El Canchal de la Gallina, Hervas Overview
El Canchal de la Gallina is a 3-star hotel in Hervas, Spain. Rated 9.6 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
El Canchal de la Gallina is a 3-star countryside stay in Hervás, Cáceres, Spain, set at Paraje El Lomo in the rural outskirts where the landscape shapes the pace of your trip. Check in runs from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and the seasonal outdoor pool and terrace are the kind of extras guests tend to remember, especially when the day’s hiking and biking plans wind down. Inside, the lobby fireplace adds a warm touch for quieter evenings, and free WiFi helps you stay connected without turning the stay into a work retreat.
The property’s standout for many visitors is how comfortable and calm it feels; with a guest rating of 9.6/10 from five reviews, recent guests highlight the overall experience and the sense that the place works well for relaxing between activities. While the hotel offers breakfast for a surcharge, it’s also a practical base if you prefer to explore Hervás and return when you’re ready to slow down.
