Parador de Plasencia
Hva gjestene sier
This is a Parador on a monumental scale with two exceptionally grand staircases, a Gothic chapel, a substantial gallery round a courtyard and beautifully panelled ceilings (some original, some restored). As Paradors go, the room was smaller than the average one but it was extremely comfortable and had a mini-sala. Reception was top class and very helpful.

It’s a great place to stay in Plasencia. The building is big draw and the meals - breakfast and dinner - were generous and delicious. It was an elegant room but not elegantly served - more like a home style meal with giant portions and amateur plating. Still, the taste is what matters. A delicious Retinta (breed of cow native to Estramaduro) steak on a bed of wonderful mushrooms was perfect. A rice appetizer had black trumpet mushrooms! Our bottle of rioja reserva 2018 was $30.00. The rooms are enormous and beds were very comfortable. It’s an amazing value in the most central spot. Parking was very convenient, if perhaps difficult for a big vehicle. I was surprised the hotel did not offer valet given the complexity of a narrow parking elevator. In Portugal and in Spain, often bread, olives and plates of ham or cheese can be on the table or offered early, and these are rarely gratis. Unlike in the USA, it is fine to request the dishes be removed. Just be advised. The olive and tomato bread was good so it may be worth the 3.00 per person to travelers.

A beautiful historic building with the original features preserved. Wonderful decorative touches. We enjoyed the spacious room, comfortable beds and standard of cleanliness was very good. We enjoyed a lovely meal in the impressive dining room. The female staff were very welcoming. We succeeded in parking a Citroën C5 aircross SUV but only just. We used the car lift down to the hotel car park but it was tight .

It was the most beautiful location with outstanding and wonderful service. I ate in the square so cannot comment on the food but the bar service was very good and the rooms outstanding. I cannot thank the reception staff enough for their exemplary service and the great sadness was not meeting Raquel with whom I had communicated by email and who was an Angel with the care she took to make my reservation and stay world class. Also the perfect stop half way down through Spain on anyone’s travels to the south. Well worth the effort of going off piste and ignore the average surrounds of Plasencia the Parador and all that surrounds it is in the old quarter and is stunning.

A beautifully restored historic property that has resulted in a place that exudes comfort, warmth and ambience in the common areas and in our room. We had dinner in what was a sensitively styled dining space. The food and service were exceptional. A buffet breakfast with good variety was provided with choices for hot food prepared on an individual basis. A wonderful choice for a luxury experience.

The building is spectacular!! Much bigger than on first impression and full of atmosphere. Large room with comfy beds, good comfortable seating, balcony and nice views. Friendly staff. Nice pool. The garage parking was 'interesting' but we got used to it.

Absolutely stunning property. Was truely like staying in in a Royal Palace! Such a beautiful building with period furnishings. Staff were very busy but remained calm and helpful at all times Even our lead in room type had a separate sitting room with comfy chairs. It was huge. If you are looking at reviews and wondering if it's worth the price, stop looking and book it!

Beautiful and exceptionally clean. Very historic and grand. Car parking was tight getting on the car elevator, a unique experience. It is best to have a small vehicle in Europe.

The signage for the car park useless, the building beautiful. Room exquisite with a little balcony overlooking the pool and spying the storks on 5he chimneys. As for facilities! We had driven for 9 hours from France and were starving but needed to get changed first and were told the cafe bar was open for food until 4pm. At 3.45 we tried to order but no chance. The next food service was 8.30pm. We tried to eat in the town but that was 9pm. We went to bed starving. Breakfast next morning was just ok. Dried up pastries and sweet bread for toast.
