I?ve traveled extensively worldwide, and I?ve never been compelled to write a negative review until now. I feel obligated to share the incident because what my fiance and I experienced during our stay was so disturbing and sad, that we have to warn others. We spent a weekend staying at the Villa de Buena Vista in Paso Robles, California and expected to have a nice time touring vineyards, tasting wine, and getting away from the fast pace of Los Angeles life. Instead we were met with an angry innkeeper who made our weekend so unpleasant that we left early and stayed at a nearby hotel. The owners of the Bed & Breakfast seemed like kind and inviting people until shortly after we arrived. It?s clear to us now that the owners actually resent the presence of guests on their property, and any misstep on the part of a guest will be immediately met with an angry confrontation. This 3-room B&B is arranged with 2 rooms set aside from the main building and one guest room located inside the main house situated upstairs next to the owner?s master bedroom. On one occasion we entered the side door of the house to go up to our room. The owner was waiting for us and scolded us for not respecting their privacy, calling us ?rude? and other remarks. We explained that we were just going to our room but to no avail. After we got into our room, we found that things had been moved, as if someone had been in our room. The next day I asked the owners about this, and they didn?t admit having been in the room, but acted as thought they thought this would be justified saying that, ?This is our home, after all.? Our experience at breakfast was also very poor. The owner was on the phone most of the time and didn?t attend to us. Finally we left and ate our Breakfast downtown. The owners often complained to us about how the Bed & Breakfast has made their life at unpleasant. I have to ask, if you don?t enjoy the presence of guests on your property, why would you operate a Bed & Breakfast?
Pros: A nice view and elegant architecture.
Cons: Any misstep will lead to an angry confrontation.
