The location of the hotel is stunning with a breathtaking view of the mountains and the lake. Our bedroom was superb with a wonderful view from our balcony. Staff were all extremely helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The restaurant food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast, with a terrific choice. Wines were reasonably priced as were the drinks in the bar. A visit to the Saturday market in Vic is a must. The only negative is that a door should be added between the toilet and bathroom area. Nice little touches in the bathroom with toiletries etc. Our stay was for 2 nights and after 4 hectic days in Barcelona this was a great finish to our holiday. I would not hesitate in recommending this Parador hotel.

Wonderful place! very polite & kind staff willing to help.
The bedroom was excellent and very clean.
View from balcony is amazing.
Breakfast was very good.
It will be good to have a door between the toilet room and the bath room.
Water in swimming pool were too cold.

Outstanding location, excellent rooms, friendly and helpful staff, fine breakfasts. Swimming pool and gardens great. Would recommend the spectacular walk from the parador to the monastery which takes about an hour each way at sightseeing pace. (Moderate to easy walking on good paths)

The big disappointment for us was the food in the restaurant. This was all very elaborately and attractively presented but often seemed to lack real flavour. Strongly suggest that the chef and team concentrate more on quality of ingredients, authentic Spanish cooking and flavour, and less on fussy and presumably time consuming presentation.

I have always wanted to stay at a Parador and for my wife and me Vic-Sau was just perfect! The reputation of the Parador system was more than upheld in every way: the room and its views, the food, and the attentive staff. The ability to take the train from Vic into Barcelona was also a major plus. In addition we were interested in the fact that the Hotel supported local artists by both buying their work for the hotel, as well as offering interesting exhibitions in the lobby.

We stayed at this parador May 2011 and really enjoyed it! The views can not be beat! The dining was great and very accommodating for my husband who can only eat gluten free. The grounds and pool were beautiful. My kids wished the pool was warmer, but maybe next time we will go later in the summer. There is a lot to do nearby. We loved Vic and Rupit.

cost performance it’s not the best I had in Spain . the only good thing is the View ( unless you got the room facing south / north ) breakfast was very good , but basically the attitude of the staff is not as expected .

The staff at Vic Sau could not have been nicer – I had a fall two days before we left for Spain, and had to ice my knee several times a day. (I now know Catalan for ice, hielo). The food was excellent, great fun to try some of the local meats, the room was lovely, the scenery was outstanding, and the nearby monastery is really worth a visit. It was a wonderful place to start our visit to Spain, very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable.

What a stunning setting. The view from our room was amazing and the staff could not have been more helpful. A must for anyone that is reasonably fit, is to do the hike to the monastery. I wish we could have stayed more than one night. PS Well sign posted so it makes it easy to find.

We spent our 36th wedding anniversary at Parador de Vic-Sau and it was a lovely setting. Our room was very nice with a gorgeous view and our dinner in the restaurant was very nice. We will definitely stay at other Paradors when in Spain!!
