We enjoyed our stay at Villa Serena. It was a great location for our plans. We visited multiple wineries in the Napa & Sonoma area and also visited with friends in Santa Rosa, visiting 2 state parks. Our drive was 50 minutes or less for all our planned destinations.
The house was immaculate. Directions, locations of anything we could need was very clear through email and a binder within the residence. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking implements. We cooked almost every morning and every night while there. There is a Whole Foods and Safeway very convenient to the house.
The view out the windows and off the deck is lovely.
Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

The photos do not do this property justice. It was immaculate with amazing views and lovely shaded areas. This was the perfect place for a girls trip. We enjoyed the pool, kitchen, deck, and sitting area! Thank you for a wonderful stay. Jo was so communicative and welcoming. We could not have had a better weekend

We had an amazing stay at your house and appreciate how great your communication was as we prepared for our trip. Your house is amazing with breathtaking views. If anyone is looking for a first class home and owner in wine country this is it. Thank you for the bottle of wine upon arrival! Top notch class! And very easy access to Somoma Square within just a few minutes. You made our trip amazing. Thank you. Oh- and I don’t want to forget- it comes with a pool too!

My family and I stayed for the Christmas holiday and had a wonderful time. The location is convenient to the main square in Sonoma and yet it feels like the property is remote given the stunning landscape views. The house is cozy and comfortable with multiple seating locations for working, eating or reading. Jo is a lovely host and very communicative. She will reach out via phone to provide an overview and recommendations on things to do locally. Highly recommended!

My wife and I stayed here for a few days around the holidays. Absolutely beautiful home and location! We've stayed at many homes across the country, and this one ranks towards the top of that list at which we have stayed.
Back it up a bit, I have to say that Jo was also the most gracious and considerate host I have ever stayed with. Communication early was fantastic, and the wine and greeting card left for us was a pleasant and homey touch.
This feel like a HOME. Immaculately cleaned, very well maintained and thoughtful appointed and decorated.
Extremely quiet and private property, and neighborhood with a view that the pictures do not do justice. Stunning.
All of that, and still just a short drive down to the square in Sonoma
Weather wasn't great for our trip, but this house more than made up for that factor and we will be back!

The home is unbelievably amazing! It far exceeds the pictures of the place online - which already looked great!!!
The owners have thought of everything, and made the home so welcoming and comfy. And the views are stunning. The kind note and bottle of wine were also a nice touch of class.
It proved to be an unforgettable experience!

We loved our stay. It's perfect if you want to be close to the Sonoma square, yet off the beaten path a little. The roads up the hill to the house remind me a little of the hills in St. John USVI, but maybe not quite as steep. Beautiful views from the home. Wonderful deck that was perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee and waking up slowly. The host, Jo, was very helpful and accommodating. There are two bedrooms. One with a queen (or king?) bed and the other with two twins. I took the twin bedroom and gave my daughter the big bed. Wasn't sure I would be comfortable in that small bed but I was! I would highly recommend Jo's home if you are looking for something private and peaceful with a fantastic view.

Quietly nestled among the majestic oak trees, Villa Serena is the perfect retreat. The online pictures do not do it justice. The house, the pool, the view are outstanding and it is, in a word, charming. The furnishings exude comfort and lend themselves to old world charisma. Minutes away from all that Sonoma Square has to offer, it is the perfect respite after a day of sightseeing and wine tasting. Many thanks to Jo and Alana for sharing their home with us.

Villa Serena is a magnificent retreat in the secluded foothills above Sonoma. The lush landscape and views only add to the
beauty of this meticulously maintained home. Come only if you
appreciate not only good food and wine in this region, but seek
to soothe your soul as well!

Well, the photos made Villa Serena look great, but what we saw when we arrived was even more beautiful! Every aspect of this amazing villa feels like it was intentionally planned for the ultimate guest experience. The deck/balcony overlooking the valley was a definite highlight. Super comfy beds, luxury appointed bathrooms, and a serene pool topped it off! I would definitely recommend this home with 5 plus stars and hope I can visit again soon!

My friends and I had an amazing trip to Sonoma and really enjoyed this lovely home. Such a comfortable space, hanging out on the back patio area was the highlight with that stunning view! The photos don’t do it justice. Thank you so much to the hosts, and I’d definitely recommend you check out this home if you’re in the Sonoma area.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view!
We really enjoyed this house. It has possibly one of the nicest decks I have seen with a terrific view looking south over the valley. The house is very well decorated with many interesting touches. It is a little on the small side with just two small love seats in the living room. The one drawback is that there is only a tub in the master bath room. It was difficult trying to get 4 people who all like to shower in the morning every day in and out of one bathroom.

Stunning home and nice hosts
Jo and Alana have a lovely home. It is truly stunning. The deck and views are even more fabulous than the pictures. The check in process was easy and Jo was very detailed and communicative. We loved our stay and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lovely home- well cared for and excellent attention to details and “hotel-like” amenities that show thoughtful hospitality by the owner. Very clean with comfy linens and towels.
Bathrooms and laundry room were pristine… would have loved a second shower .. but we were able to arrange our laid back vacation schedule to accommodate all (4 adults)
Surprisingly close to town center but with the rapid uphill ascent you feel far far away from daily madness.
Gorgeous views from the lovely deck. Perfect breakfast spot!
Kitchen well appointed but never got to use - except for breakfast since so many excellent restaurants in town.
only wish our stay at this quiet and peaceful retreat had been longer.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful property.. would highly recommend for an adult get away

Perfect Little Vacation
Beautiful, well maintained property in the Mission Highlands with a great view from the deck. Villa Serena is just that, a serene, relaxing spot, immaculately clean with a jewel of a pool. Communication with Jo was more than excellent. We loved our time at the VS, it was always a pleasure to return "home" after our days exploring lovely Sonoma. Thanks, Jo, for a magical stay.

Stunning, must-stay!
Villa Serena blew us away! I have so many lovely things to say about this place that I won't be able to fit it all. Villa Serena was the perfect way for our group of friends to immerse in quiet wine country. The pictures do not do it justice. The beauty of the house and gardens are only topped by the views from the deck and bedrooms in the morning. And when we went out to explore, it was a quick, scenic drive down the hill to Sonoma and very reasonable distance to Napa. Jo is a fabulous host as well, staying in great communication with us during the booking process and for the duration of our stay. The personalized note and bottle of wine upon arrival was a thoughtful touch! I wish we could have stayed forever. If you're considering Villa Serena for your trip, please book! You're in for an unforgettable experience.

My girlfriends and I had the most amazing stay. The home was lovely - private - and quiet. It was also fully stocked with plenty of dishes and extra towels. I will absolutely stay here again. With the pool and all of the outdoor space with panoramic views - it was like being at a resort.

House was very clean. Pool needs some love.
Instructions were easy to follow. No gate opener. Did advertise to use guest parking (not convenient when raining)
View is a little misleading off the back deck. 2 neighbors across the way, neighbors on each side, and across the street. Felt like a fishbowl and not as private as it seemed online.
If you're looking for downtown easy access Sonoma it's not the easiest. It's about 8 minutes from town center up on a mountain. Not walkable for a night out and there are no taxis or ubers passed 6pm up that way.
Check out instructions were easy. But the trash was supposed to be put in the bins and the landscaper put them into the garage the day before we left. We like to throw out our trash and complete instructions, but that was the only thing we didn't do.
Overall, okay stay. House was great, view was okay, and location was okay.
