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!

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.

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.

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 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!

There should be a way to communicate before you book, that there will not be a person at the Inn to receive you. Instead, you will get a text with a code to the front door and directions to your room. It gives the feel of renting a room in someone's house instead of being a guest at a professional inn. It lacked a warmth that I was expecting for the price. When booking, I requested a late check out and the Inn did not respond with an answer. The cleaning crew was there Sunday morning, which was good because I used the last clean mug for coffee. My room was comfortable and clean.

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!
