Capturing Antigua’s La Semana Santa celebration is a dreamy once in a lifetime experience. Being at Marina’s La Villa Serena, was like returning to my mother’s womb. Every aspect of our stay is so memorable – delicious, healthy, nutritious meals prepared with market-fresh ingredients, magnificent home setting with bursting colorful flowers and hammocks for relaxing after a long day of...

I was in Antigua during Holy Week with a team of colleagues. It happened that we had scheduled a week of work during the busiest time of year. Our rooms surrounded the central patio area. They were nicely sized and appointed. The staff was very accommodating to our needs. Marina was a fantastic host, giving us invaluable information about the... More

We visited Antigua in March 2013, this is a very quaint B&B, it has all the amenities of a hotel but much more welcoming and a more personal touch associated with a B&B. Marina and her staff were very accommodating of all our needs and offering their expertise of what tourist attractions to visit, helping us book etc. From the... More

We had originally reserved a room for the night at Chez Daniel, but upon arrival, we were told they were full and taken to La Villa Serena. To be honest, I was very confused about what was going on and felt like I had no control over the situation. None of this was Marina's fault. We thought Marina, the owner... More

I rarely write reviews - but La Villa Serena is too good not to rave about. I found Marina and her lovely B&B by a very funny coincidence. A friend of mine had photographed one of her friend's kids for a magazine before and when he heard that I will be traveling to Antigua, he asked me to stop by... More

Very cosy B&B just a 10 minutes walk away from the city center. The rooms are nicely decorated in different styles from all over the world. Although the room could have been a bit more spacious, this is well compensated by the nice courtyard garden and rooftop terrace, which offers amazing views over the city and its surrounding volcanoes. Breakfast... More

Let me just say that my wife and I were a little slow on booking a hotel before we arrived in Guatemala. We had a 12 hour layover at one particular airport on the way to Antigua and sent a mass email in hopes of acquiring accommodations. The one hotel that got back to us was La Villa Serena, and...

My stay at La Villa Serena in Antigua was the most pleasant experience of a lifetime. Beautiful room and courtyard, and romantic rooftop setting that offers exquisite views of the city skyline, the volcanoes (one puffing), rainbows, and lightening shows. Marina's hospitality far surpasses any experience I have ever had, and the food served is so delicious that I am... More
