Casa La Paloma - Historic Sonoma, Old World Charm, Great Location

In 2023, we did a major update to the furnishings at Casa la Paloma, including new furniture, bed linens, decor, even light fixtures. In the spacious back yard you can enjoy the new hot tub, patio furniture, outdoor dining table and grill. It looks wonderful as shown by the fabulous guest reviews. The update was done with care and purpose to maintain the original style. Photos recently updated!

Exciting News: Swimming Pool and Pool House Coming in 2025!
We’re thrilled to announce the addition of a beautiful new swimming pool and pool cabana, set to be completed by July 2025! To make way for construction, a portion of the backyard will be screened off from January 2025 until July 1, 2025. Please note that the hot tub will not be accessible from March through July 2025.

During this period, we are prioritizing guest satisfaction by ensuring no construction work occurs during your stay. We will be limiting rentals to Thursday through Sunday, and nightly rates have been significantly discounted to account for our reduced availability.

We’re committed to preserving a serene and enjoyable experience for all our guests. The outdoor patio and dining area will remain fully accessible, so you can relax and savor the backyard space throughout the entire construction phase.

Step into the spirit of Early Sonoma California by staying at Casa la Paloma – one of Sonoma’s historic homes from the mid 1800s. It has been carefully renovated for comfort, convenience, the maintenance of its historic character and has received awards from the Historic Society. Filled with old world charm of Spanish/Mexican California, it is located right downtown only a block from the Plaza. It’s unique location provides you with the comfortable feeling of being in a neighborhood and the fun of being only a short stroll from the life of the Plaza – walk to the Farmer’s Market, the best restaurants, the historic Sebastiani theater and endless wine tastings. You’ll be pleased you don’t have to drive home!

Casa La Paloma has a lovely spacious backyard with old fruit trees, and a beautiful patio for dining outside . Here, you can barbeque, have a small family gathering, entertain friends for supper or just relax.

The large Great Room, with it’s original Salt Box architecture, creates a wonderful space with antique Spanish furnishings and charmingly combines the kitchen, dining area with a table for 8 and the living room.

The kitchen has everything you could need for quick meals or a gourmet dinner.

In the old Parlor/Library you can quietly read, watch TV, check your email or send the kids there to play board games.

Off the Great Room you’ll find the Master Bedroom with it’s beautiful, king-sized hand carved four-poster bed, European armoire and French doors which open to the patio. The adjoining spacious Master Bath has been completely remodeled for comfort.

The second downstairs Bedroom is in the heart of the older part of the house. It has a queen brass bed and is romantic, cozy and charming. Here, the spirit of the building welcomes you warmly.

Upstairs, in the older part of the house, there are 2 more bedrooms.
Sunny and sweet, the room on the right brings the mission Spanish character of old Sonoma together with modern style and comfort, and has a king-sized four poster bed and lots of closet space.

The bedroom on the left, also sunny and warm, has two queen-sized beds. Perhaps this is the best room for the children or a couple with a child.

There is no bathroom upstairs in this part of the old historic house.
Just downstairs off the kitchen, there is a second small newly remodeled bathroom with a corner shower which is shared with the downstairs bedroom.

The spaciousness, lovely garden and great location make Casa La Paloma a perfect location for special occasions – a place for the wedding friends and family to stay, host out of town guests who have come for a conference or workshop and would like to stay longer to tour the area etc.

Casa La Paloma’s great location, charm, and the feeling of old Sonoma will enhance your visit.

Small Town Charm
We have rented the Casa for multiple years running - always a delight. Was super hot this visit - but the AC and the shady back yard kept us all cool. The great room area is very charming and expansive. The yard is wonderfully landscaped and well maintained. The communication and responsiveness with the management team was superlative. The location can't be beat.

MUCH MORE THAN LOCATION!
Lovely, comfortable, bright, warm and inviting. Every room felt like home. The very open concept made it easy to visit whether cooking, dining or sitting in living area. Double doors from great room and double doors from primary room open to patio and HUGE yard with magnificent, tall trees and allowed for many areas to visit or be quiet far from house. The primary bedroom could easily be a studio apartment plus my favorite Mexican paver flooring. The den was perfect for privacy and quiet time. All bedrooms bright (or dark with closed curtains) had very, very comfortable beds and quality bedding. Cars can be parked and never used given everything you could want is walking distance. I’m hopeful a month long stay is in our future. And Kendall could not have been more responsive and kind. Excellent.

