Parador De Avila

Great Parador

The Avila Parador was delightful - excellent staff and a central location within walking distance of the restaurants and sights. The one problem is parking - there are comparatively few parking slots at the hotel. When we arrived, we were able to park the car temporarily in the hotel car park (blocking several other cars!) whilst unloading our cases. But I then had to move the car three streets away to find a space on a public road with white lines (which is free parking). There were hardly any spaces available on the ‘white line’ roads. The alternative would be to park slightly nearer the hotel on a ‘blue line’ road but you have to pay at a meter for blue line parking - not cheap! The following morning, I watched (like a hawk!) as guests checked out and moved my car into the hotel car park as soon as a space appeared. We have no hesitation in recommending the delightful Avila Parador but just be ready for the parking challenge!

We enjoyed staying at the Parador in Avila. Excellent room. Helpful ataff. Outstanding breakfast, and delicious dinner, though the service was too slow for us, toward the end of a 3.5 wk trip in Spain. The Parador location makes it very easy to get outside Avila's famous city walls and walk around the entire old ciry for different views of the ancient walls. If we return to Avila, we would definitely stay at the Parador.. Highly recommended.

Comfortable beds. Great shower. Right next to the awesome city walls. Friendly staff. Loved it.
