Parador Hotel Tordesillas

Spain - Castile - Tordesillas

A typical manor house of Castile converted four star hotel

This ancestral home is located in the historical Castilian town of Tordesillas, an important crossroads since Roman times and is a place where the greenness and nature offer the guest the best of the surrounding landscape.

A beautiful pine grove and a spacious well cared for garden surrounds the Parador giving a sense of tranquillity and placidity.

The Castilian style dominates both the external lines as well as in the interior.

Some of the rooms contain valuable antiques from the country mansions of the area.

The peacefulness which reigns throughout the building is an invitation to rest, take peaceful walks, and swim in the spectacular blue swimming pool.

Among the culinary specialties that are offered here, try the Castile dishes of the area. These include grilled peppers and "cecina de vaca" (dried beef), "gallo de corral turresilano" (free range cockrel), "bacalao a la fonda" (cod with crayfish), and "el manjar de la Vega" (fromage frais dessert).
