Parador de Cuenca

This is a stunning Parador in an old convent and it was lovely just to walk around the place. We ate in the courtyard of the cloisters and although it was slow to sign the bill at the end the food, the atmosphere and general enjoyment was at the top of the scale. Our room was overlooking the courtyard which was fine but some rooms overlook the town which will have spectacular views. There is a good sized pool and we managed a swim after wandering around the old town. The iron bridge to the town is in front of the Parador and crosses the gorge. It is a bit wobbly but not as bad as we read in previous reports. Our only regret is that we should have booked for two nights not one. The location is stunning as is the town and Parador. Do visit the cathedral as that is stunning too.

Views are breathtaking and service by staff to match who speak English. Cold AC, wish we got to try the pool with a view but our staff was great.

Sona was so warm and welcoming. Our dinner at this restaurant at the hotel was one of the most magical experiences for me and my daughter. Sona also took the time and care to strategize and organize our transportation to the train station to get to our next location.
