Nice property. Nice rooms. Have a good spa. But overpriced for the amenities that the hotel has.

Alejandro United States of America

This hotel was spacious, beautiful views and friendly staff. We enjoyed everything here.

Jason United States of America

Nice clean and new room, quiet, great view from our window

G United States of America

This is a lovely, small hotel situated overlooking a small valley and stream and run by a brother and sister who are warm and welcoming. The incorporated restaurant was very good providing both a fine dinner on its patio and a lovely breakfast in its stonewalled main room.

Anonymous Spain

Perfect place to have a complete rest after a long walk. No need to venture out, good food available, swimming pool and very comfortable room. Staff are particularly helpful.Appreciated the pre arrival communications we had about the room, and the receptionist showed me how to make the lights etc work .Very kind, helpful attention.

Felicity United Kingdom

Suite was awesome! Generous sized tub, double sink in the bathroom with ample counter space. Sitting area with TV and bed made up with the extra pillows that we had requested using booking messenger! Front desk staff was excellent. Excellent suggestions for sights to see and recommended a new restaurant in town. Helped us book hotel rooms in two towns where Booking.com said there was no availability. We heard the indoor pool was a must see, but we missed it. Breakfast was one of the most leisurely and enjoyable of our vacation.

David United States of America

Very friendly staff, comfortable, clean , short walk to town

Herb Switzerland

The best breakfast I've had at any Parador! There was a great variety apart from the typical and it was replenished regularly. There was also a menu of hot dishes to order from a menu. Friendliest staff I've encountered anywhere. Very short walk to the plaza mayor and interesting historical sites to visit. Perfect location for visiting Las Medulas. In addition to breakfast, we also had lunch in the restaurant - once, ordering from the menu and the other time with the set menu - both were excellent in terms of quality and presentation. Hygiene and measures related to covid were meticulously followed by both hotel staff and guests.

Lili Spain

The hotel had a great indoor swimming pool which was not very warm but had multiple jets to soothe sore muscles. A sauna was also a nice feature. The pool area was a very nice space to relax. Our room was beautiful and quiet.
