A Truly Special Place in Turks & Caicos

Before our stay, Teresa told me that Rosso di Sera Villa was a special place. After spending a week there, I can honestly say she was absolutely right. Our stay was another reminder of why we love being members of ThirdHome. The opportunity to experience incredible destinations through the generosity of fellow homeowners is something we never take for granted, and this trip to Turks & Caicos will be one we remember for a very long time. Rosso di Sera Villa is unlike anywhere we have ever stayed. The open-air design creates an amazing connection to the surrounding environment, allowing the island breezes to flow naturally through the home and bringing nature right to your doorstep. Waking up to the sounds of birds, rustling palms, and the gentle Caribbean breeze quickly became one of our favorite parts of each day. The architecture is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly suited to its tropical setting. The location near Taylor Bay Beach was ideal for us. Just a short walk from the villa, Taylor Bay quickly became one of our favorite beaches anywhere in the world. The calm, crystal-clear turquoise water is simply breathtaking. Unlike many beach destinations, it feels quiet, natural, and untouched, allowing you to truly relax and appreciate the beauty of Turks & Caicos. Even now, after returning home, we still find ourselves talking about the island and looking back through photos. Turks & Caicos genuinely captured our hearts. The water, the scenery, the people, and the laid-back atmosphere made this one of the most memorable vacations we have ever taken. The villa offered plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. We loved the private pool, the well-equipped kitchen, the outdoor living areas, and the thoughtful layout that gives each bedroom its own bathroom. The home was stocked with everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. We also appreciated being able to enjoy the best of both worlds. Grace Bay's restaurants, shopping, and activities were only a short drive away, while the villa itself offered a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. For us, that balance was perfect. As with many tropical destinations, bringing insect repellent is recommended, particularly around the Taylor Bay area. We also found the home comfortable throughout our June visit and appreciated how the open-air design embraces the island's natural breezes and surroundings. Overall, Rosso di Sera Villa provided exactly the type of authentic island experience we were hoping for. It offered privacy, tranquility, incredible natural beauty, and a truly unique architectural experience that we will not soon forget. Thank you again, Teresa, for opening your home to fellow ThirdHome members. We are grateful for the opportunity and would gladly return in the future. You described it as a special place, and that's exactly what it is. Shannon Doell”

We were 4 couples spending a week for my 65 th birthday. The house was comfortable and had all we needed. Clean and excellent beddings and a kitchen which allowed us to BBQ and cook at home. We spend the majority of our evenings at the outdoor dining area by the pool. The house is located 50 yards from what must be one of the top 5 beaches in the Carribean. It is almost your own private bay. There is no need to go to touristy Grace Bay but I advise to rent a car since you are a car ride away from everything. It is on a private road and is being patrolled 24/7 which made us feel very safe. A couple of "Carribean quircks" occured but that goes with the territory. We would love to visit again since it was so relaxing and enjoyable . Our host was super nice and the property manager office was responsive ( Carribean style). Thank you Teresa for hosting us and "I soon reach" ”

Quiet Tropical Paradise

Rosso di Sera Villa was everything as advertised and more! Perched up high, with constant light sea breezes keeping the bugs down and making it very relaxing - no need for AC even though the home is equipped. The owner was easy and simple to work with. Checkin hassle free, well appointed home, ready to enjoy. The way every ThirdHome should be. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!”

