Search hotels in Parada del Monte

This beautiful boutique hotel is a true gem - hidden in an only seemingly small cottage in a tiny village at the end of the world (or at least the end of Spain), This area few kilometers from the border with Portugal is amazing and begs to be explored - ancient megalithic sites, ruins of Roman conquest and hot spring baths and beautiful tall mountains - and this lovingly restored and kept hotel is the perfect base. The restaurant wasn't open when we stayed but breakfast was plenty. The rooms were beautiful and the large common areas invited to sit and talk or pick up a book.

Everything. The staff amazing, deco abd service

The service was absolutely gorgeous. The ladie who received us the first night was very attentive and friendly, she recommended us few places around the city for us to visit. Then, Manuel, in the morning said hello to us with a lovely coffee; he was absolutely friendly, chatty, he gave us some recommendations to go around the city but we had another plans. He encouraged us to come back with more time to enjoy the city and we will probably do. I do recommend this hotel 100000%.

The location of the apartment is fantastic, right at the centre of the village. The place itself is fairly new and spacious. Kitchen is well equipped. Very comfortable to stay and great place to stay.

Very nice people in the village, jacuzzi eas great, eating eas great. I could stay forever

A cute, querky little house, in a tiny village in the mountains, with three foot thick solid, stone walls, in a National Park. What more could one possibly ask for? Except of course: friendly and efficient hosts and cleanliness - both of which were supplied as well, in abundance! The owners arrived within minutes of me phoning and were assiduous in showing me everything. I loved this little house with its strange semi spiral staircase where the bottom step was huge but the top once miniscule. It has lovely, quite large windows, given the style and age of the property, which means you wake up to the sounds of birdsong and insects and views over the roofs of the old houses up into to the mountains. Very rural. The kitchen has all you need and the sitting area is very pleasant. The outside area is very spartan with only a table and four chairs on the concrete, but I suppose it is perfectly adequate. The internet worked perfectly, even outside at the table on the patio. Lots of things to do nearby - on the top of my list were the Roman ruins and hot water springs at Bano a few kilometres up the road towards Ourense. I liked the two pools (partly now submerged by the dam) next to each other - one fed with hot water from the earth the other with cold water from a man made stream from the mountains. And there are the remains of a Roman fort within easy walking distance. Those Romans knew how to build! If you visit the hot springs near the little house, be careful - they are very hot (50C) - I was told by a German who had burned his feet paddling in them. One thing: if you are using Booking.com, be careful of following their maps. I came from Portugal and the map showed me the upper route to the village before you cross the stream/river. It is almost impossibly narrow and I was sure I was going to bash my hire car, but managed just to get through. There is a much better route where you turn off at Vilamea a couple of kilometeres further along the road.

Location, scenery, peacefulness.

Wonderful accommodation. Ramon was a great host. Really peaceful location.
