Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Los Olivos cost?
Budget hotel prices in Los Olivos vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $1,258 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Los Olivos is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Los Olivos, finding cheap hotels directly within the village can be a challenge, as it's a small, upscale area. Instead, consider staying in the nearby towns of Buellton or Solvang, which are just a short drive away and offer more affordable accommodation options.

Buellton, located west of Los Olivos, provides a range of motels and budget-friendly hotels. It's a practical choice for solo travellers as it's directly off Highway 101, making it easy to access. You'll find several eateries that cater to a more casual dining experience, often at lower price points than in Los Olivos.

Solvang, just a few minutes south of Los Olivos, is a Danish-themed village with a wider selection of hotels, including some that are more competitively priced. Solo travellers might appreciate the unique architecture and pedestrian-friendly streets for evening strolls.
When is the most affordable time to visit Los Olivos?
The most affordable time to visit Los Olivos is generally during the off-peak seasons, specifically late autumn (November) and winter (December to February), excluding holiday periods. During these months, the summer crowds have dispersed, leading to lower prices for accommodation and fewer people at popular attractions.

For solo travellers, visiting in the quiet winter months can mean more personalised experiences at vineyards and a chance to enjoy the serene beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley without the hustle and bustle. Many wineries are still open, offering tastings, and you might find special deals on accommodation or activities.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway on a budget will appreciate the cosy atmosphere and reduced rates. Exploring the charming village of Los Olivos, with its art galleries and boutiques, is a delightful experience, and many tasting rooms offer a more intimate setting during this quieter period.
Is Los Olivos a budget-friendly destination?
While Los Olivos is generally considered more expensive, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

This quaint village, located in California's wine country, is renowned for its vineyards and tasting rooms, which can quickly add up. However, couples and solo travellers can enjoy the scenic beauty and atmosphere without breaking the bank. Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring or autumn) when accommodation prices might be slightly lower. Instead of staying directly in Los Olivos, look for more affordable options in nearby towns like Santa Ynez or Solvang, which are just a short drive away and offer a wider range of lodging choices, from boutique hotels to guesthouses.

For activities, focus on the abundant natural beauty. Couples can enjoy leisurely walks or cycle rides through the picturesque vineyards and olive groves, which are completely free. Many wineries offer free or low-cost tastings if you do some research beforehand, and some even have picnic areas where you can enjoy your own packed lunch with a purchased bottle of wine. Solo travellers can also explore the art galleries and unique shops along Grand Avenue, soaking in the village's relaxed vibe without feeling pressured to spend. Packing your own snacks and drinks will also help keep costs down, as dining out in Los Olivos can be pricey.

You can wander through the streets, admiring the Victorian-era architecture and the numerous art galleries, many of which are free to browse. The Los Olivos General Store is a delightful step back in time, offering a glimpse into the area's history without any cost. Additionally, the surrounding countryside offers picturesque views; a walk or cycle along the quiet roads provides stunning vistas of vineyards and rolling hills.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Los Olivos as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Los Olivos for you.
