Exclusive-use boutique cortijo in the heart of the Extremaduran dehesa. Monesterio, Badajoz.
A private estate for a wedding that truly feels like yours
Celebrate your wedding in a private cortijo in southern Spain, surrounded by dehesa pastureland, olive trees, open nature and the unmistakable calm of Andalusia.
Acepados is not a conventional wedding venue. It is a private estate for couples who want to experience their wedding with time, intimacy and freedom: alongside the people who matter most, at their own pace and with a celebration designed around their story.
THE CONCEPT
Not just a wedding day. A wedding stay.
At Acepados, your wedding does not have to be limited to a single day or a fixed format.
Some couples choose a short, intimate stay around the wedding day. Others prefer to spend several days at the cortijo with their closest family and friends, creating a fuller experience around the celebration.
There is no mandatory itinerary.
There is no standard number of nights.
Acepados gives you the privacy, spaces and freedom to design a wedding stay that feels right for you.
Your stay. Your pace. Your wedding in Andalusia.
“It is not a standard venue. Aprivate wedding stay in Andalusia”

ACCOMMODATION AND GUEST LOGISTICS
Staying at Acepados and nearby.
Your closest guests stay at the Cortijo. Everyone else remains comfortably connected to the estate.
Acepados offers accommodation for up to 26 guests inside the house: 8 en-suite double bedrooms, plus one additional private group room for up to 10 guests. This accommodation is usually reserved for the couple, immediate family, closest friends or members of the wedding party.
For the rest of your guests, María can help you understand the best nearby accommodation options. Depending on availability, guest profile and dates, she can guide you towards hotels, rural houses or accommodation in the surrounding area.
If nearby accommodation is limited, or if guests prefer to stay in Seville, private buses can be arranged to bring them to Acepados and take them back after the celebration. This is a common and practical solution for destination weddings.
“Your inner circle lives the Cortijo from within. Your wider group stays comfortably connected.”
