About Finca El Campillo
A fortified house of the 15th and 16th centuries in the oak dehesa below San Lorenzo de El Escorial, half an hour from Madrid and in sight of Philip II’s monastery.
The building has a documented line back to the 13th century, was a hunting lodge for the Trastámara kings and was absorbed into the royal estates around El Escorial under Philip II; it is granite masonry and tile, austere in the Guadarrama farmhouse manner, with a Gothic hermitage in the grounds.
The estate runs to about 500 hectares of pasture, ponds and centenary paths, with formal gardens, stables and a viewpoint over the monastery.
Weddings work from 25 up to 300 guests.

How historic is the building?+
The Casa-fuerte de El Campillo has origins recorded from the 12th and 13th centuries, served the Trastámara kings as a hunting lodge, and passed into the royal lands attached to the Monastery of El Escorial under Philip II. It is granite masonry with tile roofs and once had corner turrets.
