Hotel Balneario Valle del Jerte

A spa in the lower part of the valley

The Hotel Balneario Valle del Jerte is beside the N-110, at the level of Valdastillas, among cherry trees and about 15 minutes from Cabezuela del Valle. It has four stars and 77 rooms, and its centre is the Patio de Aguas (Water Courtyard), an area of natural and mineral-medicinal waters. It is the valley's accommodation for anyone who wants a walk in the morning and hot water in the afternoon.

The Patio de Aguas

It is done in 90-minute circuits. The Basic Path (Senda Básica) brings together the active pool, with swan-neck jet, waterfall, air beds and jets, the jacuzzi, aromatic showers and dry and steam saunas. The Aromas Path adds a peeling and an infusion or juice; the Thermal Path, a circular shower with mineral-medicinal water and a peeling of Dead Sea salt and eucalyptus. Guests get a 10% discount on individual treatments.
