We visited in May (2 nights) with friends. For the gardens May is maybe one of the best, and quietest, months: On Tuesday morning we were amongst only 30 others in the gardens which were immaculate and had vivid and fresh colours bathed in sunshine without it not being too hot. The kiosks were closed, but not a problem with... more

We stayed at the Monasterio de Piedra hotel in May 2008. We booked the 'especial matrimonio' room (a suite, 157 euros+VAT ) and a "habitacion claustro' (cloister room, 105 euros +VAT) for one night. The price included free parking at the monastery, buffet breakfast and free entry to the gardens for 24 hours. The suite room and its bathroom was... more

we arrived on spain´s national holiday (12.10.) after a drive through the dry mountains of Aragon. It was a real surprise to see a green valley full of ponds, waterfalls and brooks. It must be most appealing to spaniards who are used to desert-like landcapes. We really enjoyed the stroll in the park. The hotel itself is a converted monastery,... more

This was our 3rd stop on our honeymoon in Spain (previously Barcelona and Cadaques). I picked the Monstery as a unique place to stay and based on the reviews and things I had read about the grounds. The gardens, waterfalls and grottos are amazing. You can spend the entire day walking around the park, the monastery and the ruins. What... more

The Monastery was the Jewel of our trip! We stayed at some amazing Paradores including the Granada at the Alhambra (which was wonderful) but the Monastery was phenominal. You really feel like you're experiencing history and the gardens ... all the waterfalls ... absolutely beautiful! I can only imagine it in the Spring. I can’t say enough about it ...... more

September 2003: During the period that we lived in Holland for 5 years we travelled extensively around Spain. The last large region of the country that we hadn't visited was the northern third above Madrid. We came upon the Monasterio in the Special Places travel book and were completely awestruck by the property and its location next to the park.... more

We were guests at the Monasterio de Piedra in February, 2003. The former monastery provides excellent accommodations. Our only problem was dinner. Being Americans we prefer eating dinners earlier and the restaurant at the monastery did not open until 9 PM. But, that is our problem. The park adjoining the monastery is amazing! There is nothing in the landscape to... more

Many years ago-in 1965- my wife, myself, and another American couple were on a driving trip through Spain. Found ourselves far from anywhere late at night. Using a travel guide we noticed the Monasterio de piedro near us (somewhere between Zaragosa and Madrid). Followed the map and found the hotel. Was suprised at the modern rooms and private bath (this... more

A pesar de su magnífica ubicación y de ser un hotel en lo que fue anteriormente un monasterio, el precio... more
