Parador de Carmona

Everything! The situation was stunning, the staff were always helpful, courteous and interested in all the guests. My wife has coeliac disease and they could not have been helpful in allowing her to have a stay without any concerns for her health. The dinners and breakfasts were great with a range of delicious dishes. We thought the swimming pool water was a bit cold, but it was in fact just right to refresh one in the heat of the day. Our tour of the charming city of Carmona was the best of our Andalusian trip. What a lovely and interesting community. The bedroom on the 3rd floor was spacious, clean and comfortable. We were sorry to leave. We will return.

The views were exceptional so peaceful reminded me of the African plain without the big five 😊 The hotel itself was beautiful so moorish in style. Food was very good. Restaurant could do with sound proofing as we had big groups on our stay and the noise levels could be high. That said you could escape to the beautiful lounge areas which were peaceful and calm. Swimming pool was lovely but a treck down steps so although the pool catered for anyone with disabled needs not sure how they would get down to it? So need to check that? All in all fabulous 🥰

The position of the parador and the architecture are absolutely stunning. It is like living in a palace! :) The staff were also brilliant. Both Isa and Sol on reception were both super helpful at all times. Really great. The Mudejar style patio is a fabulous space to while away the hours whether reading, drinking or eating. All of the leisure rooms are fantastic. Well worth a visit if only for the architecture and the location. Brilliant. Also, free parking, some of which is part-covered, makes any stay trouble-free when arriving and departing by car. Overall, absolutely fantastic!

It is in a fantastic position with fantastic views. Our room looked East over the Pool (way below) and miles and miles over the plain. Fantastic sun rise photos! Check in staff were a delight and very helpful (even showed us a phone video of a winter storm breaking in through the glass doors). Room was excellent (it’s a Parador so rooms are usually big with older furniture) and very clean. Very comfortable bed and good toilet facilities (toiletries usual Parador standard). As mentioned the public areas are close to spectacular. A drink on the terrace with that view or in the Courtyard with the fountain – just wow. Breakfast was a good cold buffet style (as per Parador standard) with hot items on request with fast service. We ate in the restaurant and it was of good quality with local area items. Service was good.

We stayed in a room with a balcony and had beautiful views of the plains below. As the hotel is on a hill you also get uninterrupted views for miles from the breakfast hall and we sat by a window every morning to have our breakfast and enjoy the views. There were plenty of Spanish style pastries and you can also order a cooked breakfast if that's what you prefer.
