Absolutely stunning location.... Seriously impressive and worth the considerable spend for two nights.... Make sure you try to get one of the various deals available from the Paradores group. Rooms large, spacious, comfortable, clean and did I mention the location ? Brilliant spot with views that will knock your socks off. The rooms have balconies that overlook the local countryside...

Really enjoyed our stay. Hotel is high up in the mountains and has lots of character and charm. Rooms and bathrooms are starting to look old but very comfortable none the less. The staff were very friendly and sorted us out with an evening meal on a lovely outdoor terrace when the restaurant was booked up. We ate simply but... More

Medieval castle, with large rooms, balcony above the cliff, view on the valley and hills all around, huge diner room and lounge with gothic arches, wide stone stairs, knight armours in the corridors and tapestry on the walls... the atmosphere is unique. The room very well furnished and spacious (even if it was a special deal found on internet) with... More

As part of parador self driving tour, we stayed at this amazing property. High on a hill beside Juan, with a fabulous view on both sides this castle delivers atmosphere. It was cold and blustery when we arrived and we quickly fell under its spell. Room was a standard one but still nice and cozy enough. What is wonderful is... More

Stayed here toward end of two-week self guided driving trip through Spain, and loved it. Were checked into Romantica room (No. 44) in this government-owned (think U.S national park service) inn that is steeped in history. It is an easy way to go back in time. Big, drafty rooms with beamed ceilings, narrow window-ways and stucco walls. Bathroom a little... More

Just got back from a wonderful stay at the Parador in Jaen, Andalucia. The Parador is a fantastic converted fort overlooking the city, with wonderful walks along the escarpment to look down on the beautiful cathedral. Our welcome couldn't have been more courteous as we were taken, personally, to our room by the very friendly receptionist. The room was warm... More

This was the best experience we had in all of spain, a few days of luxury in a hotel with the greatest views of the surrounding area. The bar and restaurant were brilliant, and the staff were second to none! More

The road up to the castle is long and winding but rewarding when you reach the top. The reception is a bit reserved, but at least they help to carry the baggage from the reception to the room. Our room was beautiful, with a balcony with a splendid view of the surrounding mountains, we could enjoy the sunset. Bed was... More
