just back from short break at la parra . Had a fantastic time. Room great, food great, service great. would recommend it to anyone who wants to go somewhere off beaten track and away from tourist trail. If you do visit check out the walking routes between the local villages: we went on a 4.6 km walk to the next... more

As mentioned in the previous review, the Covento de la Parra is unique in its setting. Since the rooms are the old convento cells, they vary in size. We had booked a standard double and the first room we were given, which was on the ground/basement floor had a small window that looked out to their parking area. Since It... more

This hotel is really different, everything is built to keep the authenticity of the place. It is built in an old monastery, very well taken care, and with the minimum of modern things. So, it has great historical value, the building is beautiful - it looks great in pictures as you can see in the site, BUT it lacks the... more

My son and daughter in law stages this as the venue for their wedding. It was superb and I cannot thank all those who contributed enough!....... this is a perfect blend of traditional Spanish culture complimenting sophisiticated and comfortable surroundings. While the originality of the convent is retained, it takes vision to balance those sometimes conflicting demands of new and... more

Hospederia can write the book on attention to detail, from the presentation of the four different types of jamon iberico with a glass of chilled white in the courtyard for lunch to the little box of matches on the table in your room to light the church candles by the side of your bath. The desrciption of minimalist meets monastic... more

We spent two full weeks at this wonderful hotel. We needed relaxation and we got it. The hotel has lots of nooks and crannies where you can totally relax, whether at the poolside or on one of the day beds on the first floor balcony. The food was excellent too, with very friendly service. We were very well looked after.... more

My husband and I stayed at the hip Convento La Parra for two nights in July and loved the hotel so much that we didn't venture outside the convent walls for the duration of our stay. The hotel is carefully decorated in a minimalist style (lots of whitewash and stone) with attention to the smallest detail, from billowing muslin curtains... more

This hotel is marvellous. The rooms are superb and the surroundings and tranquility are to be enjoyed. The rooms are designed in a minimalist way and very clean and fresh. The staff are always helpful and Javier is a great host. We have booked our wedding here for 2007 and looking forward to it. Will be back there this summer more

It was a big decepcion for us. Even if it's a nice place, service is poor and so is the cooking. But, above all, we had a problem with our car (a robbery) and they did not give us any kind of support. It was bank holiday and they didn't even help us to find an open garage. Some people... more
