Historic building with beautiful courtyard. Unfortunately we had ground floor bedrooms opposite a very busy bar/nightclub. Admittedly it was a Saturday night before Christmas however the revelers used the castle wall outside our bedroom window as a urinal. This lessened the vibe! Breakfast was good. The rooms were clean but could use an update. The town has nice energy.

Beautiful place

The inner courtyard is lovely. We had popped in for a drink when previously in Zafra so this time decided to stay. The beds were very comfortable and everywhere was clean. The breakfast was very good and we stayed for dinner, mostly due to the lovely surroundings. The service was very good and the food was fine though not outstanding. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. My only complaint relates to the water. We were on the third floor and we had to waste a considerable amount of water before we could get a hot shower. This is very bad in a region with severe water shortages.

We've stayed at this Parador 4 times now but have never been welcomed back by check in staff. Also the room this time was small and a bit shabby. Still I like the old elegance of the place its just a shame the staff don't act as if they are glad to see returning guests.

Very cool castle stay!

Staying in a castle was quite impressive! Our room was clean and modern and very comfortable, but still retained all the character of the castle. We had the surprise perk of being able to explore the castle walls included in our stay - how incredible! The pool is also nice - very refreshing for the summer! But it does get shady early… Beautiful courtyard to have breakfast, but breakfast was a bit expensive for what is offered.

This is the 4th Parador on the 1 month trip to Spain, they are expensive and overpriced. 10 years ago when we first started to stay in them they were excellent, they are now looking shabby and need some serious upgrading.

The parador of Zafra was an impressive castle with a beautifully maintained air of regal comfort. Everything was clean, everyone masked, and the one meal we had delicious. Excellent location and comfortable bed and room.

Hotel in a castle!

The Parador is a castle from 1437 -- it was amazing to stay here, such a unique experience! Also very cool that guests are allowed access to the roof and the tower portion of the castle. The rooms themselves were clean and nice enough, nothing very fancy but the experience was definitely worth it.
