We received a friendly welcome and the staff were particularly helpful, accommodating all 14 of us on one table in the restaurant at the Castle.

but this one has the pool, and, whilst we stayed at both, we really liked the friendly, comfortable and spacious atmosphere of this one too.

Some 27 rooms, rustic and comfortable supported by a friendly and helpful staff where nothing was too much trouble for them.

The wait staff were friendly and efficient howevwer and seemed shocked to get a tip.

There is also a pool and a small play park for younger guests.

There were only a few guests at the time when we visited this parador

This place is out of the way, a small hotel, I think I may have been one of 2 guests.

The bathroom was a little tired and cramped,

Situated on a slight hill opposite Monterey castle (yes, the mother of all Montereys) it provides space to relax and chill down from sightseeing and driving.

but the curly young lady at the reception made this difference: always positive thinking, complete comitted to fullfull 100% customer service it was just a pleasure for us to stay in this place.

The paradore is clean, well managed, lovely staff and you will just love the sheets on the bed!

The rooms are big and comfortable and the attendants attentive. Caveats?

Magnificent breakfast, comfortable beds, helpful staff whose English easily outranked my faltering Spanish.

Angel on reception deserves special mention as he made our stay both memorable and comfortable.

Front desk came out in the rain to repair one of the bikes so they can go on their ride.

The staff in the restaurant were excellent and very attentive.

The staff at the reception desk was very kind and the food and breakfast was of excellent quality.

If you have time, go visit Chaves (in Portugal) and Ourense.

but found nothing of particular interest there except a confusing one way system and a few specialist deli's which were worth visiting to salivate at the cold meats and check out the local wines.
