Just Don't Do It.
We stayed at this property for a special celebration and were extremely disappointed. The home was clearly not properly cleaned — coffee stains on the floor, fecal matter left in toilets, urine stains in carpets, dirty dishes in the cabinets, clumps of hair and dirt in bathrooms, and large cobwebs filled with dead bugs. Walls throughout the home were stained and scuffed, giving it a neglected, unsanitary feel.Security was an issue: the master, where several women stayed had a doorknob that could be detached. Instead of fixing critical repairs, the host simply posted labels. To make matters worse, maintenance workers were on the property throughout our stay, making guests feel even more uncomfortable given the broken locks.The pool and hot tub were not maintained properly. The pool filter was detached when we arrived, and we had to fix it ourselves. Even after providing the mandatory detailed heating schedule, the hot tub was sometimes cold and the host was unresponsive. When contacted, he blamed overuse earlier in the day — despite agreeing to turn it on for two sessions during the frigid day.The 20/hour hot tub fee is unreasonable, especially since it takes about an hour just to heat up. Just raise the nightly price.When these issues were raised, the host was dismissive and unapologetic. This experience was misrepresented, and the poor conditions and lack of care ruined our experience. I would not recommend staying here unless major improvements are made.

Little slice of paradise
My wife and my sons (6 and 7) came to Temecula and stayed at this property for 9 days. The home is absolutely beautiful and well kept. Micheal was a great host and was more than accommodating. The pool and backyard area was amazing. The area is private and the views are unbelievable. I had coffee outside every morning outside and enjoyed the view. Pool and hot tub were great. Clean and the temp was perfect. Kitchen is stocked with high end appliances and all the cookware and dishes you could ever. We would definitely stay here again.

Wedding Weekend Fun
Yes,this is a gorgeous property; however it is in need of a little TLC. The furnishings are wonderful except, they are a little worn and in need of cleaning or replacement. Also, the toilets in the bathroom: three of the flushers kept falling off and the seats were old and yellow. The luxurious sheets in the master had holes in them. There are rules to follow with heating the pool, jacuzzi and grill which are cumbersome. So, yes the property is beautiful but in need of serious maintenance. We had a great time even though........

Large home and stunning sunsets
The photos in the listing don’t do the size of this house justice- it is so large and spacious! The decor was a bit dated for my personal taste, but the furnishings were comfortable and functional. The inside of the house is just an appetizer to the delicious and amazing views on the back patio and yard. You can view the hot air balloon launches in the morning and watch gorgeous sunsets in the evening. The pool furniture is abundant and very comfortable. There is plenty of outdoor living space for warm days/nights! Check in was seamless with a digital door code and the size was perfect for a group of 10!

For the last 10 years we have taken our family on a getaway between Christmas and New Years. My husband and I say to our kids/grandkids "this is our gift to you, and your gift to us is coming along and spending time together!". Villa Serenita was just perfect for us, especially as far as size for our group, and proximity of where we all live. We would love to return in the summer!
