It is a beautiful hotel and really an awesome building. Unfortunately during our stay we have been the only guests and so the restaurant., the cafeteria and the spa were closed. That is sad, especially if you have paid a room price which included 1 hour in that private spa.
As well there are now good restaurants in the town so you basically depend on the hotel-restaurant if you don't want to drive to one of the bigger places around every evening. At the first evening they improvisated a dinner for us which was average at most, but charged a ridiculously high price for it. Because there was no chance to buy a tee or something to drink during the day in the hotel, we couldn't make to much use of the very nice terrace or the other rooms. Basically we have used this 4-star-hotel as a holiday apartment and bought our one stuff in the supermarket.

Of course it would have been much easier, if our command of the spanish language would have been better or the staff could speak english with us.

If you hate the crowds and just looking for a different place this is your option. Right here is all about the charm service from the hotel owners, they love what they are doing

The con (or pro from my point of view) is that is no so close to any major airport so you need to spend almost one hour driving from Caceres discovering the unknown Extremadura country side to reach this small boutique hotel. The pros are the incredible breakfast and rooms, the evidence that you are experiencing the real Spain (no fake English breakfast or Guinees beer here) and is in a short distance to two marvelous Portuguese cities as Marvao and Castelo da Vide. This palce is the perfect stop for a longer travel to the Algavve or Extremadura itself

Seems that they have a promotional rate for stays during the weekend
