CordeValle

After completing three stays throughout Fall and Winter, I can confidently say CordeValle is the hidden gem of the South Bay. Nestled in a beautiful valley in San Martin, warmth greets you at the front gate by one of the associates. While driving up to the lodge, the grounds/golf course views are absolutely stunning(A blue pond? So cool!) Once at the lobby, the bellman quickly grabs all your bags, and check-in is a breeze. Sparkling wine and rosemary-infused hand towels while getting your room keys? YES! Quick overview of the property below: Rooms -The three stays we've had are in the bungalow. Wow. These rooms are gorgeous and luxurious. Huge tubs, stunning golf course views, a wonderful fireplace, and a giant walk-in closet. Also, the robes they provide in the room are top-notch. Spa/Pool/Gym We enjoyed having two amazing massages at The Spa At CordeValle. The locker room/spa area for men is HUGE. Well appointed, clean, and lots of places to relax. Both massages were terrific and very fairly priced. The pool, even in the Fall/Winter, is still an oasis of serenity. The staff will gladly assist in bringing food from one of the restaurants directly to your lounger. Suffice it to say, we had a lot of fun by the pool! The gym is smaller but clean, well-appointed, and was never busy. Huge bonus for having a Peloton bike and row machine. Staff This one is important: Every single person at CordeValle is amazing. From the Bellman to the Restaurant staff, I have never met so many warm and genuine people. And on our last stay, they even remembered us. There are so many to list, but off the top of my head, Jenn(both restaurants!), Michelle(Front Desk), Denise(Lions Head Grill), and Benjy (Pickleball trainer). Honestly, though, everyone rocks! Food WOW! We never had a bad meal in the three stays(two of them 4 days each). On the contrary, this has to be some of the BEST food in the South Bay(Or even in the Bay Area!) The chef runs his kitchens with such skill and consistent perfection. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Nico during our last stay, and we thanked him for all the delicious food we had at all three restaurants. Even when writing this, I know I'm anticipating our trip back in the spring. If you want luxury, serenity, fantastic staff, and food, book this place ASAP.

Comfortable beds and everything you might possibly need available in the rooms. A separate dressing room and another space with a wet bar and Nespresso machine. Golf, tennis, pickleball, chess. Staff go over and above to help. All in all, I found nothing to complain about. We will definitely return.

We have stayed at Cordevalle at least 4 times in the last year or so as solo, couple and families. I look forward to each stay with great anticipation and it never disappoints. Everything from the view, the amenities, the food at OIB, the tennis court, to all the staff has been a delight. It is only 35 mins from the South Bay, but is such a wonderful sanctuary for rest and recharge. As part of the Amex FHR program, it always honors the FHR benefits eg upgrades, late checkout, hotel credits etc just to make the stay a notch more enjoyable.

Fantastic in every way. Great healthy or fine dining, pool, spa, hiking and rooms. There are three great dining options on weekends. Two on weekdays. There is something for everyone here. The staff are the biggest asset. Highly recommend and will return soon.

Thrilled with the updated renovations. The bungalow looked beautiful inside and the amenities like the nook with the under counter refrigerator / bar counter when you walk in, fireplace and flat screen tv, bookshelves and comfy chairs are a welcome treat. Loved the new color scheme. Blue is my favorite! The mattress was excellent. Slept really well. Lighting was excellent. The bathroom with everything modernized and redone was divine - they REALLY did an excellent job. And of course the golf course views with the mountains in the background are so lovely. Service from everyone at Cordevalle from the man at the guard shack who definitely makes sure that nobody enters without a reservation, to the valet parkers by the circular entry of the hotel, to the front desk, to the Manager, to the Iron Bar restaurant staff throughout the stay were all incredibly welcoming, polite, helpful and gracious. Housekeeping all did an immaculate job. Very much look forward to returning. Highly recommend!

Idyllic, tranquil escape! The moment you drive up the hill to the secluded property, you know you have left the outside world behind. Gorgeous setting, beautiful facilities and attentive, friendly staff....I will emphasize that again — amazing group of people making sure you have the best stay possible. Look forward to returning here again soon.
