Parador de Santo Estevo

An exceptional building in a truly wonderful setting. The building is a tranquil, spacious maze of history on a steep valley side in a natural forest. There are windows of view over the Sil valley. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and relaxing. Lovely walks from the Parador, through the woods with hardly a soul around.

Dreamy location, comfortable room. Free parking. Good restaurant and cafeteria. Good value half board option. Lots of comfy couches and rooms to explore.

Staff seemed a little uncomfortable with English speakers.

One of the best paradors we've stayed in in terms of food quality and price (we stayed on Thursday night). Super comfortable bed and the Chromecast worked which meant I could access my Netflix account and not be limited to Spanish stations like in other paradors. Beautifully renovated monastery and the cloisters are free to visit. This was our second time here although we only went to the restaurant the first time for a superb meal. Cafeteria food was okay and a bit pricey but to be expected. There are trails around the parador if you want to be a bit active.

Nothing really but maybe waive the entrance fee to the Church for guests?

restoration of the monastery amazing

rooms dark - staff indifferent to needs of guests - no place to sit out on terrace in the sun. not a lot to do around the place .
