Tolles Ambiente mit ganz besonderem Personal 😍
Pros:

Dies ist ein SEHR schöner Ort. (wie eigentlich alle Paradores). Aber hier BESONDERS schön. Und das Personal ist sooooo super freundlich, herzlich, ohne Aufdringlichkeit, ohne Aufgesetztheit, einfach unwahrscheinlich freundlich und zuvorkommend, egal wo im Einsatz.
Ein super Team!
Im Restaurant das Essen ist einfach perfekt und mit Zusatz Gängchen. In einem außergewöhnlich schönem Gewölbe.

Cons:

ALLES toll.
(Wenn im Geschoss über uns die Toilette abgezogen wurde, hörte man es ziemlich...
Unser Zimmer war über der Rezeption/Restaurant.... Das hörte man ab 6.00 Uhr morgens....
Dies konnte dem überaus positiven Eindruck aber nichts anhaben. )

Really memorable location
Pros:

Its location in a castle on top of a hill and being able to walk round and read about its history. Great views from the top.

Cons:

I’d have liked to park my motorcycle a little nearer to reception, but 200m at most was not too bad, it was just all uphill in 35 deg temps.

Séjour de rêve dans un endroit féerique. Dommage pour le petit déjeuner
Pros:

Site exceptionnel, excellent accueil, chambre propre ainsi que salle de bain. Belles prestations dans son ensemble , bon restaurant personnel agréable

Cons:

Petit déjeuner décevant. Un jeune serveur très désagréable. Il faut réclamer le thé. Pour le café personne n’est là pour expliquer le fonctionnement de la machine. Débris de vaisselle au sol.
