Open · Spring through late October

A farmhouse

among
the oaks.

Six rooms in a four-hundred-year-old finca on the dehesa, where black pigs graze under holm oaks and the nearest village is a forty-minute walk through the trees. We grow most of dinner.

The rooms

Six rooms,
six trees.

Lime plaster, oak beams pulled from the land, beds dressed in undyed linen. No televisions, no minibars — a carafe of the estate wine instead.

La Encina

€290

The largest, in the old hayloft. A vaulted ceiling, a writing desk under the gable window, and the whole dehesa laid out beyond.

El Alcornoque

€240

Named for the cork oak outside its window. Ground floor, cool through the heat of the day, opening straight onto the courtyard.

El Olivo

€220

Tucked behind the olive press, the quietest of the six. A deep stone tub, a single chair, and a window that holds one perfect tree.

The table

We grow
most of it.

Dinner is one menu, one sitting, served at a single oak table in the old olive barn. The kitchen cooks what the garden, the herd, and the season hand over — which is to say, it’s different every night you come.

  • Garden gazpacho, estate oil
    i.
  • Ibérico, acorn-fed, over coals
    ii.
  • Figs, honey, sheep’s curd

The days

There is, deliberately, not very much to do.

i.

Walk the dehesa

Forty hectares of holm oak and open grass. Take the map from the hall, take your time, take nothing back.

ii.

The pool & the shade

A cold stone pool cut into the hillside, a hammock under the great oak, a book you brought and won’t finish.

iii.

Press & cellar

Meet the herd at dusk, pull a glass straight from the cask, watch the oil run amber at the old press.

“We did nothing for four days and came home changed. I have never been anywhere so completely quiet.”

“Dinner at the long table with eight strangers who weren’t strangers by dessert. The best meal of the year, easily.”
Javier P. · Sevilla · El Olivo
★★★★★
“The walk back from the village at dusk, the pigs in the oaks, the wine straight from the cask. I think about it constantly.”

Visit

Getting
to the finca.

Two hours from Madrid or Sevilla, then twenty minutes of dirt track. We’ll send the gate code and a map when you book — or meet you in the village if you’d rather not drive the last stretch.
