Reviews for Bernardus Lodge and Spa
Wonderful welcoming experience.
Great friendly experience. The staff always remembers us from previous stays and always makes us feel truly welcomed. The service is always top notch. The complimentary snacks and beverages in the room are definitely an added bonus.

Perfect Venue for a Business Meeting
Our two-day business meeting was exceptional. BJ, the manager, and his team went above and beyond, constantly checking on us and making sure everything ran smoothly. Every staff member we encountered was professional, friendly, and courteous. Dinner at the restaurant was outstanding. Chef Gus created an amazing menu, and both the food and service were exceptional. The beautiful location made the experience even more memorable. We truly appreciate the outstanding hospitality and look forward to returning!

Even better the second visit
This was my second stay at Bernardus, and it was somehow even better than the first. The grounds are extraordinary — beautifully designed, deeply cared for, and full of small details that make the property feel peaceful without ever feeling staged. I spent a lot of time just walking the gardens, enjoying the views of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the vineyards, and the quiet rhythm of the property. The food was also excellent. Lucia continues to be a highlight, and even the more casual meals felt thoughtful and high quality. The local ingredients, the cheeses, the fruit, the meats, and the little touches like Meyer lemon chutney were all memorable. The spa was lovely, the service was warm and polished, and the whole stay had that rare feeling of being both luxurious and genuinely relaxing. Bernardus is the kind of place where the setting, food, gardens, and hospitality all work together. I left already looking forward to returning.

"The Bernardus Lodge was wonderful. My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend at the lodge and found it very relaxing, romantic and the service was beyond exceptional. They were attentive to every need and always made us feel like their top priority. We also visited the spa and had a wonderful experience. We will definitely go back!"
