Christenings at HierbaBuena
A peaceful christening at a cortijo in Almería
Grandparents, godparents and a newcomer. A table in the courtyard, the breeze from the rambla and a house that follows the pace of the tenderest day.
A family welcome
Made for a baby’s pace
A christening asks for calm: an unhurried lunch, a cool place to rest and the family close by. At HierbaBuena the whole house is yours for the day.
If the little one needs a nap, quiet bedrooms are a few steps from the table. The grown-ups carry on without losing sight of what matters.
How the day unfolds
A celebration in a quiet voice
No rush, no strict timetable: the day adapts to the family.
Midday
Arrival
After the ceremony, the family arrives at a cool courtyard where the house is already open.
Aperitif
The first toast
Under the porch, the godparents raise a glass to the newest member of the family.
Lunch
The family table
A simple, carefully prepared lunch at the pace of conversation.
Afternoon
A moment of calm
The little one rests in a cool bedroom while the afternoon stretches out in the garden.
The house, yours alone
Everything you need to know
Every celebration is different, but some things never change once you step through the cortijo’s door.
4 bedrooms, 8 guests
Those you choose can sleep at the cortijo and live the celebration from beginning to end.

Outdoor spaces for every moment of the day, from first light to the last lingering meal.
Catering your way
Bring your own suppliers or choose from those we recommend, who already know the house.
Music welcome
Music is part of the celebration, always at a volume that respects the house and its surroundings.

Those who were here
What they tell us afterwards
Our daughter napped peacefully while we had lunch on the porch. We could not have imagined a calmer place for her christening.
We were only a few, just as we wanted. The house felt made for us: cool, quiet and beautiful.
