Parador de Cazorla

Great location as long as you are prepared for the drive to Cazorla itself. Perfect for the national park. Beautiful gardens and pool to relax in. Especially liked the wooded avenue down to the pool. The staff were very helpful with our late night arrivals, and even recommended groups to see at the Cazorla blues festival. Very quiet at night and in general.

Quiet location in the mountains. Interesting building, good parking, a restaurant (that was open!), bar and bar food at reasonable price.

This review is from Howard. The room was booked by my wife Catherine.This parador is in a stunning location at the top of the road, twenty minutes above Cazorla at 1300 metres elevation. My room was massive, really comfortable and with an amazing view. It was one of the nicest rooms I’ve ever stayed in, anywhere. On arrival, I paid an extra 10 euros per night for a room with a view. This was certainly money well spent! The breakfast was excellent, if a little pricey at 19 euros. I spent two nights here and had two evening meals, venison both times which was excellent. My only criticism was the quantity of vegetables with the venison. It was minimal and, on the second night, the total quantity amounted to two desert spoons only. Despite this, the quality of the food and the friendly service was excellent. I ate both my evening meals outside on the terrace, admiring the stupendous view …perfect! The staff could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. Marina on the front desk was extremely helpful and gave me all the information I needed on the walking trails in the area and even had the Spanish instructions translated into English for me. She was a real standout. Moreover, she speaks excellent English. Brava Marina!

Beautiful location, lovely grounds, comfy lounge areas and quality dining experience.

Location, the way the hotel is set in the grounds and it felt like a country house rather than a hotel.
