Parador de Benavente

Todo perfecto, mención especial para la amabilidad de Alfonso y el personal del restaurante.

I didn’t really discover much about Benavente which seems a large modern industrial town, but it is a convenient place to stop over if travelling north/ south or east/west in that corner of Spain. For these reasons I can’t recommend a stay of more than two nights and the impression we had Waltham few people would stay for a week. But the rooms are very spacious and well equipped. The superior rooms are a little larger and open onto the garden/swimming pool. The parador itself is a historic building , great took around and has great views over the neighbouring countryside (although that isn’t particularly spectacular. The restaurant is very good and breakfasts offered a good selection Car parking is outside the hotel and not monitored but we experienced no problems. I’d happily stay again if passing that way.

Set in a lovely location atop a hill, next to a park and close to town. Bedrooms are spacious, beds comfortable and bathrooms modern. This parador is pet friendly, and the onsite Staff is wonderful BUT they require a level of documentation about the dog that is excessive. Hopefully this requirement will change and they will embrace their ability to be truly pet friendly.
