We had an exceptional time at Mattei’s. We went for our “babymoon” and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome & truly made it such a memorable experience. Upon our arrival, Dante, the front desk manager, organized two darling gifts for our twins-on-the-way, as well as a gift for our 2 yo daughter. He also had non-alcoholic champagne sent to our room with a handwritten note. It was such a thoughtful, generous, and special way to welcome us to the property. Joe and Chris at the front desk were also very accommodating, as was Elizabeth, who gave us a generous late check out. Maya at the Tavern was very personable and generous with her time. Everyone we interacted with was kind, welcoming, unassuming, and very helpful. The grounds are meticulously maintained and just simply beautiful, food was delicious, rooms were spacious and decorations were thoughtfully curated, service from all staff members was spectacular, location was super convenient, and overall it was an incredible stay. We will *absolutely* be back, and we hope this review finds its way to management so they can recognize and reward their staff members across the board for creating an exceptional guest experience.

Was served unedible raw meat at a wedding dinner party. Worst food and service ever!

What an absolute fabulous weekend getaway. The resort is gorgeous. The staff is exceptional. We did a daily hike, walked to wine tastings, enjoyed a glass of wine by the many fire tables and ate fabulous food. This is honestly one of the best weekends I’ve ever had. We will most definitely be back. Get the burger or the chicken sandwich for lunch and the rotisserie chicken for dinner. 10/10 amazing place. Thank you for an incredibly relaxing time away.Nearby activities: Hiking, wine tasting, shopping

Our server James was fantastic! The food was, of course, delicious! And we did order cocktails... which were unique and delicious, too! And, as a bonus, we bought their "Mattei's Tavern" branded lotion that we fell in love with after using their restrooms. Even though the complex was closed for an event, the Gift Shop was able to provide exceptional guest service and delivery the product to our car. We'll be back!

Such an amazing place! The design and decor are exceptional. Feels like a modern take on old California. No attention to detail has been overlooked. We will be back.

Top notch — a six-star candidate! Auberge Resorts has done a remarkable job at reinventing Mattei’s Tavern as a destination inn and restaurant. Every aspect of our stay was excellent. The service was very personal and professional without exception (the bartender created a specialty cocktail just for us!). The room was new, immaculate, well appointed and more than comfortable—great bed and linens. The handwritten greeting card with a bowl of tasty olives and nuts was a nice touch. The bar has great ambiance and the specialty cocktails are excellent—try the Tumbleweed, a creative concoction served only here! Dinner at The Tavern was superb, from the warm bread to the Blue Fin Tuna Tartare to the Chocolate Soufflé. In between we had two of the best fish entrees we’ve ever had—the Ocean Trout and the Halibut special—both were indescribably delicious! Breakfast the next morning also did not disappoint. We did not use the pool or the gym on this trip but both were very inviting. We would love to see them expand the offerings at their small gift shop. The parting gift is another nice touch—a deck of Mattei’s branded pinochle playing cards. Mattei’s is within easy walking distance of all that Los Olivos offers, including enjoyable shopping and 20-25 wine tasting experiences. We can’t wait to return!

Fabulous hotel experience. I am most grateful for how dog friendly they were! It made it easy to dine and swim even with my canine companion around.Other highlights:1) clean spacious rooms2) gas fire pits for every first floor room3) turndown treats including cookies, bourbon taffy, and lavender sachets4) very comfy poolside chairs5) fast and friendly service6) champagne on arrival7) coffee shop on site with very good drinks and muffins - try the chocolate banana muffin and season syrups!8) proximity to coffee shops and restaurants in town9) gourmet food at the tavern - get the “bread for all”10) easy access to solvang, hikes, playgroundsWater pressure in the showers was low. Lavender everywhere which I am unfortunately allergic to. Would love to go back but the price is sure to climb as folks learn about this new find.