Relaxing sunsets on Taylor Bay

After two decades we were pleased to return to Taylor Bay, previously a favorite getaway destination. Situated in the Chalk Sound/Silly Creek area of Provo, the ocean and accompanying beach are quiet and soothing, unlike the busy beach crashing surf of Grace Bay, for which the Turks and Caicos islands are famous. Villa Rosso di Sera was a spacious and comfortable place to relax. Its setting offered privacy, accentuated by thick vegetation that surrounded the villa. Taylor Bay is a short walk away, and the views from the house are restricted to Chalk Sound’s beautiful waters to the north. The villa is roomy, and Teresa has equipped it nicely with kitchen essentials and comfortable bedding. The pool is lovely and refreshing, and she makes a special effort to have a large number of beach towels for her visitors’ convenience. She also has a plethora of beach craft, toys and sporting equipment to assist guests in their recreational pursuits. A special touch is the large refrigerated water bottle dispenser that she provides for guests. This was welcomed since the temperature for the most part hovered at 80 degrees F. and above. On our first evening trip to and from Grace Bay, we learned the necessity of timing our drives to miss the rush hour traffic, which was caused by the restricted thoroughfare shared by Provo residents and visitors alike, leading to road jams at times. The Turks and Caicos is a unique island, and although Grace Bay is its signature tourist attraction, we prefer the quieter area away from the hustle and bustle about 30 minutes away. Teresa is a gracious and communicative host, and we were grateful for her advice when we needed it. Roso di Serra Villa “hits the spot” for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway experience. ”

Peaceful Paradise

It would be hard to imagine a more beautiful, peaceful place to spend spring break with our kids and grandkids. The villa is just steps from Taylor Bay beach with its soft white sand and knee deep shallows. Many a sand castle sprang up on shore over the course of a morning. Later in the day, family games back at the pool were enjoyed by all. Good restaurants are nearby, and Grace Bay shopping is just a 20 minute drive away, as is Smith's Reef for excellent snorkeling. The layout of the villa allows cooling breezes to flow through every room and kept us all comfortable. Whenever we had questions, the concierge was easily reached and able to help us with reservations and suggestions. All in all, an excellent home in which to lay back, appreciate the surroundings, and enjoy family camaraderie.”

What an amazing home

We had such a wonderful time at this home. The layout is so well thought out. This was the best location we’ve ever stayed in Turk, with in walking distance to Taylor beach. We highly recommend this property and its owners. ”

Resort vibes and golden sunsets

We spent an incredible week at Rosso di Sera Villa during our summer vacation with our daughters, aged eight and ten. This is the second property we've visited by the same owner, and once again, she proved to be a fantastic host. The house is beautifully decorated in a coastal style, located in a private and secure neighborhood. The home is spacious and filled with natural light. Each bedroom had its own air conditioning unit, comfortable beds, and top quality linens. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the Sonos system was built in. The community offers two tennis courts and private beach access to Taylor Bay, one of the island's most stunning beaches. We spent a lot of time there and made sure to never miss its magical sunsets. The house provided beach chairs, a cooler, snorkeling gear, and even kayaks, which we used a lot in Taylor Bay. Additionally, the villa was equipped with a Sono system, a hot tub, a pool with cool floats, a grill, and a beautiful pool deck—it felt like a private resort! The location was ideal, just twenty-five minutes from Grace Bay, where we found shops, restaurants, and water sports activities. It was also conveniently located twenty minutes from Smith's Reef, where we snorkeled with turtles and saw a variety of fish. Our host, Theresa, was very responsive before and during our stay, ensuring everything went smoothly. The property concierge was quick to reply and assist with any questions. The cleaning staff were also very helpful and professional, making the extra fee well worth it. Overall, our stay at Rosso di Sera Villa was unforgettable, and we highly recommend this property for a family-friendly vacation in Turks and Caicos. We can't wait to return! ”

Perfect vacation in paradise!

Rosso di Sera Villa was beautiful and Taylor Bay is now our favorite beach! The home had everything we could ask for and its location with a very short walk to beautiful Taylor Bay Beach was wonderful! The serenity of the south side of the island was just what we were looking for. The layout of the home was just right for us to couples to spread out, but have fun in the common areas as well. You could easily have three or four couples in this home. We hope to return again next year or two share this beautiful property with other friends! Thank you to Teresa for being an amazing host!”

A very special place

The host was so easy to communicate with. The home was beautiful and had the most amazing breeze. It’s perfectly situated between the lagoon and bay, a 2 minute walk to either. The beach is breathtaking, Turks and Caicos is a really special place, this home makes it even more special.”
