Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hilltop castle was a delightful experience. The beautifully furnished rooms with period furniture and tapestries were very clean and offered a comfortable bed. The service was exceptional, ensuring every detail was taken care of, from a welcome drink to a delicious dinner. The location within the castle walls and on the edge of the village was charming, overlooking the town, and offered a romantic atmosphere. However, the dining experience was a letdown with overpriced and below-par food.
My stay at the Parador was a mixed bag. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the pretty village, but some maintenance issues in the room were disappointing. The dining experience was great, up to Parador standard, and the service was pleasant overall.
The hotel offers spacious and well-furnished rooms with lovely views, although noise from revellers outside was a downside at times. The price was on the higher side compared to other Paradores. The service was top-notch with attentive and helpful staff. The location was superb, nestled in a historic castle town. The dining experience was impressive, although the timing of the restaurant opening and quality of breakfast could be improved.
The hotel is located in a very large castle overlooking the town, offering a short walk to visit the historic center and cathedral, though there were disturbances late at night from revellers. The rooms are massive with little window-seats, nice, clean, and fairly quiet at night, at least outside of your room.
The hotel sits beautifully on a hilltop overlooking the courtyard, providing a charming and historic ambiance. The rooms offer stunning views over the rural land and gardens, although they are a bit small with limited windows. The dining experience was mixed, with some standout dishes but lacking variety in choices. The service, on the other hand, was impeccable, with every detail taken care of. The location is ideal for exploring the town and enjoying the historic surroundings.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms despite some maintenance issues, with the advantage of a spacious terrace overlooking the courtyard. The service could be more welcoming, but the location is convenient for exploring the area. The dining options are nice, and the facilities are satisfactory.
