Tranquil and comfortable hideaway in the middle of a forest
The Red House was an amazing place to stay. Set in an incredible location within a peaceful fir forest, the accommodation was extremely spacious, with well appointed bedrooms, an enormous en-suite to main, and so many areas to sit and take your time, both inside and out.
We loved having breakfast outside in the mornings, listening to birdsong and watching the red squirrel, and the evenings were magical eating out in the fresh air. It was a great place to relax and recharge the batteries. Cuidad Ducale was a very pleasant place to walk or cycle through.
Plenty of interesting places to visit close by including Sergovia, Avila, Salamancar and the amazing monastery at El Escorial. You can reach Madrid by train from the local station which is five minutes drive away. Some great butchers and bakers in nearby Las Navas des Marques together with small supermarkets which stock most of your needs.
Viveca was always available at the end of the phone for advice, and we experienced a very warm welcome from Estaban with the aid of Google Translate and a great sense of humour.
Loved our stay and really miss the serenity and peace now we are at home, but we have some great memories! Thanks for sharing your magnificent home with us.
