Karen's Review Of This Property:
Henri Elink Schuurman and his Spanish wife, Marta, are owners of a beautiful 19th-century farm (finca) with two granite houses, an olive press, a winery, and a house chapel 14 kilometers outside Trujillo (on the road between the lovely town of Trujilloto and Guadalupe). With patience and love they have tucked guestrooms into the various buildings, taking great care not to disturb the ambiance of the farm that makes a stay here so special. Henri (formerly a Dutch diplomat) and Marta, a talented artist and decorator, have created a beautiful ambiance of rustic simplicity. The entire farm is absolutely delightful. We really like all the bedrooms but if you want complete privacy, opt for El Palomar, a little cottage in the olive garden. Country-cute rooms are tucked into the former farm buildings overlooking the olive grove. Each has a private patio where you can sit out in the evening. We particularly loved Las Ciguanas, the grandest of suites in the farmhouse. An abundant breakfast and dinner are served in the “almazara” (wine press) or out in the vine-covered courtyard. There are two swimming pools and acres of grapes, olive groves, and cherry and almond trees. It’s a paradise for birdwatchers. The dogs are always looking for guests willing to take them for a walk to the nearby village of San Clemente with its pretty little church. This is an ideal spot for visiting Trujillo and Guadalupe.
