Pros:

עצרנו לחניית לילה בדרך לקורדובה , בעיירה עצמה אין יותר מדי מה לעשות אבל הפארדור מקסים והשאיר אצלנו רושם עז, מבנה מדהים המתוחזק היטב ,כמו לישון בתוך ארמון שהוא מוזיאון, מומלץ מאוד, לא לפספס את ההליכה על החומות למעלה מסביב למגדלים

Cons:

אהבנו הכל

We loved this property and could recommend it fully. You will not be disappointed.
Pros:

Wow! What to not like! We stayed in one of the turrets and were able to wander around the top of the castle. It was magical!

Cons:

It is perfect. Ok, the pool isn’t heated but that doesn’t seem to be a thing in Europe

Fabulous BUT big problem with rowdy teenagers at night
Pros:

Beautiful castle hotel. Fantastic location. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Easy parking outside.good pool area and good buffet breakfast. Huge room.

Cons:

Dirty air filter in bathroom and dirty air-conditioning vent in main room.

Major problem with ground floor rooms.....we had room 103......impossible to sleep as large groups of loud and rowdy teenagers outside the room window all night into the early hours. We reported to reception who know about issue and have to call police to remove the teenagers. A major big detracción. I think this may effect all the front facing ground floor rooms....you pay for a goods nights sleep and you do NOT get one. They need to sort this out.

Pros:

Geweldig fijn hotel! Goede kamer, fijn bed en ok badkamer. Zeer uitgebreid ontbijt en een heerlijk zwembad. Uistekend restaurant waar we heerlijk gegeten hebben. Parkeren kan tegenover de entree voor € 5,- per dagen je loopt zo het centrum in van het mooie stadje Zafra.

Cons:

Ben geen fan van een douche in bad.

Una de nuestras habitaciones tenía el aire acondicionado muuuuy frío y no se podía subir. Lo reportamos y vinieron a verlo. Su solución fue que nos darían 2 nórdicos los cuales nunca llegaron

100% recommended
Pros:

Everything about this hotel is lovely! Our room was massive with two big balconies, sunbeds on one and a dining table on the other. Really special building with lots of history. You can walk all the way up to the top and read about it's history and look out from the ramparts. Really comfortable beds. Spotlessly clean.
Lovely staff. Nice swimming pool.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Fijn hotel op een centrale gelegen locatie
Pros:

Prachtig historisch gebouw. Vanuit het hotel loop je binnen een paar minuten naar het centrum van het mooie stadje. Via het hotel kan je voor een vriendelijke prijs een parkeerticket kopen waarmee je in de directe omgeving van het hotel kan parkeren. De kamer was ruim en schoon.

Cons:

De airco maakt veel herrie.
