We stayed in a few paradores this summer. This was different but really nice and beautifully situated. We had really good breakfast and ate one night at the restaurant where we had a nice dinner and very good wine. The town is 5 minutes away and on the way a winery with service in a beautiful garden. The pool area was also really good! Inside and outside pool. After check out the hotel let us stay in the pool area till we had to go to the airport, nice service!

Gravi mancanze

Grosso problema con aria condizionata. Ho fatto presente immediatamente che aria condizionata non funzionava. Sono venuti ed in pratica hanno semplicemente attivato il motorino ma non l’affrescamento.Di notte ho aperto la finestra per avere un poco di fresco ma a questo punto i rumori del transito delle auto sulla vicina autostrada non mi hanno consentito di dormire. Insomma un soggiorno terribile

Dicen que tienen piscina climatizada, pero es mentira. Llegamos un dia a las 10,25 y tenian la cocina 'cerrada', no fueron capaces de ofrecernos una simple lata de aceitunas. Los empleados tienen muy poca 'sensibilidad' con los clientes.

Disappointing

Disappointing stay. It felt like a B grade Parador, with sections cordoned off. Room with view over motorway didn’t help. While loading cases into car, the grass sprinkler system came on, soaking me, my cases and the boot of the car. All round, just a bit tacky.
