Charming hotel with great views
29 Sep 2026
Stayed for two nights before moving on to Seville . For us the location was brilliant- challenging walk into the centre but we are reasonably fit so chose to not use taxis. Lovely hotel with rustic charm, great views from our balcony. The hotel is situated right next to the Castle and we went late afternoon/early evening so a pleasant stroll. Loved being able to sit outside with a drink at any tim… Stayed for two nights before moving on to Seville .

parador in paradise!

What a gorgous place! We'd bookmarked it as a beautiful place we'd like to stay one day. But this was only a single day ashore from a cruise so we decided to get an Uber up the steep hill to the castle, then walk back down. The parador is very close to the castle so an ideal coffee stop. A nice young man met us, we explained we could only stop for coffee but he still offered us a table on the terr… What a gorgous place!
