After reading all the excellent reviews on tripadvisor, it was clear to us that we HAVE to stay at the Casa Serene while passing through the Okanagan Valley. However, what a disappointment! Our bathroom had dark hairs all over the place (floor, bath tub, tiles, toilet, sink). This made us a bit suspicious and looking around, you started to doubt whether the towels had been washed at all. Everything looked a bit dingy....far away from spotless. The location of the place is beautiful and I've hardly been to a place where the stars have been shining more brightly than there. Unfortunately this beautiful scenery is a bit spoilt by the highway that passes by right down by the lake. We could hear the noise of trucks all night long. The hostess, Monica, was helpful in suggesting things to do the next day. However, we found her quite eccentric and fake. The breakfast looked good with all the fresh fruits, but there were so many fruit flies in the living room, you kept wondering whether the fruits were really fresh. I think this place really has a hygenic issue. I would say that the best days of Casa Serene are over.... but I do hope that I'm wrong and that the hostess was just tired at the end of the season and will pimp up the place again next spring when she returns back to the Okanagan Valley.
