Parador De Monforte De Lemos

The Parador has amazing history and location. It sits over looking Monforte de Lemos, which is an ok walk down to the town but is a little challenging walking back up (there is a taxi rank in the town). The room we had looked out over the entrance and was large and clean but lacked style / a plushness considering it’s the best hotel in town. It was unfortunate that the pool area was closed, so bar the court yard for drinks / food there were no outside spaces to relax. We ate lunch on arrival which was excellent, breakfast was fine, lots of choice but €20 each.

Excellent parador in 400 year old monastery high above town. Plenty of parking, staff friendly and helpful, room large and well equipped. Restaurant was superb, great service and very high quality food. Not much to see in Monforte, but a drive through the Sil valley is stunning.

Luxurious stay in former monastery was perfect! Easy, friendly check in, wonderful room and wonderful breakfast. Location can’t be beat. Parking was no problem. Lovely courtyard adjoining the bar. Interesting and beautiful building adjoining a church.

The place is spectacular. The staff was very helpful. Could benefit from a good cleaning. The food was terrible. We have eaten some very nice meals in many paradores but here, no can do. Even the food in the cafeteria was mediocre. It is a pity bcs it is very convenient to be able to eat right there. Needs improvement.
