Ambience and location and room

The location is superb as is the ancient building and has spectacular views The town is delightful

We loved staying in this Parador, a beautifully converted castle with a superb location and terrific views over the river. The room was exceptional with a super comfy bed and a lovely sitting area in the window. We didn’t use the restaurant for breakfast or dinner but the bar/cafeteria was excellent with good food, drinks and friendly staff. A wonderfully peaceful hotel to relax in after exploring the historic walled city.

We had our car breakdown the morning of leaving, the hotel staff have been exceptionally helpful and supportive when we have had to re-book the room at very short notice depending on what happened to our car. A reasonable standard of English spoken by the frount end staff. Excellent location situated on and part of the historic fort’s walls, with exceptional views for miles around. The rampart walk is also reasonably well lit for that cool evening stroll. There appears to be a very popular communal swimming and picnic area at the weir down on the river. (We did not avail ourselves so cannot comment further) The central Plaza with all of it eating establishments is only 5 minutes walk away.
