Parador de Jarandilla

Absolutely stunning hotel with excellent food and exceptional staff. We stayed one night and booked through the Paradores website. We ate bar food in the courtyard and it was 100%. Everywhere else in town was closed on Sunday evening but the hotel was busy and still serving. Beautiful room. A lovely swim. Totally recommended. A veritable palace.

We’d lunched at this Parador in 2023 and loving the area we were keen to experience it as a hotel. It exceeded our expectation and the only problem was we could only stay one night. The work being done at the hotel (which did not interrupt us at all) was explained to us and sound exciting. We look forward to returning for longer in future.

A bit off the beaten path and in a very quiet village, the hotel meets the basics and does have an exceptional restaurant.

This was our 4th visit to this Parador over a number of years. each time in September. We enjoyed it much less than previously. On this occasion, because of a mobility issue we had to have one of the rooms accessible via the lift. This faced the car park, was quite dark, smaller than previous rooms, and had a quite absurd bathroom. The standard 2 basin had been placed where there was just not enough width, so one had to more or less go sideways to get into the bathroom. If one of us was using a wash basin, it was impossible to get in the bathroom. We stayed 4 nights, having dinner twice. On the first night service was very slow which we assumed was due to a large group in another room. However it was worse the next day. We waited from 8 30pm until 9 before even being given a menu. I searched for one but couldn't find any. The food itself was nice enough. First impressions were not as before, because the patio, which is magnificent still had awnings etc, left over from previous days wedding. These were taken down during the following day. On a positive note, reception staff were very helpful. Staff at breakfast were also very helpful.
