Amazing view from fabulous room
Fabulous modern hotel made to look like the castle nearby. Lots of quirky features. Room superb, lovely bed linen and towels. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body cream all available in-room. Balcony lovely. Views are amazing and worth the drive with hairpin bends. Dinner and breakfast great. Service throughout was very good.

The views are stunning! The hotel is unique, warm, beautiful, and comfortable. We sat on the balcony for hours. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We are vegetarian and they were kind enough to make our Paella without the meat. Everyone we encountered who works there was kind and helpful. One day in paradise!

The parador is situated in a spectacular place. We had a superior room, which was very spacious and had a great balcony with a wonderful view. Dinner at the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced.

We had an electric vehicle and charging was so easy at the Parador (unlike many other areas in Andalucia where we had travelled). We were very grateful and impressed with the service of the reception staff.

Quite far from Jaén city center, but in a spectacular location overlooking the city and surrounding mountains. Excellent restaurant and very nice room. Wish we'd had time to try the pool, we'll stay longer next time!
