Amazing value for this property! If you like spending time up in the mountains and enjoy time in small villages, this is the place for you. We were extremely pleasantly surprised by the hotel and could not believe this was not listed as a 5 star. Breakfast was delicious as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Fab few days away
Totally loved our stay here, our room overlooked the mountain which was peaceful until the sheep came with their bells on but it added to the character of the hotel. The room was lovely and the bed was so comfy. Would definately return and make sure you take a ride on the cable car

Wonderful location. The cable car ride is a must. If you like walking, take the opportunity to do so at the top, various options.

The location is spectacular, room is huge with a beautiful view. Unfortunately the funicular was not working due to some technical issues!! big disappointment. We did half board. The dinner was HORRIBLE-almost inedible with poor options. Breakfast was good, however.

Wonderful building, lovely food, friendly staff. No kettle in the room, which I like for an evening chamomile tea, but the rest makes up for it. Old fashioned in a good way.

Incredibly dramatic setting. Beautiful wood panelled bedrooms and several elegant and comfortable guest sitting rooms I would have liked a kettle in the room. The buffet breakfast was apparently excellent, according to our friends who had it We had a lovely, fairly pricey evening meal.

Beautiful Parador in the mountains
Very nice Parador in the mountains. We got room with balcony and it was beautiful, large room and bathroom, comfortable bed, great service at restaurant and breakfast room. The girls at the reception also very nice and attentive. Great place in general, we had a wonderful time.

Excellent in every way!
The hotel is wonderful in every way. The views outside my window were alone worth the visit! It is truly a breathtaking place. But the hotel itself is wonderful: clean, very well appointed, with large rooms and bathrooms, and comfortable beds. It is elegant but not over the top. The staff provides great service. The menu was also excellent, even if the breakfast choices were not extraordinary. I highly recommend it. It is a long drive to get to this hotel, but the views are astonishing, making the drive a beautiful adventure. If you can come on a motorcycle, even better! The roads are just perfect for riding in spring, summer or early fall.
The view from my room!

Lovely setting bizarre service
Lovely rooms, fabulous setting but service mixed. Dinner expensive for what it was and bizarre system of service where all bookings ar for 8.30 pm and so half the room (it’s big) sitting waiting to order while the rest already have their food. Breakfast at 19 euros is very expensive but not really other options. Again, service slow although staff friendly.

Perfect location to visit the National Park. The cable car is right across the street. Nice breakfast and good Covid protocols. Staff was very friendly. The hotel has an antique flare to it and would use new carpet and re-grout on the bathroom tiles. It’s kept clean.

Amazing views
Very comfortable old-fashioned hotel. The location is spectacular if difficult to access without your own transport. There’s a website for communicating with the staff, booking for breakfast etc but this whilst a good idea doesn’t work that well in practice (for instance, it gives you the option of room service and a room service menu when this service is not available in this location). The food in the restaurant was not very exciting.

Spectacular Setting
Parador Fuente De was quite remote but the setting of this parador was stupendous as peaks of the Picos de Europa towered over the bowl that the parador sat in. We had a very nice room and view, thought our our late lunch was quite good and the breakfast spread was terrific (better than a number of other paradores that we have stayed at). We came here mostly for hiking and it was quite an adventure to take the cable car to the top and hike back to the parador.

Hotel in the mountains
A purpose-built Parador (i.e., not a restoration or renovation) sitting in a privileged position at the foot of the Picos de Europa mountains. Great scenery. Entirely comfortable 3-star property. Shares the end of a good road from tourist town of Potes with one other hotel and the funicular to the mountain top behind the hotel. Good buffet breakfast. Restaurant keeps late Spanish hours for dinner, and no good options for eating earlier (very limited "snacks" at their cafeteria).

Unique character in dramatic natural setting. Excellent room with balcony and views. Due to bus arrival, restaurant fully booked and only alternative offered was the bar. We found a hotel with restaurant right across the road- it would be nicer if that advice was offered or an arrangement made with the hotel, given the Parador restaurant was fully booked.

We loved the accessibility to a multitude of nature and hiking trails. What we did not like was the lack of language skills by the staff given the international clientele the hotel services. Room decor and beds need to be refreshed. Lastly, because many of the guests are coming to take enjoy the world class hiking, having a drying room and area to wash off hiking boots would have been functional and most appreciated.

The hotel was easy to find with a huge car park. We liked the location , at the foot of the mountains and near to the Fuente De cable car. The staff were mostly helpful and our room was very clean with good facilities, consistent with other Paradors. We dined in the hotel both nights we stayed there. The food was good but expensive. Breakfasts were excellent even by the usual excellent Parador standards, with loads of choice and good quality.

Superb views.
The hotel staff was super friendly, the location superb for the Funicular to Picos de Europa (next door). Hotel kitchen was not in line with other Paradores, food was limited and bland and there were no more choices nearby. Squeaky floors were madness but the view took most of the pain out of it! Superb.

An architectural disaster
It is criminal that this hotel, nestled close to the spectacular Picos de Europa, was designed with all its public spaces (terrace etc.) facing in the opposite direction.
