We stayed at the Convento Le La Luz in July of 2008. We had two rooms (for family of five - 2 adults/three teenage boys). The property is an old converted monastary. It has been beautifully restored. The rooms were large and well appointed. The restaurant was excellend. The staff was very friendly. The hotel has a great ambience with its thick walls, interesting architecture and old features like wells, etc.

Just spent a few days over Easter at the Convento de la Luz. It is a great base to see the area, as well as a nice place to relax. Its locations, helps you feel that you are away from it all.

We had a very large, comfortable room. It had everything that you would want. The staff was very helpful and I would highly recommend the restaurant. The food is great. Breakfast is a buffet of breads, yogurts, local hams and cheeses as well as fruit. During our stay, it was served in the old chapel, which also serves as a function hall for event, which was on the cold side.

I am sure it is even nicer during the summer, when the pool is open. Which would also give one the option of sitting outside for breakfast.

The Covento offers many of the comforts that ar eon par with more expensive hotels.

We stayed 2 nights at the Convento de la Luz as a base to see Caceres on one side(20km) and then a day in Portugal (Monsanto--1.25 hours away) in the other direction. The hotel is a 17th century convent that has been luxuriously converted to Parador level. It is on the out-skirts of the village of Brozas so you need a car to get there. The setting is in the country with expansive views, and the building is wonderfully restored. Both the room and the public areas were excellent. We actually liked this place better than the Parador at Oropesa which we stayed at next.

A quite satisfactory breakfast was included("heavy continental", meaning cheeses and cold meats included) and we ate at its restaurant one evening which was very good--- worth the $60 tab for 2 with a moderate wine.

We paid under 60 euros/night with breakfast, and think it was a terrific bargain. We learned of the hotel through the euroresidentes.com link for Caceres.
