Hospedería Conventual Sierra de Gata

Hospedería Conventual Sierra de Gata is a four-star hotel in San Martín de Trevejo, set inside a 15th-century Franciscan convent dedicated to St. Michael. The building sits at the edge of the town, framed by the hills of the Sierra de Gata, and mixes modern accommodation with visible traces of its monastic past — stone walls and vaulted archways that are most noticeable in the spa area.

How do you get there?

The hotel is roughly 635 metres from the centre of San Martín de Trevejo, an easy few-minute walk from the main square and old streets. Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward — San Martín de Trevejo lies in the province of Cáceres, in the Extremadura region, within the Sierra de Gata range close to the Portuguese border.

What's inside the hotel?

The former convent has been converted into contemporary rooms decorated in brown and cream tones, each with a flat-screen TV and minibar. Free Wi-Fi covers the public areas. Guests have access to an à la carte restaurant, a café, a seasonal outdoor pool, a garden with a sun terrace, and a gym. Three banquet and meeting rooms make the property suitable for events and business gatherings as well as leisure stays.

The spa is a distinct part of the offer, occupying former convent rooms where stone walls and arched passageways create a different atmosphere than a standard hotel wellness area. Available for an extra charge, it includes Scottish showers, a sauna, and a hot tub. Outside, guests can use tennis and paddle tennis courts.

What's worth seeing nearby?

San Martín de Trevejo is one of the so-called "Cuatro Lugares" (Four Villages) of the Sierra de Gata, known for its well-preserved stone houses with timber-framed upper floors and for "a fala," a local dialect still spoken by part of the population. Thanks to its location inside the old convent building, the hotel works as a base for exploring the village itself and the hiking routes in the surrounding Sierra de Gata mountains.

Who is this hotel for?

Listed on travel platforms as one of just two B&B-style properties in San Martín de Trevejo, with a 4-out-of-5 guest rating, the hotel has an intimate scale that suits travellers looking for quiet, nature, and local architecture rather than a large resort. The combination of a historic setting, spa, and restaurant appeals both to couples wanting a low-key getaway and to groups making use of the meeting rooms.
