We stayed for three nights in July 2011 as a family of four.

We had two double rooms with a joining small living room, all of which were clean. Unfortunately particularly the living room smelt rather musty, not easy to avoid in winter in this climate where buildings tend not to have central heating, but still a little offputting. Bathrooms were fine, but the mattresses had a plastic covering and were not too comfortable, so we didn't sleep all that well. Each room had a fridge, but these didn't work (had the plugs cut off).

The location is lovely with a really nice view across the low rolling hills towards Trujillo, and the swimming pool is also nice (if a little rustic!).

Breakfast is simple as described in other reviews, but that is usual for this part of Spain and was fine for us. The homemade jams were nice but indeed overall you shouldn't expect breakfast to be a highlight!

All in all OK, but if visiting the area again we would probably try somewhere else.

I booked this because of Tripadvisor reviews but would choose the Parador (although 40euros a night dearer) or NH if I were to return. Trujillo and surrounding areas are lovely and we visited Merida, Guadeloupe and the national park from here.
Our room (the most expensive at 90 euros) was pleasant, but very dark, with a magnificent view and, like the rest of the hotel, really needed serious updating as it was circa 1970 style. The room was however immaculately clean as was the pool and in the room the minibar was empty and we were told to use it as our fridge which was useful. The TV did not work. Wifi signal was really iffy and difficult and could only be received in the region of the owners office.
We found all the other guests to be really delightful, mostly non smoking, well educated Brits who were keen birdwatchers. It would have been nice to socialise in the evenings after dinner but there wasnt anywhere for guests to sit and chat as the guests sitting room was also the family music/tv room. It wasnt somewhere to relax freely and the pool only had 8 plastic seats around it which isnt enough for a hotel with 8 rooms and the few ricketty bamboo seats on the verandah were on their last legs. The breakfast and evening meal were really beyond description and with no choice and expensive at 24 euros a head. We left a day early - I had lost 10lb in 5 days and was desperate to get back to Madrid for some decent food.

We had previously stayed at the nearby Finca Santa Marta but recent ambivalent reviews of it made us try somewhere else this time . Vina Las Torres is a large private house hotel with delightful gardens and courtyard, set in a charming rural location which as birdwatchers was ideal for us. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the en-suite bathrooms large although the minibars were no longer stocked and I couldn't work my television but these were very minor problems . However the three rooms we were given weren't the spacious rooms shown on the website although as single male occupants of double rooms it is perhaps understandable that we weren't given the best rooms. So it should have been perfect but somehow wasn't. Compared to Finca Santa Marta the hotel lacked a certain charm and atmosphere, having only been built in the last 30 or so years and the dining room is a far cry for the Finca's ancient olive oil press but this is hardly the owners' fault. More disconcerting however, was being told on arrival told that there would be no evening meals available as the chef had been given a few days holiday, especially as this was the principal reason for chosing this hotel as opposed to others. To be fair their website doesn't seem to mention evening meals but many of the reviews attested to the delicious home cooked food available. Breakfasts too were disappointing with a limited selection. We would arrive late for breakfast after having been out birding, (so it is possible that had we arrived earlier it might have been better). There was no fresh fruit other than oranges and the piled toast/fresh bread slices were cold, hard and unfresh. This could have been easily remedied by providing a toaster in the dining room and a loaf to freshly cut ourselves. The orange juice appeared to be from a carton which was odd given that oranges grow in abundance in the garden. Coffee was individually poured by the owner instead of coffee pots being provided which meant you had to ask everytime you wanted a refill. Sufffice to say that i did not look forward to breakfast which is virtually unheard of for me! So to sum up; a pleasant and well kept hotel with friendly/helpful owners but let down by lack of evening meals and poor breakfasts.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Vina Las Torres. We also really liked the city of Trujillo and the Extremadura region, which were beautiful, rustic, and not over run by tourists. There was a relaxed feel at the hotel as well as the general area.

The positive aspects of the hotel greatly outweighed any negatives.
Pros: quiet, relaxing, close to nature, spacious room, nice location for birdwatchers, mini-refrigerator, outdoor pool, wide selection of breakfast items (cold meats, cheese, two types of juice, coffee/tea, cereal, donuts, bread, hard boiled eggs, fresh pieces of fruit, etc.), and the best the behaved outside dog, The owners were kind, friendly and enthusiastic. Furthermore, they allowed us to check-in early since we arrived directly from the Madrid Airport very early in the morning.

Cons: quality of the coffee (I think it was instant but not sure), no wi-fi in the room, and lack of access to the indoor living areas late at night from the tower rooms.

In closing, we would not hesitate to recommend Vina Las Torres!
