About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Amazing Get-Away! Enjoy the Views! Relax on Deck or by Pool. Minutes to Plaza.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy some quality time at Villa Serena, our relaxing, peaceful, sacred retreat. 2 night minimum stay except over major holidays which require a 3 night minimum stay.

Villa Serena is located in the prestigious Mission Highlands, just a six minute drive from the historic Sonoma Plaza. As you begin your ascent up the hill you will be transported into a world of quiet tranquility.

Our luxurious private residence, surrounded by majestic oaks, olive trees and Chinese maples offers secluded privacy with sweeping views of the Sonoma Valley and Mount Tamalpais.

Beautifully appointed, with impeccable attention to detail, our home is comfortable and soothing while aesthetically pleasing to the Soul. All rooms have cathedral high ceilings which fill with light while displaying stunning views of our natural gardens or the sprawling landscapes below.

Relax in the calming, inviting living room with its stone wood-burning fireplace or
dine in the glass solarium under the oaktrees on a moonlit night.

Indulge in a mid-morning brunch outside on the spacious deck with captivating views. Cook in our fully equipped kitchen, then take a break in the lovely sitting nook and sip on some wine.

Rest in our gorgeous master bedroom and admire the view, complete with a fully remodeled en-suite bathroom and soaking tub.

Read a good book in our cozy guest room with breathtaking views and get comfy in the luxurious bedding and linens. Pamper yourself in the newly remodeled guest bathroom with a soothing full streaming shower.

The open writer's den offers additional sleeping for two on the comfortable queen sleeper sofa with beautiful views out to the enchanting pool garden.

The glorious refreshing pool in its lush garden setting beckons you on warm summer days and nights and is a tranquil haven for meditation and renewal.

Once you've experienced the magic at Villa Serena your Spirit will be touched by the Grace it bestows and like many of our guests, perhaps you will find yourself returning year after year.

May your journey to Villa Serena be filled with Peace, Joy and Serenity.

Warmest Regards,
Alana and Jo

What a gorgeous home! We had such a lovely and peaceful stay at Villa Serena. The views were amazing, and so nice to be surrounded by nature. The pool was just what we needed after a day of exploring, shopping, and wine tasting. This place is the best. Thank you!

This is a lovely home. It was clean, comfortable and has so many spaces to relax and enjoy. The view out the back is beautiful and the pool in the front was very welcome on several hot days. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful stay in wine country!!

This was the perfect accommodation for the perfect trip! The pictures online did not do this property justice!! We absolutely loved the house and our stay. The natural lighting, coffee on the deck in the morning. Perfect! Only thing we could have wished for more would have been a heated pool this time of year. But we loved being up high with a view of Sonoma!

This was an amazing stay for my 27th birthday with friends! The host was super nice and responsive and even welcomed us with a bottle of champagne for my birthday- it was so sweet! It was super close to the wineries we planned for tastings but tucked away with the most stunning mountain views! Best of both worlds truly!! Would definitely come back and stay here! 10/10

The Perfect Place for a Wine Country Trip

My fiancé, my friend, and I stayed here after four long days of hiking at Yosemite. To say this home is relaxing and tranquil is an understatement. The home is gorgeous and quiet, the views are immaculate, and Jo and Alana could not have been better hosts. It’s a 10 minute drive at most to downtown Sonoma and there is so much to do and see around the area. We definitely look forward to staying here again!

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.
