Built at the beginning of the 20th century close to Montijo, this house was, at the time, one of the biggest estates in the country producing mainly wine. The interior is decorated with beautiful tiles depicting agricultural themes such as vineyards, bullfighting, and horse. The family is proud of its links with bullfighting so this is a special place for horse riders.
