The Parador de Segovia is a 4-star hotel on the Valladolid road, north of the city and outside the historic centre. It has an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool and its own restaurant. It suits you if you do not mind sleeping a little away from the centre in exchange for a pool and dining room in the same building.

Good to know
The historic centre is not on the doorstep: it is about 25 minutes on foot to the Aqueduct, and the walk back is just as long. The indoor pool is not open all year. The room is available from 14:00 and must be vacated before 12:00. If you prefer to sleep inside the monumental city, compare with other hotels in Segovia.
