    We felt that outside events, wedding, baptism lunch stretched the catering department adversely. (We stayed at a weekend). Having to reserve a time for dinner only to find that there were few other diners didn't improve the environment. Although the bathroom was a good size, the door to the shower (over the bath) made it very difficult to get in and out of the shower. .

    The reception staff were very knowledgeable and efficient. There is nothing like a Parador, views , locations, and buildings. We enjoyed the music provided by the wedding party!

    Nothing. Everything was to our liking.

    Staff were excellent, especially in the restaurant. All staff were friendly and polite. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful, both on arrival and departure. Food in the restaurant was very good.

    Driving was often difficult because of the narrow and winding roads.

    Great location for walking and visiting monasteries and castles in the neighbourhood, but you need a car.

    A guy on reception who was more interested in texting on his phone than dealing with a customer. Which was a shame, as the rest of the staff were excellent.

    An exceptionally fine building, blending old and new architecture, design and furnishings. Superb location, lovely restaurant and local walks. Our room was amazing.

    Have had better rates for similar paradors, but supply and demand I guess…

    Very nice and interesting accommodation. As mentioned, lacking in outside space for relaxing - but that should be known beforehand. Plenty of safe parking for motorcycle.

    This is an exceptional hotel in a stunning building amidst a beautiful location. The staff were lovely and attentive and all services provided were top rate. The bedroom was spacious and high quality, and the breakfasts were fabulous, so too the evening meals. A great place to stay.

    Be aware that the access to the Monasterio is via a quite steep and narrow road.

    Gorgeous and tranquil location on top of a mountain. Beautiful room in old building. Be sure to wander the monasterio and read the plaques for its history. And take a stroll through the woods surrounding the building.

    Dinner start a bit late 8:30. I guess I also expected more of a wow factor as well on the menu.

    The building is very beautiful. Location is really scenic and relaxing. Staff is friendly. Rooms are big. Breakfast is very good. Spa is also very nice.

    Piped music in restaurant, breakfast room, etc could have been more appropriate. There are a lot of great Spanish musicians. 'World pop' seemed out of context.

    Great room. Good food. Impressive building. Stunning location. Fine service.

    Strangely this hotel lacked 2 important and standard things: 1-no coffee maker in the room, like all hotels. 2-Windows with no screens. As someone who gets severe allergic reactions to mosquitos, we had to keep the windows closed even though the outside temperature was not too hot nor cold, which wasn't great since I'm not a huge fan of sleeping with the air conditioner.

    Beatiful grounds, the rooms felt more spacious than in the photos and exceeded expectations.
