Hotel Parador de Villafranca del Bierzo
Avenida Calvo Sotelo, 28, 24500 Villafranca del Bierzo, Spain – Great location - show map
Nice property. Nice rooms. Have a good spa. But overpriced for the amenities that the hotel has.
United States of AmericaThis hotel was spacious, beautiful views and friendly staff. We enjoyed everything here.
United States of AmericaNice clean and new room, quiet, great view from our window
United States of AmericaSpacious clean room. Well appointed. Bathroom very nice. Welcoming ice water upon check-in was a nice touch. Property very well -maintained.
United States of AmericaThe 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.
SpainThe 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.
CanadaA typical modern paradox with to be expected standards
United KingdomBecause of it's location there are groups there and this can impact on the stay. Service in the restaurant was slow due to a group party also dining in the hotel.
United KingdomClean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.
AustraliaLovely modern parador, great little spa area to nurse weary legs on the camino and refresh for the next day. Good dinner and breakfast. The town is a delight too.
