Hospedería Convento de la Parra

Extremadura, Spain[view map]

Style: Divine retreat
Setting: Sunny Badajoz

A historic boutique hotel in Extremadura, Hospedería Convento de la Parra is a tranquil retreat with style and serenity in equal measure. The thick walls and refeshing pool provide an escape from the midday heat in the region far from the well-trodden tourist routes, while low lighting and flickering flames provide a suitable romantic atmosphere in the cool evenings.
