Wonderful place with amazing service!

Lovely location - an absolutely genuine castle with a renaissance interior. Rooms are comfortable, restaurant is very good. Staff are helpful and friendly. Very well situated to explore all of Zafra old town within a 5-minute walking radius. Also one of the only places in the old town to park easily - but you do need a parking ticket from the Paradores Hotel (which may only be available to residents). Breakfast was overpriced, but there are numerous nearby cafes where you can get a coffee and croissant for less than €3.

Yet another historic site is a hotel, really what everyone needs, another average chain hotel

Great place, medieval fortress preserved by the duke of Feria as Renaissance palace, well worth a visit. Either as a guest or a visitor, you can’t miss this place.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
