Country house draped
with creepers
Villafranca del Bierzo is
the illustrious centre of a very lovely region and also a stop on St James'
Way. The Hotel’s architecture imitates the lines and shapes of nearby Galicia.
The landscape of the Sierra
de Ancares to the North complements the beauty of the Parador’s garden.
Its interior is decorated with Castilian style furniture and wrought iron
lamps. |

|
| The wooden floors lend elegance
and comfort to the bedrooms and other rooms of the hotel. The lounge, one
of the most attractive spaces in the Parador, is welcoming and comfortable.
