PARADOR DE LEON HOTEL, SPAIN

Historic monastery located on Plaza de San Marcos
PARADOR DE LEON HOTEL, SPAIN

AN ANCIENT BUILDING WITH A LUXURY INTERIOR

Stroll around the stone-flagged courtyard, or lean over the second tier balcony overlooking the formal courtyard gardens, and you may just be able to imagine you can hear the chanting of monks echoing down through the centuries.

Parador de León has been created from the 16th century San Marcos Monastery, itself a replacement for a monastery dating back to King Alfonso VI who ruled the region in the 12th century.

Today, much of the atmosphere and original architecture survives. The exterior is monumental in its form with massive, rounded arches and richly decorated stonework. The interior is a symphony of regal halls, a library, great stone walls hung with tapestries, a refectory-style restaurant with wooden beams and rooms with four poster beds, shuttered windows, fireplaces and period-style furniture.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
