Parador de Trujillo

Given Trujillo's delightful overdose of hotels in historic buildings, it's no surprise that this parador (luxury state-owned hotel) occupies a former 16th-century convent. Large terracotta-tiled rooms with understated historical touches branch off two evocative orange-and-olive-tree-dotted cloisters. Breakfast is served in a restored chapel and there's a summer pool. It's in the old town's winding backstreets, 350m east of the Plaza Mayor.
