Wow - there are so many things I want to rave about during our only 1-night stay the Olea Hotel. The hotel is definitely pricey, so it's not going to be for everyone. But they do a fantastic job of making it feel like it is worth the price. Some of my favorite aspects: 1) the room had an amazing fireplace 2) heated bathroom floors 3) extremely comfy linens 4) free wine in the lobby 5) hot tub 6) and the BREAKFAST. We came when it was raining all day so we didn't get to enjoy any of the outdoor seating/firepits but they looked very nice. If you're celebrating something with a significant

This is a cute little boutique hotel.
Went with a friend for a girls Sonoma weekend in December.
We got a 2 queen suite (these are only available on the 2nd floor and there is no elevator).
There's no spa but there is a massage room. We got deep tissue massages by Peter and they were amazing.
I was able to use their cyber Monday discount.
The complimentary 2 course breakfasts were amazing.
The service was great, all staff was very personable, professional, and kind! There are also super comfy robes in the closet, plus free snacks and a Brita water pitcher! This is how it should be done

We stayed here for 1 night while visiting the Sonoma area and had a peaceful and restful experience. We had Room 5 on the 2nd floor, king bed with fireplace. Enjoyed the outside fireplace area to relax and be with nature. The pool was heated and the jacuzzi was hot, perfect for our retreat. They have some wine and snacks available in the lobby when we arrived so we helped ourselves to a glass, and spiced curry nuts.
Bed was comfortable. Not many options to eat dinner around here so we opted for UberEats to deliver from Napa. You can choose any outside table to eat your meal and the staff here

Beautiful, friendly & tranquil. I had the best day here last week. The staff is absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. Friendly, knowledgeable about the area, great winery recommendations, perfect pool setting...the other guests were even amazing. I love this place! My massage by Peter was fantastic, and the breakfast...OMG the breakfast! I just can't say enough. Let these smiles say how much Mom & I enjoyed our stay.

Everything about the grounds and service was wonderful. Recommend not staying king Lower under lobby. When we first entered room(which is stunning) strong mold stench that never left after 2 days. I mentioned as I first checked in but unfortunately hotel was booked. We could have left only hoped it would improve(it did but never went away). Very sensitive to the smell so only downside.

This hotel was AMAZING! My husband and I stayed here in late June 2021. We splurged on the upper view king room and it was perfect. The views were relaxing as was the large soaking tub, heated bathroom floors, and fireplace for chilly mornings. Gourmet breakfast was included and the food was so good. Still craving the corn pancakes with peaches and ricotta! The staff was friendly and attentive. Great experience!

This is a hidden gem in wine country. I love that it has a luxurious feel, all while being comfortable and low key. It was an amazing place to stay for my wedding and I absolutely loved our cottage. The pool area was perfect and well, the breakfast delicious. Thank you for making my wedding weekend perfect! My friends and family were absolutely thrilled with the hotel and service. 5 stars all around!

We have been to Olea several times, and really enjoy our stays. They are a bit off the beaten path, so it's quiet and restful, with easy access to great dining and wineries. The included breakfasts are superb.
This last time we were planning a two night stay, and unfortunately, my wife was not feeling well at all, and we decided that we needed to leave after one night. Because of their 7 day cancelation policy, we fully expected to be charged for both nights, but they only charged us for the one night we used.
All the staff are welcoming and gracious. They continue to be our favorite place

TBH, the hubby and I are usually partial to hotel chains, bc we like "knowing the drill" and having consistent experiences. That said, when planning our anniversary getaway last month in Sonoma County, it wasn't easy finding a place that accepted dogs AND that had a pool/hot tub PLUS came with a long list of stellar reviews! Olea fit the bill, and I'm so happy we stayed there.
This B&B is a true gem! Our room was beautiful, immaculate, and so thoughtfully designed. Gretchen, Devesh, and Kent are the epitome of hospitality-- so genuinely warm and welcoming. The breakfasts

Stayed here for a night in early April 2021. Absolutely loved Olea. Devesh, who took great care of us throughout our stay, was kind enough to give us a call to make sure our check in process went smoothly since we were arriving a bit later in the evening. After checking in we were offered a complementary glass of wine which we absolutely said yes to.
Devesh walked us to our room and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. We were thrilled to hear the pool and spa were open 24/7. We quickly changed, put on their very nice and plush spa robes and headed to the pool with our glasses of

