Why Stay Here

The Garden Suite opens onto a private balcony overlooking the rear gardens, where it's quiet enough to hear the birds at dawn—rare in a downtown inn. Inside, period furniture and original wood detailing share space with updated bathrooms and air conditioning, so guests sleep comfortably without sacrificing the house's 19th-century character.

  • The Garden Suite includes a private balcony with views of the rear gardens
  • Built in 1886 and restored to preserve original stained glass and woodwork
  • Three blocks from Lincoln Avenue's wine bars and restaurants
  • The Victorian Room is the largest of the four guest rooms

The Experience

Guests usually walk to downtown Calistoga for breakfast—it's three blocks to the cafés on Lincoln Avenue—then return to the porch or the Garden Suite's balcony later in the day. The inn provides coffee and tea in the morning, but there's no full breakfast service. Most visitors drive north to Castello di Amorosa or V. Sattui Winery before lunch, both less than a ten-minute drive. The Deluxe Room and Victorian Room face Berry Street; the Garden Suite and Family Room face the back gardens.

The Setting

Castello Victorian Inn setting

Castello Victorian Inn sits on Berry Street, a short walk from Lincoln Avenue's wine bars and restaurants but far enough off the main drag that the front porch stays peaceful most mornings. The 3,600-square-foot home was built in 1886 and restored to retain its original stained glass windows, intricate woodwork, and pressed tin ceilings. Four guest rooms occupy the upper floors, each with its own period furniture and layout. The Victorian Room is the largest, while the Family Room has enough space for extra beds.
