Our suggestion is to assign the rooms before the group’s arrival, to avoid improvisations in their distribution. We will ask you for information about the size and characteristics of your group, such as if you are traveling as a family or only adults. We will explain our standard of rooms and how we can adapt them to the needs of your group.

Remember also, we offer flexibility in check-in and check-out times so you can fully enjoy your stay with us.

#we_are_small_we_are_exclusive

“Being small is a good thing for our guests because we offer them total flexibility in terms of schedules during their stay at Acepados. Here, you don’t just book a minimum of 2 nights, but rather 3 full days. If it’s a weekend, you can arrive on Friday for lunch at the hacienda and leave on Sunday after dinner. It’s important that we know your estimated arrival times.

We’ll be there to welcome you. We apologize, but this is more than just a rural house, this cortijo includes a range of services provided by our support team. We don’t have 24/7 service like a rural hotel, nor a permanent reception, but we do have assistance available at all times that will try to remain unnoticed among you.”

Once you arrive at the cortijo, you will enjoy the benefits of our professional service with periodic but not continuous attention to our guests. We divide these into the following stages:

Enjoying good food and wine at Acepados

#wine_lovers: Love for wines is like love for horses. We will never be experts because there is always more to learn. We organize all types of tastings, both for beginners and wine enthusiasts, sitting in front of our exclusive vineyard, where we will pair these wines with cheeses and even Iberian ham, by sommeliers focused and experts in regional products.

#beer_tasting: We have the great opportunity to taste regional craft beers, focused on local products and special pairings.

#cooking_classes: Focused on enjoying the most exclusive and produced products of the Iberian pig, in its many varieties of elaboration and preparation. We organize outdoor cooking classes in the area of the cortijo’s gardens, surrounded by the dehesa and with a large table around which to enjoy the demonstration and tasting, enjoying both the food and the company.

#starlight_acepados: We are within a protected sky from light pollution, so if we want to enjoy the star show we can organize a private session with our local specialist (https://www.cartaestelartentudia.es/), with or without pairing.

#AOVE: We are within an olive grove, it’s something more complex, but maybe you would like a tasting of extra virgin olive oils, or even, if we are in season, actively participate in the manual harvesting of the olive.”

• #adventure_acepados: on the Los Acepados estate, you will find over 200 hectares (500 acres) of private land where you can go hiking, practice trekking, bike routes, horseback rides, etc. We do it in a sustainable way, not allowing combustion engine vehicles to circulate on our more than 10 kilometers of private roads. We like to enjoy our landscapes in peace. In our Welcome Guide you will find dozens of routes, itineraries and options.

Choose the type of route, select the duration, select the hardness and difficulty …. there are options for beginners and families, as well as more demanding routes.
