- Qué tiene: 19th-century house · Garden and vegetable plot · 7 rooms and cottage · Homemade breakfast

A 19th-century family house with a garden, glazed gallery and seven rooms plus a small cottage, on the Plaza del Convento; homemade buffet breakfast.

The Family House on the Plaza del Convento
El Jardín del Convento is at Plaza del Convento, 22, in the district named after the former Trinitarian convent, today the Hospedería Valle del Ambroz, which is next door. The house was built in the mid-19th century as a family home and remained so until it was opened to guests: the restoration lasted from 1999 to 2001 and respected almost all of the original layout, symmetrical, with spacious rooms and corridors and high ceilings. Part of the stone walls and the chestnut-wood structure remain visible. Hervás Tourism has it registered as a three-star country house.
It is accommodation by the room. From the door you can walk to the Jewish quarter and the Corredera, in the centre of the village.
Seven Rooms, Each with Its Own Size
All have a bathroom with shower, heated towel rail and hairdryer, heating with individual control, air conditioning, television and free wifi, and the website gives the square metres of each:

Room 1, onto the square, 16 m²: 135 cm bed and the house's original clay-tile floor.
Rooms 2 and 3, onto the garden, on the first floor: 17 m² with 150 cm bed and 12.5 m² with 135 cm bed; room 3 is also rented as a single.
Room 4, onto the garden, 29 m²: 160 by 200 cm bed and space for two extra beds.
Room 5, onto the square, 30 m²: two 90 cm beds and a 140 cm sofa bed.
Room 6, onto the square, 30 m²: suite-style, with a bedroom with a 150 cm bed and a sitting room with two trundle beds.
Room 7, on the ground floor and adapted for people with reduced mobility: 39 m², wood-burning fireplace, adapted bathroom with underfloor heating and up to four people.

The Cottage, at the Bottom of the Garden
Apart from the house there is a stone building on the left side of the garden, of 80 m² between ground floor and attic. Downstairs, a sitting room with wood-burning fireplace, kitchen and bathroom; upstairs, two attic bedrooms separated by a door, one with a 135 cm bed and the other with two 90 cm beds. It has its own patch of lawn with awning and garden furniture, and the house recommends it for couples with children.
A Thousand Metres of Box, Vegetable Garden and Wisteria
Behind the house, facing south-south-west, the garden covers about 1,000 m² and preserves its 19th-century layout: geometric paths between century-old box hedges, with vegetable garden and fruit trees. It has benches and tables dotted around and discreet lighting for going out at night. On the first floor, a 65 m² terrace covered by a wisteria looks onto the garden and the sierra; on the ground floor, the 57 m² glazed gallery is the dining room and sitting room.
The Breakfast in the Gallery
It is served as a buffet in that gallery: freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade sponge cakes, Hervás sweets, local ham and cheeses, seasonal fruit, homemade quince paste and jams from its garden, with coffee, teas and cocoa. It costs €12 for adults and €7 for under-tens, VAT included, and is paid separately.
