This Inn was so lovely to stay, the room was so comfortable and beautiful. The best part was the help and communication from the General Manager, Humberto. He was so helpful and communicative and made my stay so much more comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again.

We stayed in the Penthouse Suite with my husband and son, and it was absolutely perfect. The suite featured a comfortable king-sized bed, a couch that converted into a bed, a relaxing jacuzzi tub, and stunning views from the balcony. We appreciated the chilled water waiting for us in the fridge and the plush robes that added a luxurious touch. A special thank you to Humberto, who ensured we were able to check in early and had everything we needed. His thoughtful recommendations for food and activities, along with the personal touches and excellent communication, made our stay extra special. We truly felt cared for and can’t wait to return!

This property was very unique and quaint. I’d never stayed in something like it before. The whole checking in and out process is all contactless and very seamless. They were very helpful with step by step instructions, and even had guides and recommendations with things around the area! Thank you De La Vina Inn for a unique and fun little stay!

Great spot and last minute. Humberto the manager is very attentive and helped with all the check in process. Everything is electronic and coded with automatic locks. Rooms are small but clean and the bed was great for a night. Perfect location and we will stay again.

We stayed in the top floor and although the stairs were STEEP to the 3rd floor (almost ladderlike) it was worth it! STUNNING VIEWS from 2 different balconies. Great bathroom. Comfy bed. Even a fireplace in the room!

Lovely property with charming courtyard. Clean room, comfortable bed - stocked with everything we could need. Easy walk to downtown. Safe and peaceful. The key code took a minute to figure out, but then was super convenient. We would be very happy to stay here again!

This place is like the vending machine of hotel stays. It’s completely unmanned 24 hours a day. So, to access your room, you have to go through a cumbersome process of receiving room codes, and they don’t always work. A ghost hotel.

Property misrepresented the room. Small and worn out. Needs some tlc. Location saved this from a two star review. Walking distance to heart of town.

Deep Gratitude for awesome hospitality. Brighton suit - the only available at the time of reservation - was actually perfect match for my taste and i enjoyed pouring rain at night with scents of blooming plants coming into the room... Thank you for accommodating my requests! I had amazing practice of yoga in the garden... BLESSINGS OF LOVE AND HEALTH TO ALL :)

Such a lovely place, Property is beautiful, great location for walking everywhere and we had so much fun renting e-bikes and cruising around. My only complaint would be that guys were working at 7am going in and out of gate really loud right outside our room and we were sleeping in for once. :) But that being said, I would go back again for sure. Loved it.

Our recent stay in the Darcy Room at De La Vina Inn exceeded all expectations. The thoughtful combination of historic charm and modern comfort created an unforgettable experience. The king-sized bed was exceptionally comfortable, but what truly set this room apart was the luxurious bathtub and private terrace overlooking the front garden - perfect for enjoying morning coffee while listening to birds. The inn's location is ideal - we could easily walk to Santa Barbara's fantastic restaurants and attractions, yet the property felt like a peaceful retreat. The garden areas are beautifully maintained and create such a serene atmosphere. We particularly appreciated the secure keycode access system, which made coming and going effortless. What impressed us most was the attention to detail throughout the property. From the cozy common areas to the immaculately kept gardens, every aspect of De La Vina Inn has been carefully considered. The room itself struck a perfect balance between historic character and modern amenities, making our stay both authentic and comfortable. If you're looking for an intimate, charming alternative to larger hotels in Santa Barbara, the Darcy Room at De La Vina Inn is an absolute gem. We're already planning our next visit!

We didn't realize that we would need to use a cell phone for entrance to the property and the room. It was ok, once we got used to it, but we prefer the interaction with staff. The room was pretty small for 2 people and the bathroom was tiny, but it is an older home and beautifully appointed...I realize that is what you get for a property of this era. In our 2 night stay, we saw a house cleaner once; and no other guests or staff.
