Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a gem, with charming and characterful rooms that are comfortable and spacious. The service is exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Situated in a striking location atop a hill, it offers easy access to wine tasting and incredible hikes. The dining experience, though impressive, could benefit from better organization. Overall, it's a delightful place with great value for the experience it offers.
The Parador offers a very spacious and comfortable stay with tastefully decorated rooms featuring a wonderfully comfy, big bed, and a luxurious bath. The service is up to par, with particularly welcoming and helpful staff throughout. The location dominates the town of Monforte de Lemos, allowing for easy access to wine tasting in the 'Ribiera Sacra' region. Dining is a pleasant experience with plentiful options. However, some funny mistakes during meals can be entertaining. Overall, a great choice for a tranquil and scenic getaway.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The room was tastefully decorated with a wonderfully comfy, big bed - and the holiest of holies - a bath. The location was superb, offering a fantastic view and being in a beautiful area. The service was particularly welcoming and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay. However, the dining experience was a bit underwhelming for the price, lacking some variety in the offerings.
The hotel had good twin beds for us, yummy food but was filthy dirty in certain areas. The service was excellent overall though the staff seemed overworked. The location was great for exploring the 'Ribiera Sacra' region but in need of refurbishment. The dining experience was attractive with some minor shortcomings. The facilities were adequate.
