For a hotel to be truly peaceful it needs to work properly. As noted elsewhere, table service often leaves a lot to be desired, but once the order has been taken the food is excellent. Breakfast, however, can be a far more frustrating experience. So long as the buffet is laid out (on time, please, guys) all is well, but... More

I have just returned from the Convento de la Parra and it was just perfect! This is the ideal place to relax ... Forget the breakfast and dinner from 7, mobile phones in public spaces (are not welcome), television in the rooms... The time here has another dimension. It is the ideal place to escape the stress and routine, not... More

Hi Everyone, I've been to Convento La Parra for 4 nights in August of 2008. The review that I leave here is all good things: - Quiet and romantic place - Confy rooms (not to spacious but ok) - Very good restaurant with imaginative dishes (althouth a litlle bit expensive) - Cleanness of the spaces - The poll (little but...

just back from short break at la parra . Had a fantastic time. Room great, food great, service great. would recommend it to anyone who wants to go somewhere off beaten track and away from tourist trail. If you do visit check out the walking routes between the local villages: we went on a 4.6 km walk to the next... More

As mentioned in the previous review, the Covento de la Parra is unique in its setting. Since the rooms are the old convento cells, they vary in size. We had booked a standard double and the first room we were given, which was on the ground/basement floor had a small window that looked out to their parking area. Since It... More

This hotel is really different, everything is built to keep the authenticity of the place. It is built in an old monastery, very well taken care, and with the minimum of modern things. So, it has great historical value, the building is beautiful - it looks great in pictures as you can see in the site, BUT it lacks the... More

My son and daughter in law stages this as the venue for their wedding. It was superb and I cannot thank all those who contributed enough!....... this is a perfect blend of traditional Spanish culture complimenting sophisiticated and comfortable surroundings. While the originality of the convent is retained, it takes vision to balance those sometimes conflicting demands of new and... More

Hospederia can write the book on attention to detail, from the presentation of the four different types of jamon iberico with a glass of chilled white in the courtyard for lunch to the little box of matches on the table in your room to light the church candles by the side of your bath. The desrciption of minimalist meets monastic... More

We spent two full weeks at this wonderful hotel. We needed relaxation and we got it. The hotel has lots of nooks and crannies where you can totally relax, whether at the poolside or on one of the day beds on the first floor balcony. The food was excellent too, with very friendly service. We were very well looked after.... More
