The brilliant white building sits majestically on sprawling lawns and gardens, on the edge of the small town of Los Olivos. Inside, the tavern can only be described as welcoming – lit fireplaces, cozy dining rooms and enticing aromas from the open kitchen. First built in 1886 as a stagecoach stop, the tavern was owned by generations of the Mattei family. As Felix Mattei said in 1888 “We are first a restaurant, only by sideline a hotel. Our menus are more important than our mattresses. If people want a fancy bedroom for the night, Los Olivos Hotel is for them. If they want the finest food and drink in the valley-in the whole state, by garl, they will come to Mattei's."
Infused with history and tall tales that may or may not be true, the tavern is one of the area’s most cherished buildings. Come on in!