Half Marathon Stay
My family stayed at the house recently. Several of us were running the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon. The house was wonderful, spacious, clean and well appointed with great location. It looked much better and larger than the pictures. Plenty of gathering space for our group of 7. Bonus: House was on mile marker 13 of the half route. Non runners were able to cheer finish from front porch. Only drawback to house was it just had two bathrooms downstairs. The positives outweighed that by a large margin. Interactions with host were prompt and friendly.

Great location in a charming old house
Great location in downtown Sonoma, beautiful kitchen and yard to enjoy breakfast, dinners and relaxing with wine. Overall a really great place for a smaller group, maybe a girls weekend - only 1 bed that comfortably fits a couple. Beautiful master bedroom! Totally stocked kitchen for cooking. Something to note is that the 4th bedroom seems to be a converted room off the living room, so the lights and sounds come through the makeshift wall. I think some of the pillows are in need of a replacement.

Incredible!
I rarely stay at the same place twice, but I would TOTALLY stay here again! In fact, I hope to. The location is beyond perfect- makes it really easy for a group to quickly split up to grab a bite, some coffee, dessert, a tasting, or go shopping. Makes for a great trip when you don’t have to gather the troops all day long to go anywhere. I have little kids (1 and 4yrs), and tend to get places a bit further away from the bustle, but staying so close to town is my new format! Now the house. Wow. Beautifully restored (originally built in the 1800s). Nicely appointed (better than the pics). Plenty of room inside and outside (the back yard is private and MASSIVE!l). A couple things that might matter to you: only 2 bathrooms (full BR is in the master bedroom, the only other BR is off the main room and is a small 3/4 - still plenty of room to get ready in the nicely sized bedrooms). Also, the internet’s not great, but maybe that was just temporary. You should totally book this spot for a great experience near town!

Loved it!
One of my favorite rental properties ever. Like others have said the pictures do not do it justice. We entered through the backyard and was stunned at the park like size and feel. Lots of simple touches, and places to relax amongst the flowers and foliage. We were equally excited to enter the main room with its Bonanza like feel. One of our guests termed it “The Lodge.” A perfect set up for visiting and cooking meals. I always bring a few spices and kitchen supplies but we Found everything had everything we needed in the kitchen. The location to the plaza and restaurants is ideal. Absolutely would love to rent this property in the future.

Conveniently located in Sonoma
This property has a lot of character, with interesting furniture and accents (a lovely old accordion and autoharp), well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds with plenty of pillows and blankets. It was a short walk to many of the places we wanted to visit. We rented bicycles to visit a couple of more distant wineries. One disappointment was that the hot tub was not working, but the owner reimbursed us for that without hesitation. Would love to stay here again.

Just Incredible!
I'm just now coming off the buzz of my 50th birthday party with a group of friends at this fantastic house. I can't rave about it enough - the old world charm, location and all around "fun vibe" can't be beat. There was one night that we were out at a local venue in the square and the group of us decided we would rather be at the house playing music and games, so we headed home! Even the locals are obsessed with this house! We had a knock at the door one morning and a local couple wanted to come in and tour the place. I politely declined because it wasn't my place to show and other couple of groups of locals walking by asked how our stay was and we all raved about it. I would 100% rent this home again. Unfortunately it was raining during our stay, so we didn't get to enjoy the hot tub or backyard (HUGE), but the inside was so warm and inviting that we didn't care. The kitchen has ample supplies and the bedrooms were cozy. The only downfall was the upstairs doesn't have a bathroom, so it was not ideal for the girls on the 2nd level. All in all, great place and location. Being that it rained, we were very fortunate to be only a FEW STEPS from the square where we enjoyed shopping, eating and drinking. I can't thank you enough for this gal's best birthday ever Noni!!

Full of charm, character and warmth, this large house is a great location and base for exploring yourselves and the Sonoma region. The rooms were more spacious than the pictures conveyed, and the yard is phenomenal. My favorite is the living room/kitchen area which is one cavernous room with plenty of light (thanks to skylights) and curios. We would definitely stay here again.
