Parador De Fuente Dé

“Magnificent scenery!”

One of the relatively modern Paradores, this place is situated right in the heart of The Picos de Europa. The surrounding countryside & views are absolutely magnificent!

“A scenic location in the mountains.”

Paradors are generally of a very high standard and Fuente Dé is no exception. Very good service and food and a room with a view. Plenty of parking. Reasonable rates.

Paradors are generally of a very high standard and Fuente Dé is no exception. Very good service and food and a room with a view. Plenty of parking. Reasonable rates. Despite it being a very busy hotel the hotel the staff were very cheerful and welcoming. It's a very scenic location well worth the drive to get there. It seems very popular with British and American tourists as well as Spanish. It is a bit dated and the rooms are a bit tired but nothing that was too troubling to us. The only comment I would make for improvement is that better information and maps of the area should be provided. The map we got at reception was at too small a scale to be of any use so we had to wander around a bit to find a walking track. There is a cable car across the road that goes high into the mountains for those with a head for heights. That wasn't me though. Overall a great place to stay and we would love to go back sometime.

“Great location and amenities - Needs a hot tub”

Very warm welcome. We were even taken to our room and shown the functions inside. The room was lovely and warm, with a small, contained terrace, with a table and chairs, as well as some opening windows and a view of the mountains. Bathroom, whilst a bit dated, was impeccably clean, spacious and b… lisää

Very warm welcome. We were even taken to our room and shown the functions inside. The room was lovely and warm, with a small, contained terrace, with a table and chairs, as well as some opening windows and a view of the mountains. Bathroom, whilst a bit dated, was impeccably clean, spacious and bright - very inviting. I've reviewed the restaurant separately. Breakfast was lovely with good supply of cold buffet items and hot to order - omelette and eggs etc. The staff were all very friendly and clearly proud to be working at the hotel. Location to the cable car is just a one minute walk. Overall, a very enjoyable stay. **Additional point** I must add a final comment, although hard to describe how this hotel has a foot in the past, with traditional 1970s decor and old fashioned methods, such as filling out cards by hand, mixed with modern ways, webcam of the summit, digitalised room cleaning trackers. It has the feel of the Shining, and yet, with this quirkiness, it has a unique charm. The average age of the clientel is probably in the 60s, and whilst thats fine, it needs an upgrade to it's amenities. Putting a hot tub at the back, under the foot of the mountains, would be an absolute boon. Replace some of the empty living rooms into a sauna or steam room, would be amazing, particularly in winter.

“Good location, good food, poor service.”

A parador set in a fantastic location in the Picos mountain rage. The rooms are large and comfortable and the cuisine is excellent but the service was below par.

A parador set in a fantastic location in the Picos mountain rage. The rooms are large and comfortable and the cuisine is excellent but the service was below par. Our room was not ready for occupation, even although we arrive after 4.00 p.m. and the only time that we were allowed to have breakfast was 8,00 a.m. This was not, in itself a problem but one does like to have a choice. The service i the bar/cafeteria was somewhat slow.
