After spending months on a massive remodeling project in 2017, Villa Serenidad is now nearly perfect. Expanding upon the open design of the original house, we drastically increased the patio / terrace, refinished the pool, added a roof to a portion of the patio, increased and opened up the parking area, built a massive retaining wall to keep it all in place and refurbished most of the original house, among about a thousand other little things.

In addition, we shipped in a number of amenities from the USA including outdoor full length loungers, lounge chairs and table chairs.

If you’ve never had the pleasure to visit Atenas or elsewhere is Costa Rica, may we suggest a stay at Villa Serenidad? We’ve been receiving rave reviews from everyone who has visited and we’re sure you won’t be disappointed.
