The hotel description fit all my criteria. It had parking outside, a tapas bar/cafe and a restaurant. Located on the main road east of town it doesn’t, as with most main road hotels in Spain, have a specific address (this one is Carretera Soria - Plasencia, 15) so Google Maps was needed to pinpoint its location.
It is a large, long two-storey hotel so luckily my room was on the first floor accessed by the staircase or elevator next to the small smart reception area and just a short distance from the landing.
My room was large, modern and smart although I have two minor complaints. (1) The mechanism for the toilet seat is set for female use. It crashes down for normal male standing-up urination. (2) Switching on the shower at full power made the shower head move rapidly vertical so that water cascaded at speed over the top of the shower curtain ensuring that the whole of the bathroom benefitted from its use.
I had checked before my arrival and was ensured that the restaurant would be open. It wasn’t !!! I was offered a table in bar area where I could choose from the restaurant menu. However, all the tables were occupied so I was moved into the very smart restaurant as its sole occupier and was looked after royally by the manager and a young helpful waiter. The meal was excellent, the Protos Ribera excellent and the addition of a complimentary crab and prawn salad tapas starter much appreciated.
In the end, no complaints. I was looked after extremely well so it was a very enjoyable stay followed by a free breakfast and a wander around town in the morning before moving on to my next location.

Truly charming rural hotel in this hidden valley above Barco de Avila.A real oasis of calm with incredible views of the Gredos mountains. Beautiful, furnishings in the spacious bedrooms. Large but cosy sitting rooms, gorgeous terracota terraces looking out over the garden and Sierra. The service was warm and friendly sorting our every need. We ate twice in the restaurant in the evening and lunch the following day because the outside terrace was such a special spot.The food was good, both the fish and meat. We really fell in love with the place and area. Perfect for walking and cycling and close to the town of Barco. We shall return! Very good value for money!

Breakfast was excellent, the house is a beautifully renewed building in the upper part of town, very easy to access and near a public car park (free) if you're driving from Navacarros (great scenic road). Coming from Bejar access is a bit trickier, as you have to drive through the village, but the host is very helpful and provides clear instructions.

The owner -the property-the horses -all fantastic .This was our third visit and it will not be our last
Lovely little town/village. Castle, plaza and views of the mountains.
We had a medical emergency in the middle of the night and the doctor turned out to the health centre, where she stitched the wound on my wife's forehead, following a serious fall. It was 3.30 am, there's no chance you would get that service in England.

El Barco is a cute, very little village which one should visit while, for example, on their way from Madrid to Salamanca. Or use as a base for nature exploring and/or mountain climbing or other sports.
But there is not very much to do and see so if you're only interested in culture you're better off going to a city like Salamanca. Schedule maximum 2 days, 1 night to visist this village.
And include a Saturday/Sunday since this villages only museum (dedicated to the very famous El Barco beans) is only open in the weekend :).

The Hotel is divided into 3 (at least) buildings: Main one with the reception, bar, restaurant and Suites; another with "small houses" living room with fireplace plus room on an upper floor; and a last one with typical rooms (where we stayed). The room was well heated and was quiet. The meal we had at the restaurant was exceptionally good and the price was fair. The staff was all 5 stars. The Hotel is just outside the town and has a nice view of the mountains - pack some hiking equipment and a camera, you won't regret it.
The hotel Mirador has a wonderful location on a hill overlooking the t o r m e s River, the Romanesque bridge, the quaint town of el barco de Avila, and the great Castle. The staff kindly let us enter our room early. They also upgraded us to a third floor Room with a View. The room was very spacious and good. The breakfast was very good. We only had to walk 100 yards to get to the old bridge which crosses the river to the Old Town. It was a wonderfully restful place.
The hotel's interior looks old and some areas need maintenance but it is clean and has good sound isolation.Staff was nice,location great & parking available. Rooms are well isolated as we heard no noise from other rooms and hotel was quite full. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quite spacious.
Really good hotel in the village, great value for money, decent sized rooms and a comfortable bed, the staff are really friendly and helpful, I had dinner which in the cafeteria was quality.
I was traveling by motorcycle and they have parking at the front.
Beautiful surroundings, lovely room in a building out from the main hotel complete with small balcony and hydromassage bathtub. Decent breakfast and great value for money, friendly staff
