Set in the heart of the Andalusian countryside, Cabalarte is a hacienda where a passion for horses, the art of hospitality and the relaxed southern way of life come together. A place designed to help you discover Andalusia from the inside, at the pace of the horses, through encounters and shared moments.
A hacienda to live in, not just to visit
At Finca Las Aguardienteras, in the countryside around Utrera, Cabalarte has created a house where guests come not only to stay, but also to take the time to enjoy life. Here, the rooms, the horses, the swimming pool, the meals and the outdoor spaces are all part of a single, unified experience.
Far removed from the impersonal conventions of a hotel, the house lives to the rhythm of its guests. It’s a place to gather after a ride, share a meal, chat over a coffee or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of the estate.
A simple, personal and deeply Andalusian form of hospitality.

Marion & Didier
Marion & Didier, the heart and soul of Cabalarte
Cabalarte is the story of Marion and Didier, brought together by their passion for horses, horse riding, Andalusia and the art of hospitality.
Didier was an international rider, a stablemaster at Chambord and a top-level vaulting competitor. A professional in the equestrian world, Marion specialises in dressage and also practises vaulting and archery on horseback.
Before founding Cabalarte, they staged equestrian shows at their former finca, sharing their passion through their work with horses and the relationship between rider and mount.
Today, they personally welcome their guests and introduce them to their world, their horses and the region they have chosen to call home.
A visit to Cabalarte is an opportunity to discover Andalusia alongside them.
The horse: the central theme of Cabalarte
In Andalusia, horse riding is not simply an activity. It is part of a culture, a history and a particular way of life.
At Cabalarte, it is at the heart of the experience. With the support of international riders, we offer a challenging and personalised riding experience, tailored to each individual’s level and expectations. But the experience goes beyond the riding session itself: living alongside the horses, observing, understanding and sharing in their daily lives is an integral part of the stay.
A different approach to riding: with time, precision and passion.
The Cabalarte approach prioritises the quality of support and a personalised experience. Each rider has their own level, experience and goals; the holiday is tailored to these individual circumstances rather than following a standardised programme.
Here, the horse reveals itself within its natural environment. Andalusia has a unique relationship with the equestrian world, evident in its traditions, its stud farms, its festivals and everyday life. Cabalarte offers a lively and natural way to explore these traditions.
The Cabalarte Way of Life
At Cabalarte, the moments that linger in the memory aren’t always the ones that were on the itinerary.
A horse ride in the morning light, a leisurely lunch, a shared paella, a few hours by the pool or an evening that drags on outdoors: your stay is also shaped by these little interludes.
We champion a simpler form of luxury: having time, space, attention and the freedom to enjoy yourself.
This is how Cabalarte is meant to be experienced – without over-staging the experience – with that warmth unique to homes where you quickly come to feel at home.
Andalusia: a blend of traditions and sweeping vistas
A stay in Cabalarte offers the chance to discover authentic Andalusia, nestled between Seville and the Utrera countryside, with its equestrian traditions, villages, cuisine and local festivals. It’s a more intimate way to travel, centred on meeting people, new experiences and the southern way of life.
⸱ Seville – its palaces, courtyards, markets, narrow streets and lively nightlife.
⸱ Utrera and its countryside – rural Andalusia, with its equestrian heritage and deep-rooted traditions.
⸱ El Rocío – a unique world where horses, Andalusian culture and the great outdoors come together.
⸱ Gastronomy – markets, tapas, local produce and shared meals are an integral part of the journey.
