altos de chavon school of design

Located in the Altos de Chavon Village, this was a such a letdown. You entered the school went into a back room where they were weaving the fabric to make blankets. There were two people in the room, one working the loom and the other doing the actual weaving. Upon exiting, another person came and sat at the front door. Definitely nothing like Parsons schools of design..in fact not much of a design school period.

The Altos de Chavon is a beautiful replica of an Italian village. The views of the Chavon River are outstanding!Lovely artists' shops and boutiques plus restaurants.

Likes:the ancient Santo Domingo,the stores,people were nice everywhereCons: a noisy,old bus (noisy engine,everything was shaking inside etc)

Want to study art? It doesn't get any better. Wonderful 1976 stone reproduction of quaint Italian village. Get creative and get inspired!

Great places to unwine and relax, wallk and enjoy the great scenery!! Food is a little expensive, but well worth it!!

We went on a private tour to Altos de Chavon area, not to the School of Design itself. The views of the river gorge, the gardens and the ancient-looking buildings, amphiteater and other monuments are very pretty, all very well kept. Be aware that if you are staying at a hotel in the La Romana-Bayahibe area, if your hotel requests it by email Altos the Chavon tickets will only be $5 per person, instead of the normal $25. Children are free.

We visited with a cruise ship group. There was not a lot of activity, the stay was too long and the museum presentations were not interesting.

This school is for students that are from other countries that want to learn the art and cannot afford it. They survive on donations from rich people

En realidad por lo que me contaron este lugar nacio para albergar una escuela y para becar a artistas, ya con eso vale la pena apoyar el lugar para qeu pueda seguir funcionando. La villa es hermosa, es para recorrerla toda. Tiene una vista panoramica increible y cada lugar vale la pena , es para recorrerla toda. Tuve la suerte de ir sin guia con una amiga que vive ahi, asi que pude conocer el lugar con mas tranquilidad.

Es un lugar maravilloso, su arquitectura y diseño en piedra remonta en el tiempo o te traslada a la toscana .... No te lo pierdas ....

Hermoso, cada rinconcito es hermoso y asombroso, no puedes dejar de recorrer, tienes que tener tiempo para recorrerlo y el tiempo que te da el guía se hace poquisimo, pero vale 100/100

Mi esposo y yo hemos estado en este lugar en tres ocaciones diferentes y no me canso de visitar por su arquitectura impresionante , su historia y sus paisajes , si visita la Romana no lo deje de visitar, les recomiendo Saona Chavon, un tour maravilloso.

Красивое места для отличной фотосессии, архитектура восхищает. Ощущение как-будто попал в европейский испанский городок с шикарным амфитеатром и часовней в которой венчался Майкл джексон! Очень красиво и не забываемо! Рекомендую!

Foi uma manhã muito bem passada! Pelo menos valeu pela companhia e pela guia Margarita do hotel Bahia Principe!O local é de facto muito bonito, muito bem conservado e arquitetado. O anfiteatro ao ar livre foi a parte mais emocionante e bela. É sem dúvida muito bonito, assim como, as vistas que podemos apreciar e as fantásticas fotos que se podem tirar! :) todavia, esperava ver um pouco mais do tipo de vida que se prática lá dentro... Ver o interior das casas, visitar o campo de golfe, passar pelo hospital, bombeiros, etc... Afinal Altos de Chavon é considerada uma cidade dentro da própria localidade! Mas muito pouco se viu... Fiquei com pena...

El que valora el diseño antiguo .. Le recomiendo este lugar.. Todo tiene una terminación de primera y añado que está muy bien conservado , recomiendo esta experiencia que para mi es única
