Olea Hotel

What a great stay at the Olea. We needed to completely veg out and this was the perfect environment. We hung at the pool, napped, sipped some complimentary wine & snacks, shuffled down to the Star for dinner, and slept in cozy beds. Breakfast is raved about for good reason- it is perfect. Not too heavy but absolutely delicious, fresh and creative with great coffee. Every staff member we interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful, and the grounds are just beautiful. Jack London park right nearby has a pretty little hike in the redwoods. The Olea is a true boutique gem in wine country- a smaller family owned place with classy personality over a fancy corporate resort feel.

Just know the Warm Springs Road is so pretty but a tad busy and there will be a little bit of road noise. Not a deal breaker at all. The front desk provides flash lights if you want to walk down to the Star but we didn’t think it felt safe with traffic & no sidewalks, day or night. But it is just a two minute drive so no big deal.

Pool and hot tub 24/7 access was wonderful. Comfortable bed. Soft,clean linens. Bathrobes were so incredible I purchased one to take home. The staff were so helpful. The breakfast was delicious-took special care to note my dietary needs and we had fresh Californian ingredients. The wine and light snacks in the afternoon made it even more special, with local wines which was a huge bonus. Restaurant at the top of the road was DELICIOUS! Ample parking, beautiful grounds!

Being in a downstairs room we could occasionally hear upstairs- minor issue for us

Loved the location, rooms, pool, hot tub. Breakfast was great and staff were amazing.

My only complaint is staying in a lower floor with a room above us we could hear all of their footsteps and movement which woke us up numerous times throughout the stay.

Breakfast was amazing! The Hotel and staff were outstanding. The location is a bit remote but you can walk to Glenellen, though the road is not ideal for walkers. Overall a great Hotel. Free snacks, wine and coffee each day was wonderful.

We were in a first floor room and the foot noise overhead was quite loud. The noise stopped at a reasonable time, so just for awareness. Also just for awareness, since the hotel is small there is no early check in. They are nice about allowing you to use the grounds to wait or set up a tasting at a nearby winery to pass the time.

Very nice staff, excellent two course breakfast, great room with very comfortable beds, great restaurant within walking distance (Glen Ellen Star), pool and hot tub heated, equipped with very comfortable loungers and open 24 hrs, free wine and coffee in the afternoon, nice outdoor lounge area. It's an expensive stay but so are the most of the hotels in the area. I would highly recommend staying here.

The pool area could be made a little nicer. Currently a bit too concrete heavy. More flowers/olive trees could make the area nicer.

The Olea was easy to find....located in a peaceful area of Glen Ellen. Walking distance to the main streets of town where there are lovely restaurants. Breakfast was fantastic, changing each day and delicious. Staff was phenomenal with suggestions, calling for spur of the moment wine tasting, lanterns for evening walks...heated bathroom floors...room refreshing to have beds made and everything wiped down --- the little things made a huge difference on top of the hotel being lovely.

Traffic could be a little loud when in a room facing the pool, surprisingly so for such a quiet area. Very sporadic though! I wish there were a few more hooks in the bathroom for robes post-pool.

This is an incredible property, selected for our honeymoon in Napa Valley and surroundings. This hotel is one of the reasons of the fantastic experience we have lived. Breakfast (gourmand two course meal, changing every day), service, warmth, room (spacious and what a design!), everything - literally everything - gave us a smile, several times per day.

N/A

The front desk personnel were extremely helpful. I accidentally left my computer in the room and traveled home and they treated it and me like royalty - helping me find, box, and return my computer to me via UPS. They treated my things like their own and were very communicative and helpful. I am forever grateful for Doris, Joesph, and David. The Eucalyptus steam room and dry sauna were amazing - like a tier 1 health club. At a very lower room price and walking distance to downtown - value-wise our stay was a great experience. After they replace the pool they will be top tier.

The pool and jacuzzi - although having great mineral springs water and VERY warm has old pool walls - a little dirty. And the pumps were loud and constant (that pump mineral water). But VERY relaxing. As I understand it- mgmt is going to move the pool and jacuzzi to a new location and both will be brand new. That will make this hotel high grade in my humble opinion.

Location is great - super central to a lot of vineyards and wineries. Service was very friendly and attentive as well. We really appreciated the hot coffee, tea, and wine bar that was generally available to guests until 9pm. Breakfast was *delicious*, albeit way too little. Two-course "meal" - for us, a scone with condensed milk and a calconne with fried egg on top. Both were so delicious, but I was still hungry by the end. Hot tub and heated pool were great as well.

The room was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, and I kind of question if we actually had a queen bed (seemed smaller than the one I have at home!). I'd say the nightly rate is definitely in the mid-to-higher end and the room size did make it feel like we didn't quite get bang for our buck. The driveway did NOT feel safe to come out of. There is absolutely no visibility until you're basically on the road, which is so dangerous because cars do speed down the highway. Would really recommend the hotel consider reconstructing the driveway given the steep slope you come down from to get onto the highway.

The hotel was just gorgeous. The room was modern, clean, calm and quiet, and the place has a beautiful pool and hot tub. The staff were all very warm and inviting. And, the breakfast was amazing too - with 2 courses of delicious, beautifully plated food, made with local, fresh ingredients, and they were really flexible with dietary needs too.

Parking could be a little tight if you have a very large vehicle.
