Villa Serenova

Our Story

Est. 1998

A Vision of
Timeless Beauty

Villa Serenova was born from a simple dream: to create a place where discerning travellers could find not just comfort, but genuine restoration. In 1998, the Marchetti family transformed a 19th-century lakeside manor into what has become one of Europe's most awarded boutique hotels.

Each expansion — from the addition of the spa pavilion in 2004 to the opening of Restaurant Séréna in 2011 — has been guided by the same principle: never compromise, never rush. Quality takes time.

Today, 25 years on, Villa Serenova stands as a testament to what is possible when passion and purpose align. We remain family-owned, fiercely independent, and committed to the art of welcome.
