Parador de Santo Estevo

Entorno espectacular y el monasterio una pasada , transmite paz y tranquilidad. Todo genial

Silencio, intimidad, descanso… y un servicio y amabilidad excepcionales Entorno natural maravilloso

This Parador is in an awesome location. The rooms and the buildings are excellent. The quality of food at dinner is very poor

This parador is one of the most stunning we have visited. Incredible location (if not easy to find!), beautiful public areas, and the usual very helpful staff. I can highly recommend it. But we did have a couple of issues that slightly disappointed us. Given we reserved a standard room I wasn't expecting one of the best views from our room, but we equally didn't expect to view a bunch of old scaffolding poles lying discarded right in front of our window. These should have been tidied away out of sight. Secondly there was a large birthday party event on the second night we were there. It was noisy, it meant that some of the public areas had been closed off to the rest of us during the day, and it didn't really fit in with the atmosphere of the place, which was more one of quiet contemplation, as should befit an ex-monastery. This is not the first time recently that a parador experience has been slightly tarnished by external parties. Paradores needs to decide on it's corporate identity, is it about a unique experience, or is it purely about making as much money as possible?

It truly is that great as the reviews say! We were coming from the Six senses Duoro which is 5 times more expensive, but this parador is equally great if not better! The rooms, the service, the food, the view, the underground parking, the trails to the river, everything!!

What a combination of a Romanesque monastery, origins dated back to the 6th century, the incredible views of the Sil river canyon, excellent gastronomy and superb customer service! Beautiful room with amazing views of the canyon.
