Los jardines, el palacio, la piscina, las instalaciones...es muy distinto a otros paradores...

La piscina necesita un poco mas de mantenimiento. Sería necesario adecentar algunas fuentes y, en concreto el estanque junto a la fuente del León y la fábrica de hielo. Se puede entender que no se atienda todo debidamente por que eso es inmenso...

Nos gusto todo, el entorno, el Palacio, el personal, los jardines, el queso, el vino, la cama, el baño, las vistas desde la habitación, el desayuno muy completo, las hermosas Secuoyas es un espectáculo para la vista. La botella de agua se agradece. Todo genial.
