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.

After Isabel and her husband Ferdinand died, they were buried in the monastery's grounds, and a chapel was erected in their memory. Through the ages, the building has been used as barracks, home for the elderly, school, and so on, until it was made into a parador in 1944.
