Beautiful property in an amazing setting. high quality towels, linen. Beds a bit hard and pillows not too comfortable. The only thing that truly bothered me was the fact that we did not want breakfast, only coffee ( that we would have paid for anyway) and the person managing the breakfast area said we would have to wait until the bar would open at 11 am so we could get coffee, when there was a perfectly working coffee maker in the breakfast area.
Otherwise, the beauty of the surrounding area makes up for the lack of customer service for that one gentleman.

A great experience at parador

The first time I’ve stayed in a parador. Secluded and a real experience in the mountains overlooking a lake
We had an upgraded room which gave us a wonderful view. Not for you if you want disco and nightlife. Great if you like the outdoors and peace and quiet.

Nearly very good.

The Hotel was good. The dinner restaurant was excellent. The breakfast was disappointing. No facilities in the rooms to make beverages. The beds were too hard, so did not manage to sleep very well. Nobody asked us if we had enjoyed our stay, which was unusual. Spectacular views.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff friendly, however the pool closed for the season the day before we arrived without notification. This was one of the reasons for us choosing the hotel so it was a big disappointment.

Views and views

About my 7th stay here. Very nice Parador.
I have only ever tried the bar food, as I find dinner starts a little late (20:30) after a day's driving, but the club sandwhich is just fine, coupled with a glass or 2 of Rioja.
Rooms are very comfortable and generously proportioned. Do make the effort to get a view overlooking the dam if you are spending any time on your room´s balcony.
I find the prices good value for money and the staff are always friendly.

Great hotel, disappointing staff!

Wonderful situation, great views and great walks. Very nice Parador and the Reception staff were very good indeed. Less so the dining room staff. At breakfast and dinner they were not at all attentive to guests' needs. If you wanted something then you had to get up and walk to a member of staff to get their attention. At dinner, meals were often delivered to the wrong table. At breakfast, no member of staff came to your table to offer you tea or coffee or a cooked beakfast. They need a lesson in customer service!

What a beautiful place. If you’re coming from Barcelona this is worth the 25 minute drive to feel like you’re in the middle of the country. The setting is wonderful and the rooms with a view are worth the drive.

Excellent hotel in a fantastic location

The reception function was excellent. The restaurant meals were only ok - the menu needs variation - and the breakfast buffet was not of four-star quality.

It was, however, a beautiful place to spend a few quiet days.

Beautiful location but remote

Had Superior Room overlooking Pool and Lake. with view to die for. Room good size plus large balcony with table and chairs if you want to sit outside, relax and enjoy the view. Bed mattress not the most comfortable but perfectly OK. and rest of room facilities very good and clean.
Very good buffet breakfast plus able to order freshly made scrambled eggs at no extra cost which was a bonus. Ate in restaurant for one evening meal but thought this was overpriced and only average.
Swimming pool and surrounding area very clean and free towels given out by attendant.
The hotel location is quite remote, which has its benefits in some respects, but does mean using car to get to any where else in the evening to eat.

Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location

We had a lovely comfortable room upgraded to one with a private balcony and gorgeous view when we booked in a bit early. Lovely to relax in and beside the good sized pool and appreciated separate swimming towels each time. Food was good but service pretty slow, even in our relaxed holiday mood - that is the reason for the 4 for hotel staff because otherwise they were charming and helpful. The other reason for the 4 overall was breakfast - it was tasty and varied but at 16€ we thought it was a bit steep and there was no possibility of something simpler, cheaper and quicker the second morning when we wanted to get away a bit earlier. Overall though a little bit of luxury at a reasonable price in a stunning location.

Disappointing hotel

This is a parador in an old mansion on a lake which is very remote from town. Unfortunately, the sheets smelled smoky in our nonsmoking room, and the nonsmoking rooms have a view of a wall. Dinner was quite disappointing. The rabbit, sausage, and rice dish was filled with small shards of bone. The veal dish was good. We would not stay there again.

Beautiful place, good sightseeing, good walks

We have stayed at least 20 times at the Parador of Vic, sometimes when passing through Catalonia on our way north, other times using it as a base for exploring the region and visiting the great Romanesque churches and monasteries. This time we stayed three nights, and every day we drove way up into the high Pyrenees to see different areas. Some of the places we visited were Ripoll, S. Joan de las Abadesas, Beget, Rocabruna, Queralbs and the Val de Nuria, Dorria, and most special of all, S.Jaume de Frontanya. Every evening when we got back to the parador we took a long walk, enjoying the dramatic beauty of the landscape, and had a drink before dinner on the terrace overlooking the lake and its spectacular setting. It was altogether a glorious time.

