+ Beautiful suite with excellent facilities. Spotlessly clean and excellent room service to keep it in great shape. Wonderful views, a lovely location and a real presence in this lovely historic village. Would highly recommend this hotel.
− Menu in the restaurant was limited for my wife who needs gluten free menu. Only a very minor issue as there were plenty of options. Parking was a little expensive but secure and close by.

+ Beautiful parador. Our second visit. Great location for catching the ferry to uk. Safe underground parking garage across the way. Excellent breakfast and very good proper coffee and hot milk brought to the table. Wonderful staff. Great service in the restaurant, particularly Fatima and Cova who looked after us and gave service with a smile at breakfast and dinner. Esther on the bar was very attentive also and gave great service. The service we received at this Paradore was exemplary. Very comfortable room with supremely comfy bed and a lovely view of the garden.
− The Parador has a beautiful secluded garden and needed more attention. The tables outside were not cleared down promptly. Our friends had gone to rest and when they came back out to their favourite spot their glasses and plates were still there over 2hrs later. Perhaps more staff are needed to cope with the outside service. The patio was not swept the whole time we were there until the last day when a photographer arrived to take pictures of the garden. Dirty napkins had been on the floor for days. This area of the Paradore is a wonderful asset to the property and should be shown a little more care and attention.
