    We had dinner in their restaurant and although most of the staff were lovely there was one (tall, dark haired man) we think he was the maitre/head waiter, that wasn’t too friendly and did spoil the visit to the restaurant a little bit. The food was ok but we were expecting more. Overall is was ok but it could have been better, that’s the problem

    The building and history. Rooms were clean and comfortable

    The booking through booking.com got messed up. Booked two rooms - 2 and 1 adults. Initial response from Booking.com was aligned to this but subsequently it became two rooms for 1 adult each room. However produced all the emails and booking.com app messages and sorted easily enough. Do continue to check the details of the booking with each and every message.

    Fantastic monastery building steeped in history. Really sympathetic conversion into a parador. Our room was excellent, bed extremely comfortable, bathroom excellent. Evening meal on the terrace was superb. Breakfast was amazing.

    Strong smell of drains both near room and in key locations which also came through ventilation system. On inquiry hotelier suggested it was government lack of adequate sewerage facilities in the village with no apologies. But we didn’t expect this during our stay especially for a high end hotel.

    Location fantastic. Room clean & comfortable. Breakfast exceptional. Evening meal delicious.

    No bubble bath for the bath provided. The water kept switching between the bath and the shower. Breakfast seemed disorganised and it wasn't clear what we needed to do/what was going on.

    Amazing room. Great location for walks and views. Lovely food in the restaurant- staff were happy to help and explain the vegetarian options at dinner. Great wine at dinner. The building is beautiful and worth walking around to explore its nooks and crannies.

    There is no bar. Only a rather uncomfortable cafeteria if you want to buy a drink. The hotel has undergone a fabulous recent refurbishment, so why wasn't a comfortable lounge bar included?

    Stunning location

    The staff in the restaurant went to great lengths to make my husband’s birthday meal very special. During our stay I booked a massage which was excellent, the therapist was kind and professional & I was left feeling very relaxed which was the desired outcome. We had an excellent stay thanks to the kind & courteous staff of the Parador Santo Estevo.

    Our room was a bit tiny so was the bed and we didn’t have hot drinks facilities. The garage was outside the building and you have to carry your own luggage for a long way. I think they could do with more staff.

    The best was the location and the building. The food was excellent. The staff was very attentive.

    Our room was fairly small and had 2 steps down from the hallway to the bedroom, quite awkward at night. Would suggest upgrade to next room.

    Superb location with some lovely walks from the parador. Restaurant was nice and there was an extensive choice at breakfast. Staff were very friendly.
