About Casa Valerio
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 is an intimate destination venue where early California elegance meets refined hospitality.
