How our fees work

Our planning fees are always covered in your wedding package. They are set based on the typical effort and level of responsibility each service takes to organise, and not as a percentage of your budget, i.e. a bigger budget does not mean a bigger fee for us.

Handpicked by our local planner and vetted as suitable for intimate celebrations, the farmhouse has fulfilled our couples' wedding dreams.

Keep reading to explore this venue's features for your big day in Spain.

Facilities

We highly recommend that you stay in the farmhouse for multiple days to truly savor all that it has to offer. When the celebration is done, spend quality time with the love of your life in this oasis of nature and elegance. Stroll through the gardens. Pamper yourself in its world-class spa where you can witness unparalleled sunsets. Dip in the pool while appreciating the forests, mountains, and clear skies. Finally, enjoy authentic regional cuisine prepared by the in-house restaurant using the estate's natural produce. Make your destination wedding in Spain a truly unforgettable experience for you and your small group of favorite people by celebrating in this little oasis.

Accommodation

Even your honeymoon is guaranteed to be relaxed and perfect when you choose this farmhouse for your celebration in Spain.
The rooms were built to be elegant and comfortable, decorated with a rustic touch that showcases the Andalusian spirit. They're not just bedrooms — each space celebrates the fusion of elegance, authentic Spanish ambiance, and contemporary amenities that complete a comfortable stay.

Choose from a variety of rooms, some with panoramic views of the forests and mountains straight from the windows, while others feature the colorful gardens that greet you when you wake to birds singing.

Reception

The courtyard is dedicated to drinks receptions, with a pathway surrounded by romantic water features. Your guests will enjoy this spot while you escape for a quick photoshoot in the salon.

Alternatively, you can hold the drinks reception in the winery, surrounded by the rich history of the family's heritage: wine-making. This space in the venue feels authentically Spanish with wine barrels in every corner, yet cozy enough for intimate celebrations.
Treat your whole wedding party to delectable Spanish cuisine in the banquet hall, with period furniture, lavish chandeliers, and classic Andalusian architecture. It's a flexible space for dinners ranging from 40 to 300 guests. The fewer people it accommodates, the more spacious it feels.

If you're bringing very few guests to the farmhouse for the most intimate celebrations, tables and chairs can be set up in the garden so you and your guests can enjoy al fresco dining under elegant sunshades.
As we shared in the beginning, the farmhouse prides itself on flexibility, and you will experience that as you plan and finalize the details with our wedding coordinator in Spain.

Ceremony

Time and again, the farmhouse has proven itself a reliable location for memorable intimate weddings. Couples from the US, Canada, and Asia who discover the venue willingly fly all the way to Spain just to experience what it offers for small weddings and private celebrations.

You can tie the knot outdoors amid the garden, overlooking the mountains, while savoring the extended sunny period and bright blue skies. Even in winter, the sun still provides perfect lighting for wedding photos. Schedule your vows for late afternoon toward sunset, when skies shift into dramatic palettes of pink and tangerine.

If you want an extended celebration, you can schedule the ceremony very early in the morning to avoid midday heat and wrap up early so you and your guests can enjoy the pool and laid-back conversation in the afternoon toward sunset.
In rare cases when the weather doesn't cooperate, you can say "I do" indoors at the banquet hall or in the comfort of the cozy lounge that's perfect for micro weddings.

Just share your desired ceremony setup with our wedding planner in Spain, and she will arrange everything as a regular inclusion in all our packages for weddings in Spain.

History

Aside from its serene natural surroundings, the venue boasts cherished history dating back to the 18th century. The owners describe the farmhouse as a quiet witness to essential episodes of Spain's history. It started as a family resort for the prominent lineage of Ahumada — one of their properties showcasing their nobility, great wealth, and love for architecture.

Since its construction, the family has committed itself to values that helped preserve the farmhouse throughout the centuries: environmental conservation, hospitality, promotion of outdoor activities, and excellent service. These values have kept the venue's beauty and history intact throughout the challenges of changing times.

Now, it remains a favorite venue for celebrations of all types.
