Parador de Alarcon

Housed in an 8th-century fortress, the Parador de Alarcón offers a historic stay in the medieval village of Alarcón, Cuenca. This castle hotel sits on a rocky promontory encircled by the Júcar River, providing dramatic views of the surrounding countryside. The property features just 14 rooms, including junior suites and double rooms, many of which retain original stone walls and traditional wood beams. On-site dining is a highlight, with a restaurant serving regional Castilian cuisine and a bar for evening drinks. Practical amenities include a 24-hour reception, laundry services, and a business center. For those exploring the region, the hotel is a short walk from the village's four historic churches and serves as a base for hiking, fishing, or visiting the nearby town of San Clemente. Private parking and pet-friendly options make it accessible for road travelers touring the Castilla-La Mancha region.
