Ventosilla is one of the most famous and prestigious hunting estates in Spain. The great grandfather of the current owners - the Duke of Santoña - was the first to organise driven partridge shooting here in 1880. His son, the Count of Teba, continued to hold shoots in the same grand style - a legacy which the family continue today.
This rich heritage and the unique setting of the estate provides a backdrop that guarantees an unforgettable shooting experience. The estate lies in a hilly, almost mountainous area, covered with indigenous vegetation apart from the occasional game crop – ideal for red-legged partridge. So great is the variety of the landscape and habitat from the marshy borders of Lake Castrejon with its numerous waterfowl, to the rugged Toledo Mountains, that the range of drives with in the estates boundaries is unlimited, with both high and traditional drives available.
Accommodation is available in Ventosilla Palace itself. The palace was built in the 17th century as a hunting pavilion for the wealthy and powerful cardinals of Toledo. It has been subsequently enlarged and improved by succeeding generations of the Teba family. The gardens were designed by French landscape designer Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier and remain in their original form.
Shooting at Ventosilla is available through the Ian Coley Sporting Agency, with the season beginning in October.
