Minutes from the historic city of Toledo and under an hour from Madrid, Cigarral de las Mercedes is an exceptional private estate and boutique hotel offering stunning views of Spain’s ancient capital, manicured gardens, versatile ceremony and reception spaces, and an exceptional array of in-house wedding services, including a world class culinary team. This five-hectare estate hosts multi-day luxury weddings that are both highly professional yet deeply authentic and natural.
About Cigarral de las Mercedes
Set amidst olive trees, lakeside lawns and views of Toledo’s skyline, this estate blends natural beauty with a genuine feel of understated luxury. At its heart lies a boutique hotel with 43 rooms and villas, a private lake, beauty centre, multiple outdoor jacuzzis, and a newly built gym. The estate is prized for its warm service, top-tier event coordination, and its personalised approach ensuring that no two weddings here are the same.
The hotel rooms range from stylish classics to garden retreats and private villas with jacuzzis and terraces. Thoughtfully designed amenities, from Natura Bissé products to soundproofing, create an indulgent home-away-from-home for you and your guests. On-site experiences include massages, yoga, and walking trails. For kids, there are playful splash pools and space to roam, while grown-ups will enjoy sunset aperitifs by the lake or the calm of the private terraces.
Ceremonies
El Cigarral is a property where ceremonies feel every bit as magical as the surroundings demand. Couples can choose to exchange vows in a variety of beautiful backdrops including the pine forest, the gazebo, the lake house, or the Hall of Light. Ceremonies can be symbolic or legal, and while you will need to bring your own officiant, every other detail, from music and floral design to bespoke seating and ceremony sound, is curated by the venue’s seasoned planning team.
On-the-day coordination is included, and the team works with couples to craft a ceremony that reflects their personalities, heritage, and values. There’s even a flower workshop onsite, giving couples the option to customise every floral detail in harmony with their vision.
Receptions & Celebrations
Following your ceremony, flow seamlessly into a relaxed cocktail hour or aperitivo on the terrace or lake lawn. Receptions here are known for their elegant transitions, from sunset drinks to gastronomic dinners and into lively, late-night celebrations. With capacity for up to 350 guests, the spaces can be adapted to both intimate and large-scale weddings.
Dinner is usually served outdoors in the warmer months, often followed by dancing under the stars. All lighting, sound, and DJ services are included in most packages, and the open bar can be extended for as long as you wish: there’s no curfew! Whether you’re planning a classic sit-down dinner, a celebration of local cuisine via food stations, or a mix of both, every event is tailored and executed to perfection.
Cigarral excels in a multi-day wedding setting, with welcome events, rehearsal dinners, and farewell brunches all easily arranged. Exclusive hire is available upon request (typically Sundays through Thursdays), giving couples uninterrupted access to the grounds.

Catering
Gastronomy is at the heart of the Cigarral experience. Led by esteemed chef Javier Medina, the on-site kitchen crafts contemporary Spanish cuisine that evolves with the seasons. Every dish, from cocktail canapés to main courses and desserts, is made from scratch using premium local produce. There’s even an on-site bakery for custom cakes and sweets.
Menus are highly personalised, and couples can collaborate directly with the chef as part of the planning process to build the dining experience of their dreams. From gourmet grazing tables and live cooking stations to refined multi-course banquets and rustic tapas spreads, there’s an option for every taste and celebration style.
The open bar is fully customisable, with options to extend service as long as you wish. Expect regional wines, Spanish vermouths, and craft cocktails, all served by a professional and friendly bar team who know how to keep a party going.
Multi-day weddings are elevated by the venue’s culinary flexibility. Welcome dinners, post-wedding brunches, poolside grazing, and regional wine pairings all become part of the extended celebration.
