Our Story
We have a farm in Andalusia....
It started all with the question in September 2018: 'What are we going to do after our working life in Holland?' To cut a long story short: My partner Cees and I settled in 2019 in the Axarquia in Andalusia. Ellen wanted a B&B and Cees saw many beautiful dilapidated houses, that needed renovation. Casa Junius, as a small Holiday Retreat, was born and the renovation of Casa Maria followed. And there are future plans....
Our olive oil is pressed from our own organic olives. We have harvested our first almonds. We get wine from the region from our Spanish neighbors, who have their vineyard next to our house. We also sell South German- and Spanish wines, the better Cavas and excellent Sherry's from our cellars. Cosmetics from a small Spanish company, based on olive extract and completely organic, are sold by Ellen and often used in the apartments. And so we add things, when we think, it contributes to our lifestyle and happiness of our guests.

On the above picture you see the traditional way of harvesting olives with a stick, hitting the branches and a big net underneath the tree. The fruits fall into the net. The other picture shows filling the bottles with olive oil just after the pressing.
IMPORTANT: All shops are closed on Sunday in Spain.
The supermarkets are only open on Sundays in the summer.
