Atrio

Amazing hotel location, amazing restaurant and cellar. First class staff. Átrio restaurant is the best.

The hotel is a combination of historic details and contemporary design with a beautiful rooftop terrace and two plunge pools. The staff is very welcoming and goes the extra mile for their guests. The restaurant is a true experience where local products are combined with the most delicious flavours. We really enjoyed our stay. Well worth the trip.

This is a really lovely, modern hotel tucked in a historic building in the medieval town center. It is a bit tricky to find, photos would help, but they guide you by phone from the nearby plaza. The location is great, you feel a million miles away from the modern city that surrounds the old town. It's perfect for exploring and feeling immersed in Caceres. Our room was comfortable and well-appointed. The bedside tables are tiny, and the shower temperature was hard to regulate, but other than those nits, it was perfect. The wi-fi was a bit dodgy. Service was top-notch, including twice-daily housekeeping. They have valet service for the car. And when we checked out, they gave us a bag with water bottles and a handful of the caramel candies they keep in a big bowl in the lobby. There is a delightful rooftop terrace and two small pools (one cold, one heated) with a few loungers. It was a great place to relax in the afternoon when it got too hot to keep wandering around town, and it never seemed to be busy, maybe one or two other guests when we were there. Breakfast is a bit later than usual, starting at 8:30. Not the usual buffet, it is a set breakfast delivered to your table, very good. We were able to get it delivered to our room a bit earlier one morning when we had an early appointment. There are two restaurants for dinner, one Michelin 3-starred (Atrio) and one more casual (Torre de Sande) with a beautiful outdoor courtyard as well as indoor seating. It was a magical atmosphere for enjoying a good dinner.

Wat had ik gewone verwachtingen van dit hotel en wat werd het eigenlijk het hoogtepunt van mijn roadtrip. Het hotel lag halverwege op mijn rit naar Portugal en omdat MR Michelin er een heel mooi restaurant had gezet en het een relais te chateau hotel is kan het gewoon niet anders dan goed zijn. De rit naar het hotel werd steeds spannender en de straatjes steeds smaller ook stonden er waarschuwingen dat je alleen met toestemming daar mocht rijden en je moest zelf door een straat rijden waar inrijden verboden was. Na een telefoontje kwamen ze mij gewoon halen en hebben ze mij geholpen. Het hotel is ontzettend mooi en modern in een zeer oud gebouw maar zo ongelooflijk smaak vol verbouwd met alle moderne faciliteiten en de aller aller aller mooiste wijnkelder ooit. Het eten is absoluut de reis waard ( 3 Michelin sterren) maar het hotel is ook super fijn om er enkele dagen te verblijven, Middeleeuwse vestiging stad met sporen van de moren, de joden en de Romeinen. UNESCO werelderfgoed. De kamer was helemaal perfect met een prachtig uitzicht.

Incredible luxury hotel in the heart of the old town. Amazing service and care from everyone from the get go. The restaurant here is an event and a reason in itself to stop here for the night. The town is also charming. So glad we chose this place on our road trip between Lisbon and Madrid.

My wife and I booked the "Total Experience" package at Atrio which consisted of 2 nights stay in the hotel with breakfast, 2 gourmet meals, a casual meal, Champagne and ham and visits to the wine cellar and kitchen. We can sum up the experience in one word - amazing. Firstly, the hotel. From arrival to departure the service we received was impeccable. All the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. We had booked a junior deluxe suite and the room was superb. Large, airy, with high quality furnishings and fittings in both the bedroom and the bathroom. After our arrival we had our Champagne and wonderful local ham sitting under a shady tree in the beautiful courtyard garden. It was magic! During the afternoon we made use of the rooftop terrace where there are two plunge pools. The terrace is furnished again with high class products and with soft jazzour "casual playing in the background was so so relaxing. We phoned down for a pot of tea which arrived on a silver tray within 10 minutes. Our first dinner as a tasting menu celebrating the Iberian pig, consisting of 18 elements. We ran out of superlatives trying to describe our feelings. Every dish was a work of art on the plate, and the flavours just left our palates zinging. Next day we had our casual lunch in the Torre D Sande restaurant in the building next door, owned by the same group. It was 5 dish meal, with each dish larger than a tapas, but smaller than a "media racion" and was just right. I think the corquettas there were the best we have ever had. Dinner that night was another tasting menu, again of 18 elements, but totally different from the previous night. Again every dish was wonderful. During our stay, the kitchen was being run by the Sous Chef Alberto Montes and he and the team of chefs are all masters of their art. The dining room was run by Alba Seruan who was fabulous, clearly describing what was being served to us and how best to eat it. One of the things that really impressed me was that very quickly it was recognised that I was left handed and from that moment my cutlery was set out accordingly. It was an attention to detail I had never experienced before in quality reaturants around the world. Did we have any quibbles? Well, we felt that the visit to the amazing wine cellar was rather rushed and we would have liked more time to talk to the sommelier about the suparb collection of wines. Also, the set breakfast we thought a little disappointing. Having said that, it was an experience that we will remember for a long, long time.
