We are much more than just a hotel. Indeed, we are a 12th century Cistercian monastery refurbished as a hotel by the Xunta, the government of Galicia. Our walls are steeped in history. In its origins it was the home of Cistercian monks, later of Benedictine friars and, nowadays, it throws open its doors so that you can revel in the peace and quiet of its cloisters, its cells and the marvellous surroundings, in the heart of the Ribeiro country, in the province of Orense. Apart from being hotel accommodation, the Eurostars Monumento Monasterio de San Clodio Hotel & Spa is an exceptionally good choice for holding banquets and corporate events.
The monastery provides five reception rooms distributed over its two cloisters (Cova Sacra, Abad, Cisterciense, Benedictino and Medieval), all supplied with excellent acoustic qualities and the best technical equipment. The surroundings will undoubtedly amaze the guests. Our reception rooms are also ideal for celebrating weddings, communions or christening ceremonies.
In our restaurant you can relish in a variety of proposals, from an abundant dinner befitting a bishop, to frugal monk's breakfast. We are specialists in typical Galician dishes, from lobster rice, braised veal or spring lamb. We also supply a great variety of wines from Galicia and the rest of Spain. The Lobby Bar is open 24 hours.
