The accommodation is a newly built house, made with ecological materials for the most part and furnished and decorated with love to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. The little house is inside our garden, but it is totally independent. The plot has direct views of the Guadarrama National Park and is a very quiet place, of spectacular beauty.

The accommodation consists of a ground floor with a living / dining room with kitchen and a bathroom, and upstairs a dormer bedroom with a double bed. This room measures, at its highest part, 1.66 meters, so be careful if you make the tiger jump ... Instead, where the sofa bed, in the living room, there is no problem, on the contrary, the ceiling is high.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need (ceramic hob, fridge with freezer, microwave, pans, casseroles, toaster, mixer ...) and there is always some coffee, infusions, organic honey, panela, oil, vinegar, salt .. .
