Hotel description
A castle dating back to the 10th century is the home of the 4 star hotel Parador de Hondarribia. If you are looking for a unique historic and romantic ambience for a vacation to Spain then this is exactly the right place. In addition, this impressive castle hotel in the Basque country stands out for its solid 4 star service and top class facilities.
The Parador de Hondarribia
Hondarribia, formerly Fuenterribia, is a small historic town on the French border in the Basque country, Northern Spain. Because of its well-kept old town, which is enclosed by a completely intact city wall, Hondarribia is a popular destination for travelers who want to delve into past eras whilst on their vacation. The Parador de Hondarribia is located in a well maintained castle dating back to the 10th century and is therefore the perfect city hotel in Hondarribia for guests who are interested in history. Situated directly on the main square of the town, the Plaza de Armas, this castle hotel soars above the monasteries of the old town.
Historic & romantic ambience
Large, thick walls give the castle an almost daunting image from the outside. The interior, however, surprises because it is exactly the opposite: everywhere inside you can still see the chunky walls of the castle hotel but underneath their arches and unrendered wooden beams the rooms have been filled with an extremely light and friendly atmosphere. Decorated with lances, canons, armory and other decorative objects in keeping with the style, an historic hotel has sprung up which really deserves this description.
Courtyard and roof terrace
Particularly the courtyard at the Parador de Hondarribia will impress guests in need of some relaxation. Covered with glass, the courtyard of this castle hotel is surrounded by stone walls with archways and luscious green climbing plants – a wonderful place to read a book or enjoy a cup of tea! Right behind here you will find the roof terrace. For relaxation this is equally a great choice: high up above the town, from the roof of the Parador de Hondarribia you will have a wonderful view which reaches right to the French coast.
The rooms at the 4 star hotel
The Parador de Hondarribia has 36 rooms in differing categories. From simple standard double rooms to the glorious suite you’ll find everything you need. In addition, many of the rooms at this castle hotel offer great views over the old town and/or over the sea. Others in turn overlook the beautiful courtyard. The castle hotel in the Basque country offers all the pleasantries that you should expect from a 4 star hotel: cable as well as satellite TV, telephone, mini bar, stereo and safe can be found in all the rooms.
