Hotel La Villa Serena

We stayed here last year and chose to return this year because Villa Serena is a special place. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place to relax with a book and observe the volcano El Fuego. The courtyard is full of pretty flowering plants and has nice little tables where breakfast is served. We have stayed on the main level as well as on the upper level and enjoyed each room. The hotel is in a very quiet area and we were never bothered by noises. This is a well-run hotel and everyone who works there is kind and professional.

The beauty of the place was extraordinary -- views of the volcanoes and sunsets from the 2 rooftops, as well as the gardens inside. Room was just fine -- one of my friends said her bed was hard -- but overall all 5 of us were totally delighted with our stay, and the staff could not have been sweeter or more accommodating of a number of special requests.

Everything and everyone! We stayed in the smallest room for three days and one of the largest rooms for a week and both rooms were pretty and functional. We consistently had hot showers. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. The property is located in a quiet residential area so it is a bit of a walk to restaurants but that meant it was very quiet at all times.

Being situated slightly outside of the main area, it was very quiet at nighttime, but still only a very short walk, less than 10 minutes into Antigua main streets. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, we booked all our Antigua tours and transfers through them with no issues. The breakfast and breakfast area are also lovely, would highly recommend the Chapin breakfast!

Villa Serena is a beautiful small boutique hotel with abotu 10 rooms. The hotel and rooms are nice but the highlight is the small interior plaza for sitting, eating breakfast, working, etc. Our rate included breakfast each morning which was delicious. There is also a wonderful rooftop terrace with city and volcano views. The staff were wonderful.
