Avenida Calvo Sotelo, 28, 24500 Villafranca del Bierzo, Spain –

Lock in a great price for Parador de Villafranca del Bierzo – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The room was fine. It is rather a cold structure but has all amenities in the room.

Marlene, United States of America

The breakfast was great Waitresses were exceptionally helpful, lifted the general demeanour of the Hotel

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

Spacious clean room. Well appointed. Bathroom very nice. Welcoming ice water upon check-in was a nice touch. Property very well -maintained.

Randy, United States of America

Beauty clean luxurious and quiet. Very reasonable for a Paradore.

Carol, United States of America

The swimming pool was great! The breakfast buffet was exceptional! Really beautiful, healthy, great variety & options to choose from.

Mary, Spain

Very nice hotel but a bit out of the way they had a mini fridge in the room a big plus.

Steven, United States of America

Very nice hotel, comfortable, clean room. Good WiFi. Had a very good dinner at the restaurant.

Helen, Canada

After days walking the Camino this was our treat. The rooms were very clean and modern, towels fluffy and a king-size bed! Although this parador does not have the historical character of other paradors in Spain, it is good value if you are looking for a nicer place to stay.

Marian, Canada

It was our last leg of walking the Camino and a very pleasant stay. I loved the swimming pools. We missed the ambience that comes from an old building but it was actually a pleasant change to enjoy more modern amenities. It is situated slightly away from the main square, but is is an easy walk.

Restaurant was great, bar and front desk staff friendly and helpful.

“Nice rooms horrible food!”

The meal we had was horrible. We both ordered the “succulent Lamb chops.” We ordered them on the rare side. What was put in front of us was near disgusting! Now before I describe them, understand that I have eaten lamb chops in Spain many, many times, and they are not like our loin lamb chops in the USA. Nevertheless, the ones they served were about 40 percent bone, 40 percent fat and about 20 percent meat The meat was so well done you could not even taste it was lamb. I informed the waiter that I had asked for the meat on the rare side. He took the dishes back and eventually returned with almost the exact same situation. Over cooked fat on small mini chops. I have been traveling to Europe and Spain for many. Many years and never had such a poor meal. There were Australians sitting close by and they had ordered fish and they returned the food as well! This Parador needs an upgrade in the preparation of their food! DO NOT EAT THERE!!
The room was fine. It is rather a cold structure but has all amenities in the room.

Was more hotel than we needed since we were walking the Camino and only wanted a private room and bath. Cheaper options would have better suited our needs. This is not a negative on the property itself— we just over-bought.
Spacious clean room. Well appointed. Bathroom very nice. Welcoming ice water upon check-in was a nice touch. Property very well -maintained.

The cafe opened too late for us to have coffee before we left in the morning. The man at the desk in the morning was not helpful. Later when our bags had not been shipped by van to our next location as is common on the Camino de Santiago, the clerk had not called.
Beauty clean luxurious and quiet. Very reasonable for a Paradore.
