General Manager Heike Pacchetti deserves special recognition. She took the time to listen, talk with us, and make sure we genuinely felt cared for. No request ever seemed like too much, and the personal attention she gave us made our stay feel truly special. We also had the opportunity to experience Maréla, Liora's new restaurant, which had only recently opened. It added another wonderful dimension to our stay and made the experience even more memorable. Beautiful surroundings are easy to appreciate, but what stays with you is how people make you feel. That's what Heike and the team at Liora gave us. We left feeling like we'd found a place we'd genuinely like to return to. Jasi & Bill

This review is for the AirBnB Vacation Rental, NOT the Bed & Breakfast…read more Our 5 night rental included the 3bdr, 2ba Farmhouse in front and the 1bdr, 1ba Arrowhead Cottage in back. Both had coffee makers, microwave and small refrigerators. Both spots were super clean, showers were great and the place was stocked with everything you could need in the Farmhouse kitchen. DONT buy olive oil, there's lots in the bottom of the serviette! The owner Jennifer provided solid communication and addressed any issues promptly. The property offers a pool (unheated) hot tub, fire-pit, grill and a wood burning stove in the Farmhouse. While we ate out most nights our grill night was great. It's a bit rustic, so wifi & tv are spotty but our cell service was perfect. Dishwashing is by hand. We would definitively stay here again!

Scarlett's is not about fancy modern décor, upscale Ralph Lauren country accoutrements, or…read moreexquisitely manicured grounds. Scarlett's is definitely more rustic than country chic, but it is utterly charming, the proprietors warm, and their dogs loveable and friendly. Staying here definitely feels like staying with close family or friends. Scarlett's is nestled back from the Silverado trail and accessed via a narrow, one-car gravel road. There is no prominent signage from the road except for some a nice of red reflector lights above the house sign - useful when driving at night along the poorly-lit Silverado. There are only 3 sets of accommodations available - ranging from the smallest Arrowhead Room (and most inexpensive) to largest (Camellia Suite) a few steps away from the main house where breakfasts are served and the pool/ hot tub is accessed. As other folks have mentioned, breakfasts are delicious - French toast, chicken apple sausage, fresh-squeezed OJ (lots of pulp!), coffee and fresh fruit on Day 1; poached eggs, bacon and warmed breads assortment with more fruit, coffee and juice on Day 2. We reserved the Gamay suite in advance and were upgraded to the Camellia suite when we arrived - the Inn was not full that weekend, perhaps since it was still a bit off-season. The Gamay and Camellia are attached as one structure and we were allowed to take a peek at both to make up our minds as to where we wanted to stay. The Camellia Suite is a full ground floor, and includes a large living room connected to a "wet bar" consisting of sink, dishwasher, microwave, and teeny tiny fridge which housed OJ, yogurt, vitamin waters; there was a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen table. The bedroom features a Queen-sized bed and a darling window seat that was perfect for perching, reading & netbooking. Derek showed us around since Scarlett (his mother) was away at a champion water-skiier's convention. He very thoroughly showed us through the rooms we were to choose from, and when we finally settled on the Camelia, he went through the quirks specific to our home for 2 days...(heater in the LR tends to run warm; the fire is easily started in the old fashioned wood stove; free Wifi is available, but not great for downloading large files). He showed us how to operate the hot tub, and kept it warm/ on for us for the couple of days that we were there. The property is surrounded by some beautiful woods that are great for a nice & easy rambling hike - the dogs are likely to join you and the littlest - Chewie - will probably stay with you the entire time. So many thoughtful little details - the umbrellas by the door, the coffee maker and various creams and sugars; the extra linens and pillows in the large wardrobe, the umbrellas by the door (which were really helpful for the deluge on our last day there) etc.

And we were able to meet new people and make friends. The fresh cookies baked were a plus, we loved the espresso machine and water taps all over the property. Between 5-6pm There is a wine hour! With a free tasting and snacks. You really do not need to go anywhere, there are restaurants in 2-10 minutes with an uber drive. I absolutely love this place so much. I want to come back soon.

After a few days here, I can say we especially enjoyed taking advantage of the Sonoma sunshine with pool time, lounging, and relaxing. A few things that stood out: * A pretty good midweek (& last minute) room price * An included breakfast bar * Plenty of pool towels * A large jacuzzi with waterfall open around the clock * Port wine and homemade cookies in the evenings * Local Wine tasting onsite from 5 to 6 pm * Multiple public fireplaces * Coffee bars and water & sparkling water There are many little touches that make it easy to settle in. Full disclosure, I am in their target demographic, wanting a comfortable, low key getaway with thoughtful amenities. Particularly good for a midweek stay and can get pricey otherwise. Sometimes an unexpected change of plans turns out surprisingly well.

