Parador de Monforte de Lemos
Neoclassical splendour in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra
The Parador de Monforte de Lemos stands in the heart of the town, within the Monastery of San Vicente do Pino and the Palace of the Condes de Lemos, which together with the medieval keep form the Monumental Complex of San Vicente do Pino.
The old rooms of the palace are now home to the common areas and salons of the Parador, while the guestrooms are organised around the majestic Neoclassical cloister of the monastery. The Parador also has a gym, jacuzzi and a beautiful outdoor swimming pool that, thanks to its location on a hill, offers amazing views over the Ribeira Sacra.
The origins of the monastery date back to the 9th c., although the building you see today was built between 1626 and 1802 in the Neoclassical Baroque style, replacing its medieval predecessor, which was falling into ruins.
The long construction process led to the complex including Gothic elements such as the interior structure, along with Renaissance features such as portal and Neoclassical elements such as the splendid cloistered area, making it a unique monument and a setting where visitors can dream of past glories.
