Fodor's Expert Review Parador de Plasencia

In a 15th-century Gothic convent, this parador truly feels medieval with majestic and somber common areas and spacious guest rooms decorated with monastic motifs and heavy wood furniture. But there are plenty of modern comforts such as well-appointed bathrooms, room service, and on-site parking. The airy restaurant—housed in the former convent refectory—is almost intimidating in its architectural magnificence.
