Absolutely beautiful location in the mountains...there is a lovely footpath along the river directly behind the parador where we enjoyed views, saw lovely cows, etc. Staff was extremely professional, which is not totally surprising since it's a state parador but even so they were exceptionally friendly. Our room was impeccable and spacious. My advice to anyone staying here would be to take sufficient time to wander and explore the building and property. The remaining parts of the former monastery/chapel are amazing, and the entire property is full of interesting placards explaining various aspects of the building's history and the area's geography. I really enjoyed our stay.
