Wonderful place in a nice town in the Rioja region. Great breakfast, large room, super clean, good parking. Would stay again for sure. There are two paradors in this town, we stayed in the monastery location. It was cheaper but still wonderful.

Virginia United States of America

I love the paradors in Spain, and this one did not disappoint. Although not as amazing as the one in Santiago, our room was lovely and spacious, and the building was beautiful.

Laura United States of America

The hotel is well located within the city. It was easy to walk to the sights and the other Parardor. The building itself was beautifully restored and the breakfast was excellent.

lovely hotel. staff was gracious and let us get into our room early which we really appreciated as we were not feeling well because of the heat. hotel room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. no air conditioning in the room which was the only negative for us . cute town and the hotel is right on the camino and close to the shops and restaurants.
