Fodor's Expert Review Parador de Arties
Calle San Juan 1, 25599, Spain
Once the house of Gaspar de Portolà, the military officer who colonized California, this modern parador with friendly staff and an outdoor pool (seasonal) has views of the Pyrenees and is handy for exploring the Romanesque sights in nearby villages. Vielha is 2½ km (1½ miles) to the north, and the Baqueira ski slopes are 7 km (4 miles) away. The restaurant ladles out a mean civet de jabalí (wild boar stew).
PROS
- panoramas from cozy public areas
- quiet and personal for a parador
- free parking
CONS
- cold pool
- requires driving
- in need of renovation