Gosh, this is a rough one. I am hovering between four stars and five. Everyone raves about it on Yelp and I would give it five stars for customer service for sure. Everyone goes way out of their way to assist you. Hosts are incredibly gracious and patient with weary (and yes, I was cranky) travelers.
After arriving to be disappointed at the appearance of the hotel (you enter onto a vast parking lot and on that drizzly day the hotel seemed average and unimpressive), the desk staff were very helpful. But for the price (I found a good discount but then there was that hidden resort fee so trendy

This was a really cute quick getaway for my birthday weekend. The king room we had modern with heated floored bathrooms. I loved that they provided my dog with a bed (that was too small but it was really cute!) and a jar full of snacks for her along with bowls for food and water. The location was tucked away on a hillside, that night we sat by the fire pit and a family of deer causally sauntered around foraging for food. Breakfast provided was amazing, definitely will be back to experience a little bit more of it. Unfortunately that night there were staff hanging out in the jacuzzi and I didn

We recently came back to the hotel for an overnight getaway. The same excellent rooms and service still exist. We were warmly welcomed when we checked in and were offered some juice and coffee. Luckily they were able to accommodate an early check in.
We got an upper view king room which had all the same amenities (water and snacks) and beautiful view. We got to enjoy the hot tub and sitting poolside (even though the pool was heated). The property even has a nice fire-pit area that runs all day.
We enjoyed a nice hike which is only a couple of miles away since wine tasting was not open.

Wow, where do I begin. Check in was seamless and the staff was so pleasant. Walking into our room felt like a picture in a magazine. All the beautiful details to make the room feel luxurious and cozy at the same time. Heated floors, indoor/outdoor fire place, spacious tub, furniture was modern and decorated beautifully but best of all, spotless. The room felt like we had been the first ones to use it. During this time, having a clean space makes you feel at ease to be there. I can't say enough about the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure any accommodation and need was met. We have

In times of COVID-19, a mini getaway goes a long way. Olea hotel not only met my criteria (pet friendly, soaking tub, convenient location), I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by the details of our stay.
Complimentary breakfast was by far the most memorable. Their house chef is masterful with the menu; definitely flavors we've never considered or had for breakfast! The room we stayed in was very spacious and had a nice patio where we ate all of our meals. They also included pet food and water bowls, a cute bed, and tons of milk bones for our pooch. Water pressure is powerful and the

Olea is a solid 3.75 star place and to be clear, I do really like this place and would come back and recommend...
Pros:
- The #1 thing I look for is clean room, even cleaner bathroom and good water pressure in the shower; Olea checked all the boxes!
- Updated, modern rooms (but the pet friendly rooms are quite small). I was alone with my dog and I think if I had another person in there, it would feel too tight.
- The plush bed, bowls and dogs treats were so appreciated!
- Though fully booked, the place was quiet and peaceful. I usually had the entire courtyard to myself, which was nice so

Returning home from 2 days spent in wine country and 1 night at Olea, I told my son about my experience and he remarked how he much preferred Sonoma County over Napa County. Sonoma County, especially in winter, is intimate, accessible and feels more available to all people as opposed to a certain socio-economic bracket of folks. It feels like Napa County once did, before that son was born. Sonoma is a snug glove on a chilly day where Napa is more a wrap that you must keep securing to make sure you're covered.
If Sonoma County is all that, Glen Ellen is one snug, warm little finger in that

This place is so cute...a literal hidden gem located near downtown Glen Ellen in Sonoma, CA.
We were greeted at the front desk by Gretchen, who then led us to our room on the first floor of the middle building. We had our dog with us, so we had requested a dog friendly room. It on the small side with a queen bed, but had beautiful, grey hard wood floors and they provided us with a dog bed, treats, and bowls for food and water. Madison, our Pug, loved that bed!! In fact, we loved our human bed, too. It was very comfortable.
We enjoyed the firepit and the grounds just before the wine reception

Talk about the ultimate romantic retreat and R&R in the heart of Glen Ellen. I sure miss the heated floors. We used to visit Morton Warm Springs when kids were little to go swimming...we love this area. The beautiful historic cottages were burned down in the October 2017 Northern CA wildfires; the entire property suffered some smoke damage and many olive trees were destroyed (Olea is Latin for olive).
