Hospedería Conventual de Alcántara

On the eastern edge of town, this comfortable and stylish modern hotel enjoys a marvellous setting in a 15th-century monastery-turned-flour factory. It offers bright, lime-green rooms bursting with colour. The restaurant serves up Extremaduran specialties such as pheasant and all manner of dishes that include wild mushrooms and the pungent creamy Torta del Casar cheese.
