The cortijo’s whitewashed arch

For producers and photographers

A real cortijo, not a set

HierbaBuena keeps the architecture of an Andalusian cortijo more than two hundred years old, restored with noble materials. Every space has its own character and a different light through the day.

We host fashion shoots, advertising campaigns, wedding editorials and film productions, with the peace of a private house and no interruptions.

Light through the day

A different set every hour

The same house offers very different atmospheres depending on the time.

  1. Cobbled courtyard in front of the façade

    Morning

    The courtyard

    Clean light on the cobbles and white walls; crisp shadows beneath the tower.

  2. Living room with fireplace and beams

    Interiors

    Beams and fireplace

    Wood, lime and texture for warm, intimate scenes.

  3. Pool with palm trees and blue sky

    Midday

    The water

    The pool, the lawn and the palms under an almost always blue sky.

    Night

    The house aglow

    The façade lit against the dark countryside, an unforgettable shot.

Available spaces

Walk through the house before you come

Each space opens its gallery on the estate’s interactive map.

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.

Exclusive use

The whole house is yours: no other guests, no other celebrations, no strangers.

4 bedrooms, 8 guests

Those you choose can sleep at the cortijo and live the celebration from beginning to end.

Pool, garden and porch

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.

A conversation, not a price list

Length of stay, dates and terms are discussed in private, shaped around what you imagine.

Those who were here

What they tell us afterwards

We shot a campaign over two days and every corner gave us a different frame. The house has a light you cannot get in a studio.

For a bridal editorial it was exactly what we wanted: arches, lime and the calm to work without rushing.
