Olea Hotel

This is truly an exceptional hotel that is positively different from big, cooperative run hotels in Napa country. My husband and I came here for our 10 years wedding anniversary to enjoy serene and romantic weekend and our choice to stay here really made our experience unforgettable. We were welcomed with welcoming reception staff and complementary wines with snacks. We loved the hot jacuzzi which was empty, the pool is pretty cold but might be good in summer. The complementary breakfast was thoughtfully prepared and so amazingly delicious. My husband had veggie croissant and I had ham and cheese quiche. On top of that; they had pastries that tasted like they made at the site. I am usually not a big fan of French bakes but I ended up getting two croissants . We will definitely come back again !

Olea Hotel is a very peaceful low-key spot near “downtown” Glen Ellen. Very friendly staff, lots of amenities: pool & hot tub, nice breakfast, welcome wine, super-comfy beds and nice outdoor spaces offering both shade & sun. Rooms are attractive with fireplace and big tv.

I want to start by saying the staff at Olea are truly wonderful. The women at the front desk were incredibly welcoming, kind, and clearly work hard to create a positive guest experience. They are the highlight of the property. Unfortunately, I can’t give this stay more than two stars because of the gap between what we paid and what we received. We spent over $550 for a single night in a king room, plus an additional $120 to bring our dog (a fee that more than doubled between when we booked and our stay). That’s luxury pricing — but the experience didn't reflect it. The room did not have a king-size bed as advertised. The sheets felt low quality, and the bathroom was separated from the bedroom by a flimsy barn door that didn’t fully close — meaning zero privacy. The tub and shower were outdated and worn. One of the robes in our room was stained around the collar. The “free” breakfast, which is often a highlight at smaller inns, was only available for a narrow two-hour window — and we missed it. Even more frustrating, the breakfast is heavily advertised as a weekend highlight, but the actual serving window wasn’t mentioned when we booked. We were in town for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon, a major local event, and a luxury hotel would have anticipated this — offering extended hours or early morning coffee and light bites for guests with early obligations. Even a simple room service coffee option would’ve made a difference. That kind of thoughtful detail is what separates a true luxury experience from a standard one. None of this would be a dealbreaker if the hotel were priced like a typical three-star property. But Olea is charging luxury rates, and the experience just doesn’t match. It felt more like a dressed-up Best Western — with standout staff, yes — but not the $550+ experience we were led to expect.
