Pazo Arretén

Attention to detail - clean - wonderful staff

This was a beautiful place, with a fascinating history (Rosalie de Castro had lived there while writing some of her most significant books). Rooms are spacious and well appointed; common areas are welcoming and lovely. There's a beautiful little chapel on the property as well. Staff is engaging and helpful. The restaurant was not open for dinner while I was there, but staff drove us to a nearby (and excellent, if pricey) restaurant. The breakfast was excellent (but plan on settling in; it is lovely and the chef is very accommodating, but not quick). For those walking the Camino, it is located very close to the trail, but a 25 minute walk away from town.

Place is beautiful. Staff was great.

This historic property was beautifully remodeled with all of the modern comforts.

I've been parador-hopping, solo on my bicycle, all over Spain. When booking(dot)com offered me this property it exuded a lot of parador vibe. The property, in real life, did not disappoint. I was provided with a lovely combination of quality accommodation encapsulated within centuries of wonderful history. Possibly the highpoint of my stay - of no interest to most - was the accommodation provided for my bike. My tired and dusty bike spent the night in the monk's room right beside the chapel. Happy bike. Dinner, white linen dining, outdoors in the main courtyard, was also quite lovely. The limited menu was a little bit disappointing, but what was provided was very good.

Excellent place. Great restaurant. Absolutely to recommend!
