Overview

We loved our two night stay at Argómaniz! We arrived ridiculously late (long story) but the staff didn’t turn a hair. I knew we might not arrive before the restaurant closed so had e-mailed them and they suggested I rang if that was the case, and they would save us some food, so when I did they asked us what we would like! Finally arriving at 12.20, we were provided with omelette, bread, a huge cold meat platter and a very welcome drink – and relaxed! Breakfast was varied – eggs, cold meat, cereals, bread, fruit, yogurts. Meals were served in the top floor restaurant with its amazing wooden beamed ceiling. Dinner the next day was delicious too with plenty of choices of local food and wine. We spent the next day mainly out on the terrace looking at the wonderful view. You can order drinks and snacks of various types whenever you want. The blend of old buildings and modern comforts is something that Paradors do very well and this was no exception – despite its age, the whole place was accessible and comfortable and the food and the staff were great. After the slightly hassled journey there, it was a wonderful place to chill out before journeying on.

Transport & Parking

Some of the disabled parking spaces were on a slope and impossible to access but others were fine, plus they are happy for you to pull up by the door to drop off/pick up.

Access

Our room was spacious, there is lift access to all floors and step-free access throughout. There is the occasional uneven flagstone but they are easily avoided. The restaurant, bar and terrace all have ample room and good solid tables.

Toilets

The loos are fine. In the ensuite bathroom, there were grabrails by the loo and shower, but only an ordinary stool to use in the shower, which wasn't as supportive as a proper shower stool would be. Also, the hairdryer required the button to be pressed continuously while operating it.

Staff

Very pleasant and helpful.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I do recommend the Parador experience but as each is individual, you do need to do some research and not all of them are accessible.
