Parador de Tui

We have stayed in three other paradors, but this was the nicest. The staff were magnificent. Although we arrived early, they expedited the cleaning of the room and came to notify us in the lobby as soon as it was available. The room was enormous and comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent.

Great location right on the Camino. Short walk to town centre. Nice pool and gardens to hang out. Very reasonably priced drinks in evening in great setting in terrace. Comfortable room. Lovely bath tub. Great breakfast. Very friendly and efficient staff.

Our first experience of a Parador and we are very happy to recommend! The welcome from the receptionist was warm and genuine. As we were on a driving holiday, this was a one-night stop-over on our journey further north and west. So, a bit of an unknown destination. The parador location is out along the river from the old town of Tui, but there is a peaceful riverside walkway leading directly to it and it is well-worth it for a an hour or so's stroll. A bit of a sleepy, hidden gem when we were there (on a Sunday morning) but gradually, as locals filed out of church and into the cafes, life filled the streets and lanes which are lined with heavy granite buildings, not dissimilar to towns in Cornwall or Scotland. Directly on the Camino, the parador and Tui itself were diverting discoveries for us and much appreciated.

The building is very beautiful and as booked, we had a wonderful view to the river Minho. Beds were very comfortable.

It’s a beautiful historical property on top of the hill and very clean too, breakfast was good. Since we wanted to go early for our Camino walk, and couldn’t make it for breakfast, each of us was given a breakfast loot bag complete with fruits, yogurt, cheese etc.
