Parador Albacete
Located in the plains of La Mancha in an ideal setting for enjoying outdoor activities, the Parador in Albacete offers travellers the full range of luxuries for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The gardens and swimming pool provide an ideal location for relaxing, taking a stroll or a refreshing dip during hot summer afternoons.
This Manchegan country mansion has a beautiful entrance hall, the interior is characterised by an elegant simplicity where natural light plays an important role. Large windows and ornate woods complement the light feel of the comfortable bedrooms.
The 9 Hole Pitch & Putt Golf Course and Putting Green is open to the public. Pitch and Putt is like normal golf but with shorter distances between the holes. The distance between holes on a pitch and putt course varies between 40 m. and 120 m.
The Albacete Parador was cold within our room during November, due to the design of the building with a large expanse of outside walls.
We found the restaurant prices expensive and bought bar snacks, the range of which was limited. Breakfast was very good, though at 20 Euros it should be. The location of the parador was too far out of town and I did not want to drive back into Albacete for an evening meal, so it limited our choice to the hotel. The choice of a walk around the immediate hotel area was limited to a county road across a field. We found Albacete closed up for the season, with the museum and cahtedral closed. We stayed for two days. Overall it was a good experience though more that two days would have been too much.
We have stayed in the Albacete Parador on 27 September 2009, a beautiful ‘hacienda building’. Although situated outside town in an industrial area and near airport the location is fine, but one should ask for a room not facing the hiway road (traffic noise). Had a very nice decorated and comfortable room, especially liked the bed and bath linnen.
Superb breakfast. Diner menu with many regional dishes, a bit difficult for foreigners. Would suggest to include some more international dishes are well.
Pitch and Putt golf course in the hotel garden (very short holes, not always easy) as well as 2 tennis courts and swmming pool.
Very kind staff, also English speaking. We had a pleasant stay, thank you.
