"We had a very short but very pleasant stay in this hotel. It sits right on the main square of Zafra so it's an easy walk to everything. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and comfortable. It was very nice to have a basic breakfast included. Our bed was comfortable, the room was quiet. It is certainly not a fancy hotel but I would not hesitate to stay here again."

"We have nothing but praise for this hotel! The beds were incredibly comfy, the room was way more spacious than it looked in the picture, and it is super clean! The ‘make your own breakfast’ is really smart - no need to hurry in the mornings :) It’s family run, and they are so nice and helpful. Loved them! The village is cute too, and everyone is really nice and friendly. Lovely Zafra is just a 15 minute drive away. We traveled as a family of three (child aged 8), but it is definitely best...
