    I cannot agree more. The Villa Serendip is truly the best bed and breakfast we have found anywhere. Fran knows the Finger Lakes inside and out and how to get everywhere. We just spent our honeymoon there and it was awesome. Incredible.

    We stayed at the Villa Serendip for our anniversary and it was absolutely incredible. Fran goes out of her way to make everyone feel so much at home. The food is wonderful and the house is rich in history and decorated just as it might have been in the Victorian era. We cannot wait to go back and highly recommend this Finger Lakes b&b to everyone. There was even a family there when we stayed and we didn't even know it until Sunday morning when we all found ourselves eating at the same time in the dining room.
