Hotel description
This old Benedictine monastery belongs to Paradores de Turismo de España, a chain of high quality hotels dedicated to the preservation and tasteful use of Spain's cultural monuments. The Parador Monasterio de Corias is one of the organization's newest and most impressive projects. Built in the 11th century, this monastery has been restored, modernized and furnished in a breathtaking way. With its medieval architecture and an archaeological museum in the basement, this historic 4-star hotel is a real treat for history buffs. At the same time, the spacious guest rooms offer state-of-the-art comfort. Harmoniously integrated into the venerable building is a wellness area with a small swimming pool and massage treatments. In addition, as is customary at the Paradores, delicious, authentic regional cuisine is served at every meal.
Historic Hotel: Medieval monastery brought to the present day
The Monasterio de Corias was originally completed in 1032. A museum in the basement shows hotel guests archaeological finds from the period that were unearthed during the restoration of the present hotel. The small monastery chapel is historically interesting and well worth a visit, especially the guided tours. The hotel rooms themselves still have a certain monastic aura: for example, the old monastery library has been artfully transformed into a lounge. The cloister courtyard and garden have been preserved in their original state and incorporated into the hotel's operations. The lobby, wellness area and swimming pool all feature stunning vaulted ceilings. In keeping with its surroundings, each of the 43 guest rooms is decorated with a mix of fresh handicrafts, old and new furniture, and stunning artwork on the walls.
Nature Hotel: Green hills and protected oak forest
This monastery hotel is located in a small Asturian village called Corias, with only about 200 inhabitants. The village is surrounded by the typical green hills of Cantabria. The river Narcea flows right by the monastery. For nature lovers, there's a lot to explore in the area. For example: the Bosque de Muniello, a protected area of oak forest with flora and fauna unique in Europe, still inhabited by brown bears and other creatures.
Food & Drink: Regional cuisine in stylish atmosphere
Cuisine is an essential aspect of the Parador concept: the hotel has always had an intimate relationship with its region, as well as with its historic building. At the Parador Monasterio de Corias, guests can enjoy typical Asturian specialties prepared according to old recipes at all meals, from breakfast to dinner. Culinary facilities include a pleasant breakfast room and a stylishly decorated restaurant under a mighty vaulted ceiling.
Sports & Leisure: Relax in the vaulted pool
Relaxation in a historical setting is the motto of the Parador Monasterio de Corias. One of the ways to do this is to visit the small and beautiful wellness area, with its vaulted swimming pool and massage room. The old library and the monastery garden are also wonderful places to relax.
Location: Outside of the Cangas de Narcea
The Parador is located on the outskirts of Narcea, a small village that was founded around the 11th century at the same time as the monastery, a little more than a mile north of the town of Cangas de Narcea.
