As the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, this vast country offers some of Europe’s most dramatic landscapes, as well as some of its tastiest cuisine.

El hotel ocupa parte de un majestuoso palacio-castillo que data del siglo XV y ha sido declarado Monumento Nacional. Las zonas comunes y algunas de las habitaciones se encuentran dentro del palacio-castillo, y las habitaciones restantes se encuentran en un edificio anexo. The hotel occupies part of a majestic palace-castle that dates back to the 15th Century and has been declared a National Monument. The communal areas and some of the bedrooms are within the palace-castle itself, and the remaining rooms are housed in an annex building.

A welcoming, clean comfortable hotel

A good quality hotel, but my advice is to book early and become an Amigo. It is clean, comfortable and well run. The only downside is that public parking has to be used and this is some distance away. We knew this when we booked however.

A really beautiful castle with deep historic roots, which you come to learn about throughout your stay… from start to finish our stay was amazing with great service and a beautiful room! Breakfast was perfect and absolutely to die for. I hope to return soon and stay for even longer than the time before…. Only down side was there was no pool to avail of, however I believe that there will be one by end of year!

Palacio de Canedo - Prada a Tope

You can’t miss this place

Reviewed By Ninelegoctopus

This is a fantastic experience. We are walking the Camino. Forget about Ponferrada. Take a day off and spend it here. Prada, the owner, is around and a character worth meeting. The food is great and the wine even better. Very quiet and beautiful views . Good for a Camino stopover and probably better for a weekend getaway.

Parador Castillo de Monterrei

Parador Monterrei

Reviewed By Chris H

Over the last six years we have stayed in almost 70 of the paradores and have been made gold amigos. This was the second time we had stayed in this parador, we had returned because we enjoyed our first visit so much. How we wish we hadn’t returned. We had booked two rooms for our family and were disappointed not to be staying in the castle itself but in a newly refurbished three room annexe called the parsonage. Very disappointing, with no view or balcony. We ate in the restaurant and ordered a bottle of white wine to accompany our starters. It arrived well after the starters had been presented. The service was appallingly slow especially considering the small number of diners. However it was the food itself which was really awful. Massively overcooked scallops, seafood crepes which were baking hot in parts and stone cold in others - classic evidence of microwave cooking. I won’t catalogue every dish but they were all awful and either sent back or left unfinished. We have always found that dining in paradores has been excellent. This place on this occasion was not. The staff attitude was pretty poor also from check in to check out. Avoid this place and go to all the others.
