    Spectacular setting

    Liked: The hotel sits in a spectacular setting atop a rock promontory overlooking the city of Jean. It adjoins a castle and is built like one. All staff were extremely efficient and friendly and the quality of food and wine for such a hotel were great.

    Disliked: Everything was great so no complaints

    Beautiful Parador in a lovely setting

    Liked: Beautiful Parador fantastic scenery right next to the castle Staff were great parking right outside and safe and free

    Disliked: 15 mins out of the city so used taxis don’t drive parking isn’t easy.The carpet on the main corridor was all crinkled up and worn we found it quite awkward and a bit dangerous and totally unnecessary when there is a beautiful floor underneath!!!