Excellent parador....beautiful surroundings

The staff was very kind and accommodating....the room view was breathtaking. Yes, the décor is a tad outdated but who cares when one is surrounded by so much beauty. The breakfast buffet is substantial; room service is reasonable. The terrace attached to our room only needed a chaise lounge chair or two and we probably never would have left. The fact that the room thermostat can not be adjusted room by room is the only uncomfortable part of the room accommodation. Our room was very warm in the evening....and opening the terrace doors would have let the nighttime bugs inside. The staff was very apologetic and explained the room temperatures were not adjustable. I did notice that the next day the room was more temperature comfortable so I think the issue may have been addressed. I would stay at Parador Vic again in a heartbeat.and truly thank the staff for making our stay such a fantastic one.

A night in the Parador you have to go looking for

Arriving up a long winding road in torrential rain (in Spain in August!), we found ourselves in a large comfortable room with a magnificent view, one of the very best we have ever had. We had a successful dinner with, in particular, a wine list which was short and good value. The next morning, the sky had cleared to show the view of the night before, but now with the ever-changing light of the rising sun: unforgettable. Breakfast was excellent and the staff efficient and pleasant at all stages.

We stopped en route to France from Southern Spain. It was well sign posted and stunning views on the way there. The hotel is fantastic, the restaurant is 1st class and the location is amazing. Picking up the route back to the motorway was straightforward along new dual carriageway. I cannot recommend it highly enough

Really nice location, stunning lake views. Worth saying however that the decor in the hotel is far more modern than I'd like. Also our room was a little sparse -- large, but no cupboards... weird... Breakfast was good, service was great. Nothing at all nearby, but thats sort of the point!

las vistas, la ubicacion, la piscina, el espacio exterior , todo esto bien, pero por dentro le falta una actualizacion de punta a punta del hotel, desde el hall, las habitaciones, quitar moquetas.... en fin, como anclado en los 80. la cafeteria muy muy justa, el servicio normal, pero la imagen interior, incluso los uniformes de los camareros.. necesita un formateo

Situado en un paraje increíble frente al pantano de Sau las nubes cada día bajan y por la mañana dibujan distintas formas. Naturaleza viva. Habitaciones grandes, con todo lo necesario pero sin recrearse en excesos. Limpias. Baño generoso. Y un personal que se desvive por ayudarte. Una mención especial al camarero del Bufet que se ofreció a cocinar cualquier cosa ya que veía que desayunábamos poco al estar mi señora indispuesta. Respecto a la decoración general es sobria y clásica pero a la vez elegante. En seguida te das cuenta que allí se han producido hechos relevantes como la firma del primer estatut de Catalunya.
Un lugar para el descanso, la meditación y si quieres el deporte o actividades en el exterior. Dotado de piscina junto al pantano y a los pies del parador y a pocos minutos de Vic. Volveremos sin prisas para disfrutarlo.

Un entorno perfecto para desconectar unos días!

Un hotel precioso en un entorno fantastico! Las habitaciones son muy grandes, cómodas, baño muy amplios y completos con lavamanos doble y mucha luz natural.
Los jardines y piscina son muy bonitos y con el calor se agradece mucho, sobretodo si uno se va a hacer visitas durante el día. EL acceso a la piscina /jardines no es muy cómodo para personas mayores o con problemas de movilidad o si vas con carritos de niños, pero el personal es muy amable y seguro te ayudan si se precisa.
El servicio de comidas es exquisito!!! el personal es super amable y servicial, atentos, simpaticos y la comida es muy buena, con mucha calidad en los productos, en el emplatado, la preparación, etc. No suelo coger media pensión en los hoteles, pero en este caso por la ubicación del parador y por el servicio que tienen, creo que es muy muy recomendable, cada cena ha sido un festin!. El desayuno es muy correcto, nada espectacular comparado con las cenas, pero bien, es lo que se espera en un hotel de 4*.
El personal del hotel muy amable en todas las areas, incluida la recepción, cafeteria, y el personal de limpieza.
Repetiremos seguro!
