From Altos de Chavon, a glimpse of the mystic Chavon River. This is the view offered by some of the four restaurants of Hotel Casa de Campo located here. The other four retaurants of the Hotel offer these views.

Nestled up on the wild bluffs above the Chavon River sits the village of Altos de Chavon. Recreated in the early 1980's by Roberto Copa, then a set designer for Gulf and Western's Colombia Pictures, Altos transports one back to Europe in the 16th century with it's cobblestone streets, narrow winding footpaths and a 5,000 seat outside amphitheater. A national monument, and home of the Altos de Chavon School of Design, which is associated with New York City's Parson's School of Design.
THE RESTAURANTS OF ALTOS DE CHAVON |
|
| LA PIAZZETTA an experience not to be missed |  |
From the garden behind the restaurant comes fresh Italian herbs, lettuces and eggplants, from the kitchen a menu that spans the traditional to the modern in Italian cooking and an antipasto bar featuring over thirty five different selections each night with many varieties of Italian breads, cheeses, and Italian cured meats. The pastas are homemade, the carpaccios impeccably fresh, and the service swift and knowledgeable. Enjoy the chef's tiramisu with a steaming cup of cappuccino while the musicians thread their unobtrusive way between the tables playing their mandolins and violins

| EL SOMBRERO a taste of Mexico |  |
Tucked around the corner from the Church of St. Stanislaus in Altos de Chavon lies a little piece of Mexico. Colorfully decorated with serapes, sombreros, puppets, Aztec weavings and other folkloricos, the Mexican cantina atmosphere is nicely recreated. Welcomed with a shot of tequila, you pass our "antojitos" bar, where a variety of typical appetizers are prepared to order. A night in El Sombrero is carefree and delicious, painted in brilliant wild colors, accented with mariachi music and tequila.

| CAFE DEL SOL Old World Charm |  |
Cafe del Sol offers you a gentle retreat, a place to relax as you shop and see the sights of Altos de Chavon. Enjoy an authentic Italian style pizza baked in our wood burning oven. The pizza kitchen is placed in the restaurant so you can observe the preparation of your pizza and see it bubble inside the oven as it bakes. The choices are many and the crusts are thin and crispy. For those who choose not to select pizza, we are sure one of the salads, an antipasto plate, or one of the fantastic ice cream confections piled cool and high will hit the spot.
