El Capricho, Villamiel Overview
El Capricho is located in Villamiel, Spain. Rated 9.0 out of 10 based on 17 guest reviews.
El Capricho is a family-friendly hotel in Villamiel, Spain, set on Calle del Teso, s/n, where quiet countryside stays meet practical comforts for travellers on the move. With a guest rating of 9/10 from 17 reviews, it’s repeatedly described as welcoming and easy to settle into, including for groups who want a straightforward base rather than a complicated schedule. Check-in runs from 12:00 to 22:30, so late arrivals are manageable, while check-out is at 11:00.
The rooms are non-smoking and air-conditioned, which matters in this part of Extremadura when temperatures change through the day. Families often appreciate the family rooms and the fact that children are welcome, while road-trip travellers like the free parking and the option of discounted offsite parking. Evenings are made more flexible by the on-site restaurant and the shared lounge/TV area, and the terrace gives you a simple place to slow down after sightseeing.
