Our stay at the Hotel Parador Vielha was a 5 Star experience all around. Gayle and I loved the…read moreRoom, the Service, the Lower Lounge, the Views, and Dinner at the Restaurant. Our only quibbles are that the Spa is overpriced (except for maybe the package massage/spa deal for couples) and there's a bit of traffic noise from the road leading up the hill to the Tunnel. Our big regret is not being able to stay here longer and take advantage of all the hiking opportunities. As such, we settled for a pleasant stroll to the nearby Village of Casau and back. The Hotel Vielha is a modern granite Parador, with a semicircular salon with huge windows and spectacular views over the Maladeta peaks of the Val d'Aran. Rooms are furnished with traditional carved-wood furniture, comfortable beds, the right amenities, and killer views of Vielha and the surrounding countryside). This was the stunning scenic Mountain Ying to our later Parador de Aiguablava Costa Brava Yang. In hindsight, we should have skipped our next night's stay in Andorra and hung our here for another day. Then there was the Restaurant, which was easily our best Dinner during our Spain Vacation. We feasted on all local Cuisine including: - A Vermouth-based Aperitif - A full bottle of an excellent Spanish Red. - Aranaise Style Soup - Catalan Style Cannelloni with Mushrooms Bechamel and Cream - Sirloin Iberian Pork with Cheese Style Sauce - Grilled Duck Magret with Bittersweet Style Sauce And for Dessert: Crema Catalana - Orange dessert Chocolate Tarte Cafe Solo for me and Con Leche for Gayle And like me, aren't you hungry right now?

They were happy to make a dinner reservation for me. My room was on the ground floor, which was great for access. And the porch was a nice place to sit. But, that door to the porch is the only fresh air source. I left my door ajar as I'm not paranoid and wasn't worried about animals wondering in. Others may have different thoughts and may wish a room on the first or second floor instead, where the windows open. St Lary village is about 5 minute walk and Vignsc is about 7. The hotel is very bike friendly and has a secured locked space to store them.

The rooms will make you feel like you're staying in the middle of the mountains, in a ski chalet. You'll have views on Baqueira's gorgeous mountains, ski slopes and the big Christmas tree located in the center of the main street. The rooms are great, traditional, with wooden floors and angled ceilings. You'll find small Samsung flat screens, extra blankets, equipped bathrooms and a vintage look. Wifi is free and works mostly in the lower floor. Sonia, the owner of the hotel, is the nicest woman you'll ever meet. A local, always smiling, you know she's enjoying her work and hosting people from around the world. Sonia and her husband also manage the hotel's restaurant where they prepare all the food: from the morning croissants to the evening's pintxos and local soups! We tasted so many dishes including the red peppers stuffed pintxos, salmon sandwiches, calamar pintxos, local soup, ham and cheese plates, crema Catalan and Ribera wine... everything was really tasty. Sonia always checked on us to make sure we were having a good time even though she's by herself working the room. I enjoyed staying in Salardú, because of the overall experience at the hotel but also because the town is beautiful, with its tiny streets made of old pavements and the beautiful 13th century church. There is a small supermarket right across the street from the hotel and a parking lot, for easy parking. Stay at Hotel Era Cuma if you're looking for a charming hotel, not a modern one with the latest furniture. I love authentic experiences which are typical of the places we stay in so I can't recommend this place enough!

Gayle and I were heading out the next morning (towards Andorra) and decided to stop in Arties to see what we missed. Arties is a cute Village that probably doubles as a ski town during the Winter season. We were here in the fall and most things were quiet, including the well-regarded Casa Irene. Also interesting is the Santa Maria de Arties. For skiers, the Baqueira Beret station is four and a half miles away. The Parador Arties (AKA Hotel Don Gaspar de Portola). The property also includes the House of the namesake discoverer of the State of California. The architecture is consistent with that of the Village. The design has a steeply sloping roof so that a heavy weight of snow cannot accumulate. This results in the bedrooms having 'dormer' windows looking out onto the roof. The traditional mountain design is continued in the wooden beams featured in the bedrooms. The 2-level lounge area was comfortable and spacious and it was fun to walk the property and speculate how we would have spent our time here. In hindsight, I think Gayle and I made the right Parador choice during our too-brief stay in the Val d'Aran. However, we're also sure that we would have also had a wonderful time here at the Parador Arties. And if you're lucky enough to come here, you too will have an equally rich choice.
