Villa Serena is truly a remarkable home. The interior of the home is tastefully furnished and has every amenitiy you could want. My husband and I spent 4 days in this beautiful home in Oct. We were blessed with beautiful sunny warm days and cool starry nights. We took full avantage of the well appointed deck with it’s incredible sweeping view of the Sonoma Hills. The home is postioned for privacy and due to the fact that it is at the end of a cul-de-sac there is literally no car traffic. The peacefulness of this setting allows you to relax fully and appreciate the beauty of this unique place. Yet it is a short drive to the town square in Sonoma with it’s many shops and delicious dining options. We have had many hotel experiences but are now truly convinced that experiencing a location by renting a home makes you feel so much more connected to that location. The owners provided detailed instructions for the property and were very attentive to any needs or questions. If you are planning a trip to Sonoma and Villa Serena is available book it now and I know you will feel as fortunate as we were to have been there!!

Jo, your home is fabulous!
There is no way the listing can accurately depict the view from 875 feet above Sonoma, feeling the serenity, smelling the earth, hearing the crickets at night, feeling the warmth of the sun on our face as we sat on the deck having our morning coffee, and experiencing your very private, tastefully simple, classy retreat.
And Sonoma is perfect as well. A perfect home base that is eclectic, quaint, great restaurants, beautiful center plaza, lovely shops...we were delighted to support the local economy. We were blown away by all the wineries in Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley, hanging out in Healdsburg, exploring Muir Woods, seeing the breathtaking beauty as we drove into Stinson Beach. The list could go on and on. (Recommendation: rent a Volvo hard top convertible.)
We would love to come back with four other people, including our 21 year old son. Unfortunately there isn't another queen or king bedroom for the adult couple. But it was a perfect romantic getaway for Gary and me.
Six nights was not enough! Thank you, Jo, for giving us a memory that will last a lifetime.
With gratitude,
Jill & Gary

Amazing Stay
Submitted: June 15, 2012
Stayed: June 2012
Two of us stayed at the Villa for 3 nights. It was by far the nicest home we had ever rented - beautiful yet comfortable. Every detail was magnificent, capped by a view of the mountainside that brought us instant peace. The house is close to town, in a location that's extremely private and quiet - perfect for a getaway vacation. We highly recommend staying at Villa Serena and would happily do so again - preferably for longer next time!

“Oh thank you Villa Serena! We all fell in love with California: the food, the culture, and the landscape! We hiked the beautiful Sugarloaf Mountain trail – yes, Sonoma has way more than just world-class vineyards! Morning haiku at Villa Serena:
Wind chimes and coffee,
hummingbirds fence in midair -
this view heaven.”