You can borrow bicycles. They greet you with complimentary sparkling wine and cookies upon arrival. In the late afternoon there's a wine and cheese appetizer layout. A couple seating rooms, a balcony with gas fire pit. Just an incredible place to relax. Very close to wineries, tasting, and day spas. The room was nice. We had #7 which is top floor facing Yount St. spacious and nice bathroom. Seating by the window to day dream or read. There was one issue that bugged me a bit... the floor was very creaky. I was so worried of bothering the people below all the time. I gore is to find solid spots to step around, walked gently in my toes, etc, but the creaking persisted. The device as so friendly. Everyone. The breakfast was what I'd call continental plus. Waffles, bagels, pastries, yogurt, fruits, and nuts. Plus a cheese and veggie quiche type of dish. Dining area elegantly laid out and delicious food. Nice people stay here too, and we found conversations with a couple couples. I would definitely return to stay again.

The staff was consistently welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home.

Plenty of places to find quiet time on the grounds as others mentioned. The owners did a great job with plants and chairs on the property. There is a pool but too short for laps so I just did calisthenics. Saw others using the hot tub. The kitchen staff accommodated my husband's dietary needs. Everyone was friendly and checked into our needs from the front desk, kitchen, and cleaning staff. Good to hear that they were able to save their property during the fires because of the sprinkler system. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Especially liked the inside shutters on the windows (which all had screens to keep the bugs out). Breakfast was simple but filling and they give you a sweet and savory course. I've read complaints that it wasn't "fancy" enough but felt creative enough for us and everything was perfectly cooked, so no complaints. They also left a birthday card and chocolates for my husband's birthday which was lovely. Three or four different wines are available in the afternoon, through the evening. There is a public "living room" with a fireplace, games, and lots of brochures of the area. We are sensitive about barking dogs but didn't experience any during our stay. We could hear the guests next door through the bathroom wall on occasion but just closed the door and it was fine. This hotel is within walking distance to the town center (although, no sidewalk) and has a fairly large grocery store and cafes/restaurants. Jack London Park is a must see. There is no staff on site after 9 pm (till 7:30 am) but it wasn't a problem for us. They do leave contact info for guests. I don't see this as a place to get rowdy and we experienced guests being respectful and polite. All in all a very pleasant experience to be in nature but with modern amenities.

But first, the good: their accommodations remain fabulous. We stayed in the Upper Poolside Cottage (Room 10) and it's just wonderful. The Comphy sheets are just heaven. Their bath towels are also plush and luxurious. Two thumbs up for in-room linens! Heated floors in the bathroom and 2-sided fireplace provide nice warmth and comfort. Complimentary snacks and fizzy water in the mini fridge are a nice bonus, too. The poolside cottages are the cat's meow, and just a short hop to the pool and hot tub. But there are several things that I noted during our last visit that made me feel like maybe this may have been our last visit to the Olea. First, there was a goodly amount of trash strewn about the property. At the hot tub, there was a wine bottle cap on the bench (I know, wine country, to be expected, right?), but what truly grossed me out was the wad of used athletic wrap right next to the hot tub. Blech! As I grabbed both of these items and took them to the trash (all of five or six steps from where they had been scattered), I noticed even more bits of trash in the corner area near the planters. Like more trash than would be expected by just one party being messy. (Also, the planter area was weedy and just seemed neglected.) I dismissed it as just not getting some needed attention, until I returned to our cottage and noticed several more pieces of trash right by our front door that I had missed earlier. And apparently so did housekeeping and management. Plus broken tree limbs atop the roof of the main building. And a huge rip in one of the pool lounge chair pads. And a very large hole (~3") in a pool towel. Just signs of general neglect and subpar for this place, especially at their price point. Second and perhaps even more disappointing is how much the included breakfast service has changed. It's gone from a 2-course, made-in-house gourmet affair to a continental style DYI breakfast, apparently now even on the weekends. The only thing made to order is the avocado toast (for obvious reasons). For those guests who hadn't enjoyed the previous offerings, perhaps it doesn't seem too bad. Nice spread. But I sorely miss the delectable morning meals and the awesome homemade chai along with the service for breakfast. I'd give this an updated 3.5 stars but will round up to 4 because I still really want to love this place. Also, Star provided friendly and welcoming service at the front desk, which was appreciated.

The room was off the front porch and the first night we got no sleep because porch lights stayed on all night long.

I tried to be as well. We checked out on good terms, and would consider going back; but not to that room. Other than that, breakfast both mornings was delicious, the service was great, and the bed was very comfortable. Just beware the Lavender porch room. Trust me.
