Hotel Casar de Cáceres is a three-star hotel in the municipality of Casar de Cáceres, a small town approximately 12 kilometres north of the city of Cáceres, in Extremadura, Spain. Casar de Cáceres is nationally celebrated as the birthplace of Torta del Casar — a raw Merino sheep's milk cheese with Protected Designation of Origin status, known for its intensely flavoured liquid interior and distinctive handmade rounds. The hotel makes this exceptional local product a centrepiece of its hospitality, with cheese tastings incorporated into the guest experience alongside the restaurant and bar.
The hotel's rooms span Standard Double and Family Room configurations, with an outdoor swimming pool and free parking on site. The restaurant serves traditional Extremaduran cuisine with a strong emphasis on local charcuterie from Iberian pigs, Torta del Casar cheese courses, and roasted meats including cordero (lamb) and cochinillo (suckling pig). Rates beginning from approximately €55 per night represent strong value for a property with pool access and a restaurant specialising in some of the finest artisan food products in Spain.
The proximity to Cáceres city — approximately 15 minutes by car — means guests can combine a relatively quiet rural base with day visits to the UNESCO World Heritage Old City and its extraordinary collection of medieval palaces and monuments. Several artisan Torta del Casar cheese producers in the town accept visits by prior appointment, and the hotel can assist with arranging introductions to local cheesemakers. Casar de Cáceres' traditional market provides further access to local produce. The Monfragüe National Park, renowned for its populations of black vultures, Spanish imperial eagles, and other raptors, is approximately 40 kilometres to the northeast and makes an excellent day excursion.
Families, food enthusiasts, and travellers seeking a quieter base than Cáceres city itself will find Hotel Casar de Cáceres an interesting and rewarding option.
