The Inn at Mattei's Tavern, Auberge Resorts Collection

We stayed at Mattei’s Tavern from May 2–4, and sadly, it was our most disappointing visit — despite being our third time and the most expensive at $1,500 per night. One of the major issues was the presence of two large weddings during our stay. We were not informed in advance that these events would be taking place, and they completely overtook the common areas. It was nearly impossible to find a quiet place to relax or socialize. Finding our way back to our room with all the “private event” signs was even difficult. Our room had issues (a dirty towel and pillow, hole in the comforter, and noise from the room above late into the night), and the steam room at the spa was unexpectedly out of service. We also had billing problems at check-in and check-out, and the staff seemed inexperienced and unprepared. I reached out to the hotel twice afterward (directly to management and through the contact form) and never received a response. For a resort that claims to be five-star, this experience fell well short.

The hotel is just far enough from the main part of town to be quiet and relaxing, but close enough to walk to all of the shops, restaurants and tasting rooms. The room layout is great. The bathrooms are very separate from the sleeping and sitting area. When I called for the reservation, the woman I spoke with encouraged me to spring for an upstairs room. I'm glad we did, as it came with an outdoor patio that had a nice sitting area and fireplace. Being upstairs made it very private, and we were able to look out at the hills. The beds very extremely comfortable,and the amenities were fantastic. Housekeeping was very through and flexible with our comings and goings. The staff was friendly, and remembered us when we would was by.

The Inn at Mattei's Tavern features a beautiful property. The Tavern is really lovely inside and outside and the food and wine selections is great! The guest rooms are really nice and the venue was perfect. We enjoyed our son's wedding immensely!

We stayed here with a Backroads group, and overall loved it. The staff were fantastic from check in through meals. We were grateful to have a room in the inner court area, so our room was quiet and felt really cozy. The room was beautiful––it was spacious and very stylish/soothing, and the bed very comfortable. The pool area is fantastic, though the signs about diarrhea are a little off-putting; we did not see them at any other resort. We really enjoyed the easy access to town, and the history of the main house is so interesting! Our meal was family style and honestly was not great (chicken was bland, and fish a bit smelly), though breakfasts were. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would come back for the relaxed and beautiful setting and fun location.

FABULOUS RESORT!!! From the fabulous welcome at front desk to signature cocktail and GORGEOUS room with so many little touches like gorgeous earthenware for tea/coffee in room with signature teas and fabulous bed and linens to a fabulous porch with multiple sitting areas to lounge and enjoy the gorgeous afternoon sun. Restaurant was lovely-fresh fabulous choices in the morning- I was so excited after day of swimming in pool and using fitness center equipment that the next morning would start with that fabulous breakfast! Loved the architecture and privacy of each unit and the glorious wusteria blooming everywhere along with the fabulous history the lodge has and the family that owned it- just awessome, all of it, loved every minute. Run don't walk to stay at the Inn at Matteis tavern, just a wonderful retreat in the middle of the most gorgeous setting.
