Hacienda El Boyal lies on the periphery of the village of Torrecera, about 20 kms southeast of the town centre of Jerez de la Frontera and about 35 kms from the nearest beaches. It has a generally flat land area of 166.700 sqm which slopes down to the Guadalete River in the north and borders onto the road from Jerez de la Frontera to San José del Valle in the south.When the current owners looked to find a suitable property to realise their dream of a small hotel with excellent riding facilities they immediately recognized the great potential of Hacienda El Boyal to convert this derelict farm into the most advanced, luxurious and complete resort of its kind in western Andalusia. After three years of construction to rehabilitate the old building and adding new ones, the owners have turned the estate into a fascinating and beautiful complex consisting of a luxurious hotel, a designer restaurant and a state-of-the-art riding center in the fabulous land of the sun.

For the foals there is a separate stable building and for the ponies there are open stables for 6 to 8 horses. The total capacity under the present licence is for approximately 70 horses.

Manor House
The manor house was
the first building to be built in the late eighteen hundred and consists
of two floors. The
ground floor boasts an impressive entrance hall with a vaulted beamed
ceiling leading into
the even more impressive reception hall also with vaulted ceilings
supported by massive
pillars. The integrated dining area seats 14 people at a heavy pine
table and the lounge
is dominated by a man high open fire place. The original floor tiles
were left intact
giving the lounge an aura of history and old luxury. Adjoining the dining area
is the large and
modern kitchen, completely rebuilt, from where an old spiral service
staircase leads to
the upper floor. Next to the kitchen is a pantry plus a separate leading
into the fully
equipped laundry room with direct access to the patio. The upper floor of
the house is reached via a sturdy wide staircase winding up from the entrance hall. There
are three bedroom suites leading off from the decorative landing. A few steps down lies
the guest suite lending intimacy to the main family suites. The upper floor is fully air
conditioned and has under floor heating throughout. The private gardens
of some 2.500 sqm include a large conventional swimming pool and a 70 sqm covered porch
with summer kitchen and barbecue. The gardens border onto the
foals’ paddocks to
the south and onto the alfalfa fields to the west.
