Monasterio de Rocamador

Situated in the heart of the meadows of Extremadura, this astonishing 16th century Monastery rises up with great majesty. Originally the residence of San Pedro de Alcantara, it was later converted into an infirmary for the monks of the Franciscan province and a centre of philosophical studies. The structure resembles a small village and has been sensitively restored using traditional methods. You will be instantly struck by the tranquillity of the monastery, enhanced at night when it is delicately lit. It has large, serene spaces, natural rocks in the guest rooms and natural essences to perfume the warm baths, all combined to make this a unique place. Each room is attractively furnished with fabrics, furniture, terra-cotta and stone. The restaurant, situated in the old chapel, serves excellent cuisine. The hotel is located 40 km. from Badajoz and has twenty-eight double rooms.
