Cheap hotels in Zorita

Our stay in El Alzahar was simply fantastic. It is a former winery wonderfully nestled in the rolling hills of the Extremadura steppe and dehesa. The whole building is lovingly renovated and very stylishly furnished, you could say Scandinavian design meets Spanish tradition. Our huge bed was not too soft and not too hard and there were even custom-made blackout blinds for all the windows, for those who like it dark at night and in the morning. Breakfast could be taken very flexibly, from half past seven until eleven the kitchen was manned and if you popped in, there was a typical Spanish continental meal with homemade delicacies, fresh orange juice and cake for dessert. Because the weather was great, we could already sit outside and enjoy the view of the pool, flowering gardens and also the chickens. But even if it should be cold, the dining room is a very cosy space, complete with a stove. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful - and for us, as birdwatchers, additionally the ideal place. In the morning, we were woken up by the gentle hoophoop of the hoopoe, swallows were nesting on the façade and in the adjacent, huge "garden" with dehesa, small pond and flowering meadows, Azure-winged magpies, White storks, Woodshat shrikes and almost everything the Extremadura has to offer in terms of songbirds were bustling about. The pool has also been simply wonderful in the warm afternoons - just the right temperature in a very well-kept garden area. Dinner can also be arranged in the morning and was one of the best we have ever eaten - with products and typical dishes of the country. Laura and her colleagues are accommodating and cordial without being intrusive. Cold drinks can also be bought anytime. I can only recommend this finca and will definitely book there if we should travel to Extremadura again.

We arrived quite late, but the staff were polite and efficient. The room was clean, and everything was in good working order. I also liked the building where the hotel is located; it reminded me of colonial-style architecture.

We were walking the Camino to Guadalupe and arrived on a local holiday. On our arrival the proprietor asked if we needed food as the local supermarket was closed for the holiday, he phoned a couple of the kocal restaurants to check if they were open then took us in his car so we could get lunch before they closed. It may be a 2 star hotel but we certainly got 4 atar service.

Have a fully equipped flat with conveniences for cooking. The terrace. The well-stocked coffee machine. Communication with the owners.

Atmosphere was that of a Parador. Very clean rooms and facilities. Great guy on reception - very helpful
