If you don't know, the Spanish Paradores are luxury hotels first founded in 1928 by King Alfonso the 13th. They are rehabilitated monasteries or castles; this one is a former castle. What a treat to stay in an old castle in utter comfort and style. The beautiful courtyard has a center fountain (formerly the water well, I assume), tables, chairs,... More

This Parador, like so many, is historically interesting and has a magnificent charm. We have stayed at 45 Paradors over the last 30 years and can understand the praise in these reviews. BUT visitors should be aware that in this Parador the security is poor. Cars have to be parked outside in a public square which shows immediately how many... More

We spent two nights here while visiting our daughter in Zafra. The parador itself was gorgeous, esp the courtyard. The rooms were spacious and comfy but very, very hot. We opened the two windows but still found it warm for our tastes (and we're from upstate NY). Nonetheless, no regrets. Very nice staff, access to the top of the tower,... More

This parador really makes you feel grand as it was the home of the Dukes of Feria. The central patio is stunning with its elegant marble facades. We paid the fixed price of 100 Euros and stayed in room 209 which was quiet and faced the square behind the Parador. The first room we were shown smelled strongly of smoke,(an... More

Very easy access by auto, and public parking free from 22:00 to 10:00 by the door. Nice staff, very nice standard room and a very good breakfast. It is located in a small Spanish town in Estremadura, Zafra, head of the old "Señorio de Feria" surrounded by several (6 or 7) smaller towns with medieval castles. From Lisbon to Cordoba,... More

I found the room quite large, and well furnished. It is in keeping with the parador, which is a castle several hundreds of years old. The furniture gave the correct feel, being all old wood, which went with the oak walls and shutters. Wifi was available and there is an excellent restaurant. Strongly recommended for atmosphere.

Stayed in one of their basic rooms. It was a good size, on the 3rd floor. Three windows including the bathroom, very quiet overall although could hear neighbors some. Free wifi, even got it in the room (room 311) although we could not get it in the bar which is next to the lobby! Carpets in common areas a bit... More

The Zafra Parador is an excellent choice for a stopover and quick sight-seeing. The rooms are well appointed and the food is good (though by no means exceptional). One annoyance is that the city tends to be rather noisy, even in winter time. Also, note that wifi may not be available in most rooms because of the thick stone walls!

We have just stopped here for one night going from central Extremadura to Andalucia. This parador is worth a visit. Very centrally located, easy access with a car. Beautiful room, facing the pool, two balconies, just a bit noisy if you prefer to open the windows than use the A/C. This parador has a lovely open-air patio (restaurant or bar),... More

The room was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. There is a lovely courtyard with a bar and restaurant. The location is perfect with a three minute walk to the Plaza and shops. I liked everything about this hotel and I certainly would return if I am in this part of the world again. Very charming indeed.
