Hacienda El Cortijuelo hosts weddings, christenings, first communions, congresses and product presentations, with a main hall for about 300 guests, a second hall for about 150 and two garden patios. The venue is a former olive-oil hacienda in Espartinas, in the Aljarafe area just west of Seville, in Andalusia.
Seminars and company events
The hacienda lists congresses and product presentations among its corporate uses and states that its halls are equipped with modern audiovisual technology. The main hall takes around 300 people, which allows a plenary session, a launch or a company dinner in a single room. The second hall suits a smaller presentation, a workshop or a reception after a conference. All indoor spaces are climate controlled, an important point for events during the Seville summer. The patios can host a welcome drink, a networking break or an outdoor lunch between sessions, and the short drive from the city keeps transfers simple for a group staying in Seville.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core activity, together with christenings and first communions. A typical plan uses one of the patios for the aperitif and the main hall for the banquet. With two halls and two patios, a wedding can move between indoor and outdoor spaces through the evening without leaving the estate, and the smaller hall gives room for a second setting or a dance floor.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall, set in the former atarazana, one of the old working buildings of the estate, holds about 300 guests. The reception hall occupies the former wine press and fermentation cellar and takes about 150. The two patios, once the olive mill yard and the storehouse for table olives, are now gardens used for receptions and outdoor meals. The site gives a total area of about 4,000 square meters.
Accommodation
The official site does not mention bedrooms on the estate. Guests usually stay in Seville or in the Aljarafe towns nearby.
Catering
The venue's contact address and social media accounts carry the name of Sartoria, a catering brand, which indicates that the catering comes from the same group. The site does not detail menus, so the catering offer and its terms should be confirmed when asking for a quote.
History and setting
El Cortijuelo belongs to the olive-oil haciendas of the Guadalquivir Valley, a family of rural estates that prospered between the 16th and 19th centuries on the export of oil to the Americas. The venue dates its building to the 17th century. An inscription on the counterweight tower of the olive mill records a restoration in 1841. The current halls reuse the working buildings of the hacienda, so guests dine in rooms that once held presses, vats and cellars.
Getting there
The hacienda is at Avenida Alcaldesa María Regla Jiménez 82 in Espartinas, about 10 minutes by car from Seville. Seville Airport and Sevilla Santa Justa station, served by high-speed trains from Madrid, are the nearest arrival points for guests coming from further away.
