Parador de Pontevedra
Wat gasten zeggen
This was a rest day stop for us on the Camino and we stayed 2 nights, This was the second Parador we stayed at on our Camino and this Parador hotel was much more of what we expected of a Parador. Our room had some distinctive charm we had hoped for. The hallways and gathering areas had old world decorative elegance and furnishings. The old town location in Pontevedra is nice and safe. We did not choose dinner at this Parador since we wanted an outside of the old town "locals" experience. First night dinner - Semplice. Trattoria Italiana (very nice - 10 minute walk), Second night - Pizzaría NONNA CLARA trattoria (a very nice owner and the pizza was good).

Absolutely stunning historic villa in the most prime location in Pontevedra's old city; there isn't a better choice for history buffs (or Camino de Santiago walkers; it's also right on the Way.) The concierge staff is absolutely lovely! They were warm and welcoming and helped us resolve multiple small things in fluent English and German. Super hospitality. The room was a large suite with full bathtub, sitting room, wardrobe, desk and large bed. Vintage Spanish design with modern touches; everything very clean and proper. I loved the big old iron key to our room; very atmospheric. We slept wonderfully and I really appreciated the antiques and original building features on display; I felt like a medieval countess.

It was a place of character (and creaking floorboards) The surrounding buildings of Pontevedra were in keeping with the historic ambience. The room was large, the bathroom very good, the bed huge and comfortable.

wonderful two nights at this Parador. A little bit of luxury during our Camino trip. Beautiful building and very helpful staff. Lots of little areas and space to sit and have some quiet time. Beds really comfortable and what wonderful sheets!

I love to stay in Paradors if possible when in Spain so I booked this parador for my Camino walking friends and me. Pontevedra is a great town and this parador is very nicely located to see all the points of interest in town. You can see the history thoughout the hotel. The hotel staff was kind to arrange a taxi ride that would sit and wait for us as we toured the monastery of Xoan de Poio so we could see the huge mosaic mural of the Camino (it was spectacular). We would be walking past the monastery the next day, but it would be closed- so taxiing out and back was our only option. The rooms at the hotel were comfortable.

The hotel is beautiful and immaculately kept. The room and bathroom were spacious and well-equipped. The pillow and bed were comfortable and I liked the sitting area and the small balcony. The room was quiet and had a lovely view of the outdoor cafe and garden. The dining room was attractive and pleasant and the breakfast was fine.

Come for the Parador experience, including a phenomenal restaurant. After our stay in Pontevedra, we are thinking of doing a trip just to a selection of Parador experiences in Spain. This place is a restored 16th century palace and treats you like you're a personal guest of Count Maceda himself. Large room, semi-comfy beds. But mostly the restaurant, which specializes in local cuisine. We couldn't decide on the dishes, so got more than we could eat just to taste. Do not regret this decision one bit. For breakfast make sure to get the CHURROS. Just do it.

This was my second stay at the Parador de Pontevedra while walking the Portuguese Coastal camino. The hotel is historic and a lovely treat for leg weary pilgrims. The room was warm, spacious, and very comfortable, with windows that open to allow fresh air in the room. The location is ideal, not far from the camino, and while located in the historic old town, is only a short walk to cafes, farmacias, supermercados and the newer part of town. I would recommend this as a splurge for pilgrims.

I loved the day staff at the desk. Very clean, professional, helpful, and friendly. Also, the head waiter in the dining room is so good. I loved my stay at the Parador. It was great! The beds were comfortable as well.

Gorgeous facility. I was put in room 340, and there were odd noises in the room at night. I know it's a creaky old place. Seriously, this Paradores is wonderful. I requested a room change to a room with more light, and they have accommodated me. There are 47 rooms available. If you're unhappy with your room request a change. A staff worker here told me the old 'Duena'---the owner--may be a spirit here. Take it with a grain of salt.
