to get started.

This was our first stop on a three-week road trip through northern Spain. Lovely Parador built into the wall of Avila. A magical walled city that will take your imagination back in time. Staff was superb and the hotel was perfect in every way.

It was a lovely place alive with guests of every age— I don’t know about palace— it looked to me like a monastery, maybe a bishop’s house, that sort of thing. But our room and the whole general ambience was great.

Avila is a magical and historical town with the best-preserved castle walls in Europe, and the Parador d eAvila is located right smack in the middle of the castle walls. The breakfast is much better than the norm i Europe and the people are very friendly.

Located in the historic quarter of the charming town, this 16th-century Palace has been beautifully renovated and stands within pretty gardens – enjoy meals in the fabulous restaurant.

Walk up to the entrance through the enchanting maze and admire the impressive façade of the Parador Ávila. As you enter, you will feel the grandeur of the palace with the high ceilings, attractive tiling on the granite floor and the elegant decor.

Take a walk through the Parador Ávila’s special gardens which contain archeological remains. Enjoy a morning coffee in the pleasant inner courtyard which has a glass ceiling and a charming cafe-bar.

Dine in the magnificent restaurant of the Parador Ávila. You can enjoy excellently prepared traditional dishes accompanied by views over the gardens and the wonderful city walls of this magical city.

This is our guests' favorite part of Ávila, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

“Clean but needs updating. Would not recommended the food.”

The breakfast could have been better. I had the worst Spanish Omelette ever! They could have made an effort to offer fresh juice and fresh yogurt. Not what you expect from a luxury heritage hotel.
The hotel needs an update. The beds were comfortable but the furniture was too old. The carpet in the main entrance is dirty. Not what you expect of a four star heritage building.

“Great hotel with a a big handicap.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
Returning to the room later in the evening, we had the need to use the toilet. But it didn't flush well and my partner had to repeat it for about half an hour until I could use it. We didn't call the reception because of the time. The next morning after breakfast and before checking out, the problems became even worse and it took me some more time to clean the toilet. For a four stars hotel this should not happen. Although this had been our fifth time to Avila and our first time to the hotel and we will return to the city for sure but we will definitely not return to the hotel. When checking out we told the receptionist what happened. They behaved as if they didn't get it although my partner is a native Spanish speaker and he eventually had used five different words for toilet. When he then asked for the paper of complaint they said it didn't exist and only after he had insisted they handed it out.
The location was perfect in the Old Town next to the old town wall and one of the main exits within short walking distance to most of the ancient monuments, museums etc. The room was clean, well designed and as for the size adequate. The breakfast buffet was excellent. We were very positively surprised that the hotel put a bottle of cava and chocolates in the room for my partner' 50th birthday on the day of arrival. They also offered us a bigger room for a little more money which we denied, because we preferred the smaller room.

“A very comfortable hotel in the centre of Avila convenient for tourism”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
We had no reason for complaints
The Parador is located within the walled city close to one of the gates so reasonably easy to find and has parking spaces. It is only a short walk to the famous walls and cathedral. The hotel is a former palace so historically interesting and attractive. As usual for a Parador, the hotel was very comfortable and the breakfast buffet was excellent.

The bar menu could have been a little more extensive. Also some of the plates were rather pricey for the amount on offer, for example, €15 for a very small plate of cheese was in my opinion OTT. I thought they had made a mistake but apparently not. However on the plus side the warm bread was to die for.
We loved the location of the hotel- within the city walls and within walking distance of all the city sights.
