Parador de Plasencia

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.

Accommodation and staff were excellent. Property and furnishings magnificent.

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.

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!

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.
