Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Cáceres

If you are looking at a vacation rental in Cáceres, the first thing you should know is that the city is divided into two very clear zones when it comes to staying. On one side is the old town, declared a World Heritage Site, where most of the tourist apartments and guesthouses are concentrated. Here you will find cobbled streets, squares with arcades and monuments such as the Concatedral de Santa María or the Palacio de los Golfines. Staying in this area has the advantage that everything important is within walking distance, but it also has its drawbacks: access by car is complicated, there are few parking spaces and the noise from bars and terraces can be annoying if you are looking for total rest. On the other hand, there is the modern expansion, around the avenida de España and the station area, where most of the hotels and some larger apartments are located. Here the price is usually somewhat lower, parking is easier and you are fifteen or twenty minutes on foot from the historic center.

The main difference between both areas is the atmosphere and comfort. In the old town, the experience is more immersive: you leave the front door and you are directly on the tourist route, with tapas bars, craft shops and viewpoints. In the expansion, on the other hand, you gain in tranquility and practical services such as large supermarkets, pharmacies open late or more frequent urban transport. If you travel as a couple or for a short getaway, it is worth paying a little more to be inside the wall. If you go with family or with people with reduced mobility, the expansion will be more comfortable for you, because the old town has steep slopes and stairs in many accesses.

As for prices, the 177 accommodations offered on the platform start at 60 euros per night, with an average of 118 euros and an average category of 3.5 stars. The months of July and August are the most expensive, but also the hottest, with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees. The best value for money is found in May, June, September and October, when the climate is pleasant and prices drop by up to 20 or 30 percent compared to summer. There are also good offers during the week from November to February, except during Holy Week, when the city fills up and prices skyrocket. To get there, the most practical option is the car, because the city is well connected by the A-66 from Madrid or Seville, and by the A-58 from Portugal. If you come by train, the Cáceres station has connections with Madrid and Badajoz, and from there you can take a taxi or an urban bus. To move around the city, almost everything is done on foot, although there is a bus line that goes around the old town and several taxi stops at the main entrances.

Before booking, check carefully whether the accommodation has an elevator, because many old buildings in the center do not have one and the stairs can be a problem. Also check whether the price includes final cleaning, bed linen and towels, and whether there is any supplement for pets or for arrival outside the usual hours. Read recent reviews about soundproofing, because in the old town the stone walls do not always insulate well from outside noise. And if you need parking, always ask if they have an agreement with a nearby parking lot, because in the center there are no free spaces on the street. Examples of accommodations you can find are Caciris, La Casina de Cáceres, Apartamentos La Machacona Plaza de Santiago or Apartamento La Machacona Paneras, all of them with different characteristics in terms of location and services.
