Nice touches like a bottle of wine and some milk to welcome us. Location was good near to Las Navas Del Marques which has plenty of shops and half an hour from places like Avila and El Escorial. We also visited Segovia, Salamanca and Toledo. The villa is in a private residential area. So it’s quiet and very safe. Very good instructions provided about the villa and local area.

Jun 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Home outside of Madrid This is a beautiful home in a very private neighborhood. The photos do not do this home justice; it is much more elegant, clean, and well-situated than a picture can capture. I will say you do need a car. While there are advantages to staying outside of Madrid (about 1.15 hours) for access to the nearby supermarket and restaurants, one needs a vehicle despite the short distance. There is no other way to get to this town with the restaurants and supermarkets without a vehicle. Regarding access to Madrid and other nearby locations, there is a train station about a kilometer from the home, which is a lovely walk and easy access to Madrid; however, if you are traveling with luggage, the walk to the train is not convenient. Nonetheless, if you do not plan to carry luggage, the walk is nice, and the train is a convenient way to access Madrid without dealing with traffic. Finally, the property caretaker, Esteban, was absolutely a delight. He made every effort to make our stay comfortable and assisted us with all requests. Of all the times we rented a VRBO home, we have not had this level of service. If you are Looking for a quiet stay in a beautiful area with nearby historical sites, this is the place for you. ¡Muchas gracias, Esteban por su atención y asistencia! ##### Viviana L.

We had a very relaxing and quiet stay at this beautiful house. It was located in a gated community, and was very peaceful and quiet, yet with easy access to the local attractions. The owner, Viveca, was very friendly and helpful and always responded quickly to any enquiries we had. This place would be ideal for a couple, or a family wanting a relaxing and quiet getaway. Keith and Glenda, Australia. ##### KEITH W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth S. Jan 5, 2019 #### Roomy, confortable house perfect for family My husband, his brother, me and my two young children spent the week of New Year’s at The Red House. Viveca and the team were fabulous from guiding us around and orienting us to the house upon our arrival to quickly answering all of our questions during our stay and making check-out a breeze. The kitchen is better outfitted than any I’ve seen at a vacation rental property and the spaces around the house encourage both family togetherness (we played many games in front of the fire on the low table) and quiet time (my brother in law enjoyed reading on the sofa upstairs). Location was great for day trips to Segovia and Avila. The local town has a lovely grocery, supermarket, and assorted bakeries and cafés. Be warned that many of the roads in and out of the area are through hilly, mountainous terrain, so if twists and turns aren’t your thing, keep that in mind—the locals easily passed by us and no one was discourteous, but a few of the tighter turns were nerve wracking and we tried to avoid driving at night. The train station is very close and easy to get to, although we didn’t use it to get into Madrid, but that could be a way to avoid driving for those who want to. The neighborhood is essentially a gated subdivision and the houses are set far apart from one another providing privacy and quiet. We really felt like we had our own little estate. All of the information that Viveca provided about local shopping and dining was spot on and we had no issues finding food, etc. Of course, opening hours vary especially during holidays, so it is always best to check. Overall, a great property and highly recommended. ##### Elizabeth S. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Els M. Nov 2, 2018 #### Een prachtige vrijstaande villa, gelegen in een mooi bos in de nabijheid van een dorp. We verbleven met 3 stellen een lang weekend (5 dagen) in de mooie villa in de maand oktober. Helaas zat het weer niet mee en konden we helaas niet genieten van het schitterende terras van de woning. We hebben de oude stad van Madrid bezocht (ruim een uur rijden). Hierbij het advies van Viveca opgevolgd bij het vinden van een parkeerplaats, hetgeen probleemloos is verlopen in de directe nabijheid van de vele bezienswaardigheden. Dichtbij gelegen was ook het prachtige kloostercomplex El Escorial, dat toevallig vanwege de feestdag in Spanje die dag gratis toegankelijk was. Ook prachtig om te bezoeken zijn de bezienswaardige plaatsen Avila en Segovia. De zeer ruime villa was een prachtige plek om ’s avonds terug te keren, was zeer compleet en van alle comfort voorzien. Top!!! ##### Els M. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 29, 2018 #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca B. Sep 10, 2018 #### Idyllic retreat Our stay here was fantastic from start to finish. The forest setting is beautiful and so peaceful. The house and its gardens are amazing and fabulously spacious for our group of 5. We were brilliantly looked after both before and during our stay by Viveca and Esteban. It just felt like an enormous privilege to spend a week in such a perfect place! Highly recommended! ##### Rebecca B.
