Cute, well appointed rooms. Immaculate, two twin beds which worked for us. Perched on a hill there are lively views. Pool is good size and heated (or not) to "refreshing"It is however down quite a few steps. Plentiful buffet style breakfast. All the employees seem happy and helpful read more

My first parador, and it won't be the last. A striking setting atop a hill that commands a 100 km view on clear days. A castle from the 1300s. Rooms are spacious and feature a full shower/tub along with a toilet and a bidet. My room was on the third floor and faced south. The thick walls make the rooms very quiet. Service is impeccable and very friendly. I was the only English speaking person I saw. Few Americans know about paradors from what my friends tell me. It's a treat to have a glass of wine before dinner and enjoy the beautiful spaces. I ate all my breakfasts here as other options offsite are a 10-15 minute walk. Warning: large cars will not fit through the very tight gate you have to navigate in order to park (free) on the property. My Citroen small suv barely fit :). There is free public parking 200 meters away if you're driving a van read more

Beautiful hotel and restaurant on the hill of Carmona, built into the old fort. Incredible view of Andalusia from the bar/restaurant area, and I was lucky to have gotten a window-side view to enjoy the meal. They're mindful of dietary restrictions and gluten free bread was available (still in package after its been defrosted and baked), perfect with the quail appetizer which turned out to be a pate, and the shrimp w/rice main I got was delicious - with a very generous portion size of a full bowl, and then some more you could scoop in from the pot. I love my more porridge-like rice dishes, so this was perfect and a much needed comfort dish. I finished everything happily and then proceeded to skip dinner. Service was excellent, and this place would be a great reason to come back and visit carmona again. read more

Beautiful setting. Best restaurant in Carmona. Food and service 5 star. Have a cocktail on the deck before dinner. I would recommend the prawns read more

Service is a bit slow. It seems like they may be understaffed or just don't care enough. They offer you a selection of generously portioned bread with olive oil prior to your meal. They also give a free appetizer (ours was crackers with fois gras pate and strawberry jam). For lunch I had the eggplant stuffed couscous, my mother had the fried cod, and my father had the tomato salad with roasted chicken. All the dishes were great and came out in a timely manner. We also got desserts. They were not on the menu but were in a showcase before you enter the restaurant. Both were average cakes. read more

What's not to like here? Perched atop a hill in the quaint little village of Carmona sits the most beautiful Parador of our stay in Spain. Views abound. The Moorish inspired architecture was gorgeous. The pool area was spectacular. Service here was very good. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Dinners here were hit and miss, but there are other options in town. read more
