Lovely simple but luxurious rooms, a sparkling pool and the kind of hosts you feel you've known all your life. We arrived on their night off and they just gave us the keys to the place and left us to it. We swam, we watched the outdoor tv and we had drinks from the bar ( with an honesty tab).... More

we stayed in villa deevena for over 2 weeks this February-March. We LOVED IT!!! the place is a little oasis, beautiful and well maintained. It is a small boutique-Hotel with only 6 confortable and modern ''cabinas'' wich makes the place cosy. The pool is great with soft salt water. The owners Patrick and Tasia are super friendly, they made our... More

Creative cuisine, right size portions (not large), fantastic people and great service. Had the duck ravioli it was really good, but not what I expected. It was more like a fried wanton than a pasta type of ravioli and it had a very zesty sauce. Also had the Cold eggplant with mozzarella and its prepared with balsamic vinaigrette, again it... More

The Villa Deevena restaurant was recommended to us by a good cafe owner in the area who claims the Villa Deeneva as their favourite restaurant. We were not disappointed. As travellers with an interest in good culinary experiences we would have to say this restaurant would rank among the best in Sydney, London or Paris. We were blown away by... More

My wife and I stayed here in early December 2011. We had a fantastic stay with our hosts, Patrick, the chef, and Tasia, his very capable, charming and helpful wife. There are six rooms surrounding a beautifly landscaped swimming pool. Despite its small overall size, each room has plenty of space and privacy. You sit on the bed and look... More

We are staying at the Marriott at Hacienda Pinilla and wanted to venture out for a special dinner. The father of the owner at Lola's recommended the Villa Deevena for dinner and are we happy he did. An excellent menu with reasonable prices and incredible food. The dining area is cozy and tastefully done and the family makes you feel... More

The food is what I first experienced with a group of travelers. I did not know Patrick's pedigree at the time, but later found out when I brought my girl there for a week the following year. Patrick and Pus are a french couple from L.A. Patrick is a world renowned chef who has prepared meals for presidents, that might... More
