Palatial luxury in Granada at the 5* Palace of the Ducks. This beautifully restored and converted classic 19th century palace is catalogued as a Cultural Heritage site.
The hotel offers 42 exquisite rooms, select cuisine in the Senzone restaurant and a Bodyna Spa.
The Presidential Suite has original mosaic floor and artistic paintings on the ceiling and superb view of the garden and city from its exclusive balcony.
And of course all those wanted luxuries plus ADSL connection.

Tripadvisor named the 4* Parador Santa Catalina in Jaen one of the top ten castle stays in the world. I have to agree, as my nearest Parador and one of my favourite views and coffee haunts, under a 20 metre high vaulted ceiling, I may be baised. I might even see you there.
Who wouldn’t fancy knights in armour, two-inch thick doors and windows plus dining in medieval style. This hotel really does have one of the best Parador views in Spain. While some say the standards of the Paradors are slipping as the staff have jobs for life, you cannot fault the ambience and decor of this castle in the air, Jaen Parador.
