It's like that scene in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" when the entire village serves Harrison Ford's 'Indy' a plate of, what was it? Four seeds and a dead horse-fly? You just can't give the village zero stars. That's how I felt when I checked in at Pub Number 17, a renovated bed and breakfast with 1,400 year old slate walls three feet thick. You couldn't even tell it was a restaurant; it had no name anywhere on the front, no menu, no specials, no one to even greet you. I immediately expected the worst: that swarthy, unventilated, refridgeration-less, mud-on-concrete floor eatery where the vegetables are colder than the beer, rancid meat is served with finality by grieving staff, and cubes of cigarette smoke can be carved out of the air with a butter knife. Think Hungary, 1992. But I was amazed. The owner was bartending, so his wife seated us: 20 tables past a labyrinth of halls in the back. It was awkward for a moment: no menus. Someone said in Italian: "Spaghetti?", she said "alle olio?", we said "ok". That's code for "we have no sauce prepared". The spaghetti was homemade, and a revelation of "al dente", the best alle olio I could imagine. I forgot about coodies and finished everyone else's plate. Each bowl after the meal was 5/8 inch deep in oil and we hit it with the appetizer bread. After the spaghetti, she appeared again and said "Carne?". We said "Yes." We received a foot long sopressata sausage cut into inch long bits and a cheese plate of two provolones and a caciocavalla. The wine sealed the deal. We asked for a "rosso" and got "Montepulciano d' Abruzzi" which I have added as a new wine on my Vivino app. My favorite montepulcianos are La Berne's 2004 which I buy for $200 a bottle. This was better. And it came as the house red. They tacked on $14 to the bill. Simple meal. Magical moment. Five stars. Put iPhone back in pocket. Have a nice day.

I drove in down a long pathway and was able to park in close proximity to the entrance. The security guard notified the front desk so they greeted my outside. The porter took my bags inside. I had arrived before check-in time so I had some time to explore the property before seeing my room. The garden area outside is very nice! I was told that the hotel would be closing for winter in a few days time and that is was slow. Since they did not have high occupancy, they upgraded me for free from a garden view to an ocean view. After 30 minutes or so the room was ready and I was escorted to see the room. It was quite impressive as there was the room itself but had a "sitting room" next it is so it was basically a suite. There was a door to the balcony that had a table for two and an ocean view. We were provided with a complimentary bottle of wine and a Panettone loaf. The room was nice an had everything except for a coffee maker. There was no hot water pitcher either. The bathroom had a toilet where the seat was not aligned to the toilet which is scary for a man as a pinched ball sack would not be good. This property is right next to Piazza Tasso which is the main square and is surrounded by restaurants and shops. There is a bar onsite as well as a Michelin starred restaurant called Terrazza Bosquet. The restaurant was good and the staff were amazing, front desk, concierge, bell staff and restaurant staff. Customer Service is a big priority here. A few small tweaks needed but was a five star experience!

We did not find many negatives with this place. The rooms were small but we did not mind. Bathroom was a decent size. Service was awesome. The gym overlooks the coast and so does the pool.
