Uvita at Dolce Uvita. Silvia and Ferdinando have done a beautiful job of creating an unforgettable experience. It’s an old fashioned hotel experience the way guests and hosts used to be. The pool, the grounds, the location, the personal chef touch with some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had (I lived in Italy for 2 years). Great place. Don’t book anywhere else.

We hit a home run when we decided to stay at Dolce Vita for part of our trip. Sylvia and Ferdinando could not have been more friendly and greatly improved our overall experience with their fantastic advice and food. You simply must take advantage of their Italian restaurant and homemade cooking - it was authentically delicious. The property is immaculate. I can't even imagine how much time the owners put into keeping the estate well-manicured and the rooms spotless. I would definitely not hesitate to return and stay there again in the future. Thank you!
