Pour a drink, drop into the sofa, and watch the play come through the fairway just beyond the glass. Villa Otto is a single-storey, four-bedroom villa on The Links at Casa de Campo, its living room opening straight onto the golf course. It sleeps eight across four bedrooms, with a housekeeper and an included cook handling the meals. It's the villa for a group of golfers or a family who want the fairway at the window and a pool out back.

The living room is the heart of it: a wall of glass puts the fairway right there while you eat or read, under vaulted white ceilings. Out back, a green-tiled pool sits in a walled garden with sun loungers under the palms, private and quiet away from the course. The covered terrace bridges the two, a lounge at one end and a table for meals outside. The bedrooms are simple and comfortable, a couple of them with canopy beds for the grown-ups.

Villa Otto sits in the golf core of the resort, so a tee time on Teeth of the Dog — ranked the Caribbean's top course by the World Golf Awards — is a short cart ride away, with Minitas Beach and Altos de Chavón not much further. Breakfast is on the table without anyone in the kitchen, and the afternoons are yours between the course and the pool. It's the villa to book when the trip is built around golf but the group still wants a proper home with a pool and someone else doing the cooking.
