Coffee and tea making facilities in the room would have been good.

Spectacular location with stunning views. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and wooded walks.

Strangely this hotel lacked 2 important and standard things: 1-no coffee maker in the room, like all hotels. 2-Windows with no screens. As someone who gets severe allergic reactions to mosquitos, we had to keep the windows closed even though the outside temperature was not too hot nor cold, which wasn't great since I'm not a huge fan of sleeping with the air conditioner.

Beatiful grounds, the rooms felt more spacious than in the photos and exceeded expectations.

Restaurant was average - we only ate there 1 night and chose to go elsewhere the other evenings

Amazing historic Parador (former monastery) in an incredible location towards top of the gorge. Spectacular

The site is exceptional

Our main complaint was the lack of outdoor space - something highlighted by numerous others reviewers. The only open air dining space is a small terrace of about 12 tables at the Los Abades restaurant… you need to be there very promptly when the restaurant opens to be lucky to get one. The cafeteria is entirely indoors with a few tables in a glass- enclosed section of the cloister, and the menu is poor. We ate lunch at the nearby parador in Montforte de Limos one day and the food there was way better. The lack of outside space is the main drawback of this fabulous hotel, it feels a bit claustrophobic as there is no real space to relax outside of your own room , except one small covered terrace with about three sofas.

Stunning property in an amazing location with spectacular views over the Sil river canyon. Spacious, well appointed rooms and the whole place oozes history and atmosphere. A unique experience. We are in the Los Abades restaurant both nights and thought the food excellent.

Felt slightly impersonal as living in a museum. Road to the Parador, not for the feint hearted!

Experiencing an historic location. The quality of the decor. The surrounding woodland and the beauty of the building and courtyard. Parking was good.

The restaurant is not impressive and you have to go quite far at night for an alternative.

We liked the spacious rooms and the view. There is a small lounge area with a fantastic view of the forest and river and if you are into bird spotting it is a great place to listen to their fascinating sounds in the late evening.

Aside from a small first floor terrace there is nowhere to sit outside and enjoy the outstanding surroundings, which was a real disappointment. I think there could have been some more options for casual eating too - the restaurant is very formal.

A truly majestic experience. The room was huge and very quiet - the whole place is extraordinarily peaceful. The spa is fantastic.

I wish there was an easier way of getting here other than private car.

We loved the beautiful setting and views as well as the thoughtful way the renovation preserved the ancient while merging with the modern. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious and each one was unique. We had two rooms and one of them had the huge original stone fireplace. I loved looking out the window in my room at the valley while sitting on the old stone bench the monks must have used for contemplation. Another example is the spa which used to be the wine cellars. The meals we had at the restaurant were superb. There is no reason to leave the Parador to eat elsewhere. Wandering the grounds outside the cafeteria revealed the ancient bread ovens, stone walls and garden. Walking through the monastery revealed how the monks lived and it was so interesting. Parking was tough but not unexpected for such an old structure.

Dinner starts at 20:30 which is too late for non-Spanish guests, an earlier slot would be highly appreciated (but that is true for the entire country ;-). Sitting options at the Cafe in the evening in the courtyard are quite limited. Spa costs of 35€ are a bit high for hotel guests for my taste.

The Parador itself is just great; renovated monastry, renovated with a good feeling integrating old and newer parts, surrounding landscape just beatutiful, divers options for hiking (those directly at the monasatry are not the best, though, and you need to dig through the various options yourself to find the most suited for you), Spa is small but nice.

Nothing - it was all good!

Excallent Parador in a beautifully converted old monastery in the mountains. Great location and views from the hotel. Restaurant and cafe both very good. Plenty to see exploring the old monastery building and church, and local walks.

Beautiful, unique location. Very helpful staff.

The superior rooms had great mountain views but some rooms were right over the delivery area that we found sleep challenging in the morning…fortunately we were able to get our room moved. The restaurant menu, with great service, was the same for lunch and dinner with a relatively small selection of (tasty) entrees…if you are there for one or two nights it is fine but by the 4th day it got a bit repetitious for us. But don’t let either of these comments keep you from visiting this Parador because you would be cheating yourself out of a wonderful experience.

What a history rich and ambiance rich Parador…the superior room was spacious and comfortable…we weren’t in good enough shape to hike the loop trails to the river but we hiked two trails right outside the Parador door that offered fantastic views, wild flowers and historic remnants (e.g. an old mill, an intact chestnut roasting hut, a 6th century fortress)….the restaurant and cafeteria service and quality of the food were solid (the cafeteria provided the salad rich in greens that we had been craving)…the walk behind the parador was history rich and the perfect stroll after a hearty meal…We also enjoyed our day of checking out the area monasteries, churches and towns…No shortage of things to do!!

Very disorganised breakfast - part buffet, part order. Not enough staff. Too many staff at dinner just standing chatting with each other

Amazing building and location Museum and hotel
