April 4-7, 2024 Family wedding
The property and old house are beautiful, though carpets and kitchen floor are a little shabby. We asked to have the carpets vacuumed, and Umberto made that happen. He was very accommodating, allowing us to put some things on the deck before we checked in However, I think his cleaning staff and he were not in agreement. It was my understanding that check-out was at 11 am - its tough to get 15 people out the night after a wedding - and Lupita was quite nasty about it. Overall, the property is lovely and was a wonderful gathering spot.

About the host

Hosted by De La Vina Inn

Host profile image
A beautiful 1895 fully restored Historic Inn of 8 guest rooms and 8 and half baths, formerly named Country House, a sister hotel of Upham Hotel's (one of the oldest hotels in California). The inn formerly belonged to the 16th president of the United State's cousin, Amasa Lincoln. The historic charm still remains but with modern amenities and decor touches!

Why they chose this property

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...with history, charm and luxury-all in one. You will forget you are in downtown Santa Barbara with the lovely gardens to relax in and soothing fountains to listen to. And, because De La Vina Inn is only 8 rooms, it is the perfect size for hosting smaller scale retreats, events and getaways, where both the need for overnight accommodations and plenty of space to host an unforgettable experience in a charming venue can be yours! Having an entire, historic inn exclusively for you and your group to enjoy is a rare find in Santa Barbara.

What makes this property unique

Special feel of Old World Charm with modern touches throughout. You will enjoy the comfortable beds and linens, and hotel style amenities. We have a complimentary beverage bar with Keurig coffee machine, tea, fruits and snacks. Best of all, you are able to enjoy with your family and friends in one place. A home away from home. We are more than an inn....an experience!
