Parador Chinchon

Founded by the Lords of Chinchon in the 17th century, this former Augustinian convent houses monumental character set amongst that of Chinchon old town, with its emblematic Plaza Mayor main square. Parador of ChinchonCypress trees, roses and wild privets in the garden give a beautiful appearance, finished by the marvellous cloister and softened by the blue water in the pool.

    We have stayed at Chinchon at least 4 times and like it very much. The village square is terrific and has some excellent little restaurants around it. The parador itself has good rooms and a wonderful garden and pool. Very atmospheric. Highly recommended.

    Chinchon is a beautiful city and we were happy we chose to spend time there. THe Paradore, however, was a disappointment because of the indifferent service. There was a wedding dinner going on when we arrived. This evidently resulted in poor, at times rude, service that day and the next. We walked in the gardens (not part of the celebration because of the time of the year) and were told the area was closed and to leave. No one at the desk would help us check in for our flight ( we went to another hotel where they were very helpful even though we were not staying there). The final negative was that the cigarette smoke in the hall permeated our otherwise very nice room. All in all, this was the least pleasant stay we have had at a paradore during 2 trips to Spain. The building and grounds are lovely…

    We enjoyed our stay at the parador Chinchon. The room was comfortable and the en suite was clean and well appointed. The view from the room was rather dull - across to office building - but the view of the roofs across the town was good and so also was the view of the horses being prepared for the bullfight/fiesta.

    The restaurant was rather disappointing and we were not persuaded to eat there on our second night. Not at all the quality expected for the establishment or the prices.

    Nonetheless we had a pleasant stay.

    We stayed with two couples the 3rd of october at Chinchon Parador.
    We were with you after a 4 days sightseeing in Madrid. Afterwards we were in 3 other paradores in Toledo, Avilla,Segovia. But we all were very impressed by the Chinchon Parador. The most beautiful and interesting we visited. The rooms were very convenient. The interior of the parador was beautiful decorated. The illumination in the corridors
    was fascinating. We had a very nice dinner in the evening. The hospitality was what you could expect of a parador.
    The only thing we didn’t like was, that we had to leave the following day to the Toledo Parador. But we will come back some day.

    We stayed at Chinchon for the 3rd year running on August 17th. As always the staff were wonderful. We enjoy our stay there on the way to Santander to return to England.
    The dining was a most enjoyable experience. We find directions a little difficult but now we know our way there we will be returning again in2010

    We had a wonderful stay recently at the Chinchon Parador .The staff were friendly, helpful ,and courtious . The building and its grounds were beautiful and the outdoor dining was spectacular , a classical music duet playing on a warm ,balmy night ,with good sevice and great food was a memorable experiance .
    We owe thanks to the room maid and desk staff for their swift and efficient recovery of my wifes dressing gown ,left behind the bathroom door and returned to us just as we were driving out of the courtyard.
    Our only complaint was the poor directions to the parador as contrasted with the excellent directions to Madrid airport given by the desk staff .

    A wonderful place to stay - we wished we could have stayed longer (we will next time!). The Parador of Chinchon lived up to the recommendation we had been given by a friend in every way. Everything was just perfect. Thank you.

    Absolutely lovely and comfortable! Friendly helpful staff, luxurious bathrooms, beautiful grounds, spacious rooms, delicious bountiful breakfast buffet all within a charming town. Wireless was difficult to access. Conflicting driving directions were given to reach the Parador but we were given straightforward directions to reach Madrid from the Parador. I highly recommend!
