Casa Valerio in CA 93101, open June–September.
Casa Valerio is a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival mansion originally built as a private residence in downtown Santa Barbara.
The property underwent meticulous restoration to preserve its authentic architectural details—hand-painted tiles, exposed wooden beams, and period fountains—while modernizing amenities for contemporary events.
This historic hotel now serves as an intimate destination venue where early California elegance meets refined hospitality.
Our experience at Casa Valerio was truly enjoyable. The Zipstay team provides a top-notch boutique stay with a modern self-check-in process. This is our second time staying at their properties, both situated in charming, walkable neighborhoods with plenty of nearby dining and shopping options. The rooms are thoughtfully designed, spotless, and equipped with high-quality linens and essentials such as coffee, a mini kitchenette, and a hairdryer—perfect for short stays. We experienced no noise disturbances. Casa Valerio offers excellent value and feels like a home away from home during business visits.
