Finca Santa Marta is a former olive oil mill converted into a country inn, situated in the heart of the outstanding natural landscape of the Extremadura dehesa. The Finca is equidistant between the region's medieval towns - Guadalupe, Cáceres and the Roman town of Mérida - and in close proximity to the Monfragüe National Park, famed for its wildlife and popular with birdwatchers.
Finca Santa Marta is the Extremadura version of a "cortijo", composed of two country farms surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and orchards. Breakfast and dinner are served in the ancient olive oil mill with its 19th century hand-driven olive press. The vaulted olive-pressing area has been converted into an enormous guest lounge and library. The house is a treasure trove of antiques and paintings. |
