It belonged to the German immigrants who formerly owned the coffee plantation here, but it’s now the Centro Ecoturístico Santo Domingo and has a restaurant (mains M$70 to M$180), a small creaky-floored and dusty coffee museum (M$10), and a well-tended tropical garden and pool (M$10; free with a meal).
