This hotel/resort is well located in the Vera valley on the south-western slopes of Gredos mountains. The area is very rich in cultural & historical sites - Emperor Charles V final retreat palace, routes and villages related to that era. Natural sites abound, from the spectacular 'cherry blossom' in the adjacent Jerte Valley -yet to bloom- and the many area mountain trails, gorges and natural pools as recreational activities. The hotel sits on beautifully lansdcaped grounds facing a stream with roman bridge, ideal for outdoor events. Hotel rooms are reasonably furnished and comfortable with nice views. Currently under new management, improvements will hopefully bring full wifi & phone service..also better signage to get there! Very attentive reception service.

The hotel is difficult to find. Look out for the logo 'Hri'. Locate the smallish Carrefour (green) in the main road nearly opposite the parador and turn down the side of it towards the river. Don't let the access through the modern urban environment put you off, the hotel has a wonderful position overlooking the valley with its wild bathing river beach, crossed by a Roman bridge and the mountains opposite. The hotel's own ample swimming pool is surrounded by a large lawn/garden. There is plenty of parking, and the locals (including priests and police) drop in. The young chef produced a gazpacho de cerezas to die for. The staff were unfailingly lovely and cope well with mangled Spanish, some speak English. The Hri has a very relaxed ambience without being sloppy. It was a happy stay for us.

This is a very reasonable and well appointed hotel with an excellent swimming pool. The room was spacious. And clean with an excellent shower. We had dinner in the 1st night which was good in particular excellent grilled meat and I had a very good gazpacho as a starter. There were 2 tables of local families eating which is always a good sign. The next night the restaurant was closed as we were the only guests and we couldn't find anywhere else in town apart from the parador so we had a picnic in our bedroom the staff were very friendly and helpful but spoke no english
