The Story Behind Serravilla

Welcome to Serravilla, where the essence of our business is rooted in the rich history of the Bozeman area. The name Serravilla is a fusion of two words: "serra," derived from the Latin word for mountain range, and "villa," meaning home. This combination encapsulates our commitment to providing a unique and elevated experience inspired by the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Bozeman.

Our small online business is dedicated to curating a selection of products that mirror the beauty and authenticity of this region. We believe in capturing the essence of a mountain retreat, whether through carefully crafted goods or artisanal products that reflect the spirit of the Bozeman community.

At Serravilla, we strive to bring the warmth and charm of a villa nestled in the mountains to your doorstep. Our collection is a testament to the craftsmanship, resilience, and natural splendor of the Bozeman area. Each product is thoughtfully selected to ensure a harmonious blend of quality, style, and a touch of rustic elegance.

As a small business deeply connected to our roots, Serravilla is not just a brand; it's a celebration of the landscapes, traditions, and values that make the Bozeman area truly special. We invite you to explore our curated offerings, each telling a story of the serra and villa that shape our identity. Thank you for joining us on this journey of connection.

  • Co-Founder, Chief Operating Officer

    Hi! I'm Alessandra Balyasny, the Chief Operating Officer at Serravilla. Prior to joining this venture, I spent the last three years immersed in the dynamic world of education, teaching middle and high school science classes in the beautiful Bozeman and Big Sky areas. My academic journey led me to Montana State University, where I earned a Bachelor's in Science, laying the foundation for my passion for knowledge and discovery.

    The inception of Serravilla is a manifestation of my desire for a creative outlet to express ideas and embrace the beauty of authenticity. Drawing inspiration from my father, whose unwavering dedication and entrepreneurial spirit have been a guiding light, I embarked on this journey to curate a collection that echoes the essence of the Bozeman region.

    As the COO of Serravilla, I am committed to bringing you products that not only reflect the natural splendor of our surroundings but also embody a sense of craftsmanship and authenticity. Join us on this adventure, where the love for the serra and villa converges to create a unique and elevated experience for our cherished community.

  • Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, Photographer

    Hi, I'm Mataya Foster, the CEO and Photographer behind Serravilla. Having graduated from Montana State University in 2021, my journey as a photographer has unfolded over the past three years. Hailing from the breathtaking landscapes of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I was immersed in an environment that fostered both a love for mountains and a deep appreciation for creativity.

    Serravilla is a product of my passion for capturing moments and creating art. Growing up surrounded by the majesty of mountains, I found inspiration in every corner, and this connection to nature and creativity has shaped my vision as a photographer.

    As the CEO of Serravilla, my mission is simple yet profound - to provide quality products that go beyond the ordinary. I believe that photography is not just about freezing moments in time; it's about enhancing people's confidence and enjoyment. Every product curated under the Serravilla umbrella reflects this commitment to quality and the desire to bring joy and confidence to those who experience our offerings.

    Join me on this visual journey as we explore the intersection of creativity, mountains, and the extraordinary moments that make life truly remarkable. Thank you for being a part of the Serravilla community.
