Located far away from the hustle and bustle within the Extremenian countryside, Valencia de Alcántara is less than five minutes away from the Spanish-Portuguese border, where history has left its fingerprint: dolmens, Roman ruins, Visigoth traces, synagogues, medieval castles and walled sites. It is also close to Cáceres, Mérida and Évora, Unesco world heritage sites.

Guests can also enjoy Portuguese cosiest villages, Marvao and Castelo de Vide, or play golf at the beautiful 18-hole golf course of Ammaia in Marvao, where the hotel can organise preferential green fees.
