The hotel is housed in a former monastery, the origins of which are believed to date back to the 6th and 7th centuries. It is easy to distinguish elements of the baroque and romanesque styles and the building has three incredible cloisters: one Romanesque, one Gothic and the third in Renaissance style, where you can spend a peaceful evening in a subdued atmosphere with the soft sounds of religious music as an accompaniment.

Beds
As visitors to Parador de Santo Estevo, we found the beds to be a highlight of our stay. Despite one review mentioning a small bed size, we were pleasantly surprised with the comfortable mattresses in all of the rooms. The sheets were particularly noteworthy, as they were made of the softest premium cotton. Some guests had to use support pillows due to the firmness of the regular ones provided, but overall the sleeping experience was very good. One visitor even called the bed "fijn" (Dutch for fine). Although one review mentioned having to climb stairs to reach their chosen bed, most guests found the beds to be a fantastic feature of their stay. The hotel's location and aesthetic qualities were also praised with a reviewer calling it a wonderful experience to stay in a work of art. While one guest found their room small, the bed within it still exceeded expectations. Overall, we highly recommend Parador de Santo Estevo for a comfortable and memorable stay.

Staff
The staff at Parador de Santo Estevo were praised by guests for their attentiveness and professionalism. Reviews raved about the friendly and helpful staff members from reception to the cleaning staff, spa, cafeteria and restaurant, whose attention made guests feel at home. Some reviewers noted slight exceptions, such as the occasional grumpy waiter or slow service, but these were outweighed by the excellent service provided by the majority of staff members. The location, stunning views and well-kept facilities were also commended. However, some guests were disappointed with the price and were surprised by the challenging hike recommended by the staff. Despite these minor criticisms, the majority of guests left the hotel feeling grateful for the wonderful treatment they received from the staff.

Spa
The Parador de Santo Estevo is home to a fantastic spa, perfectly sized and offering all the services you could want. The spa area itself is a little on the dark side but is a definite highlight of the hotel with many guests praising its spaciousness and amenities. However, there are some downsides to note; some guests felt that the sliding glass door to the bathroom lacked privacy, while others complained about the spa's high additional cost of € 30 per day. That being said, the reviews largely speak highly of the spa's professional staff and beautifully furnished spaces. While there are a few negative comments, these seem to be in the minority and most guests leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after their stay at this spa-focused hotel.

Parking
If you're planning a stay at the Parador de Santo Estevo, you might want to take note of the parking situation. While the garage is located outside the building and involves a bit of luggage schlepping, the nearby parking lot is convenient and easy to access. However, there have been occasional difficulties finding a space, as the hotel doesn't have its own private lot. Despite this, guests have found the parking to be a minor inconvenience in an otherwise beautiful and well-appointed hotel, complete with a picturesque view of the woods and excellent dining options. Plus with free parking available, it's hard to complain too much.
