Turismo Rural y Eventos Encinar de Escardiel
About
Encinar de Escardiel is a rural tourism and events estate located in Castilblanco de los Arroyos, a municipality within the Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park, in Andalusia. The property takes its name from the oak woodland that surrounds it — encinas, holm oaks endemic to this northern Sevillian massif, which screen the site from any visible development. The establishment combines guest room accommodation with dedicated infrastructure for group events, with a documented capacity of up to 80 people for celebrations, corporate seminars, or group weekends. The shared outdoor spaces sit within gently rolling wooded grounds, approximately one hour's drive from Seville. The village of Castilblanco de los Arroyos is a short distance from the estate. The facilities include communal dining areas and spaces suited to outdoor activities, consistent with the venue's dual accommodation-and-events purpose. The immediate surroundings — dense holm oak vegetation, the rolling sierra landscape, absence of urban noise — represent the estate's main draw for groups seeking an Andalusian natural setting without a long journey from Seville. A Google rating of 4.7/5 across 49 reviews reflects overall satisfaction for group weekend stays, though several reviews flag difficulties with organisational coordination when planning large-scale events, particularly for requests requiring follow-up over several weeks.

Great place for a group weekend getaway.
The organization is appalling. After speaking twice in the same week with Antonio, the manager, to organize a weekend event for 80 people, and even visiting the facilities in person, we were told the same day that the weekend was already booked for a smaller group. The venue is wonderful, but the management and coordination among those handling reservations is terrible. Thanks for your lack of professionalism; we'll have to find another venue for our celebration.
Unfortunately, I was able to contact other farm schools and venues to hold the event I wanted, and months later, due to the lack of professionalism of the person managing this site... I felt it necessary to leave this review so that they require everything in writing because they are not reliable.
We stayed from Friday to Sunday with a group of 53 people, including family and friends. The younger ones stayed in the large rooms with bunk beds, which meant they all had a wonderful time together, coming and going freely and safely (the youngest was 8 years old). We opted for full board so that everything would be well organized and we wouldn't have to worry about a thing (congratulations to the kitchen team!). They made us feel right at home and were incredibly attentive, giving us flexibility with everything we asked for (congratulations to the team too!). It's nature, but with all the comfort and cleanliness you could want. Everyone in my family left very happy.
Fantastic facilities for a weekend campsite, with everything you need for a comfortable stay and plenty of hiking trails nearby. The village is accessible by car or a long walk.
