Our house is attached, 270 sqm., in an urban development in the Sierra de Guadarrama, a beautiful low mountain area (1.100 m. high), on the verge of the National Park, with very pleasant temperatures over Summer time. It offers all commodities, including electronic piano, stationary bike and elliptical trainer. On the ground floor there is a comfortable living/diningroom with fireplace, tv set, and DVD. There is also an outside terrace where we use to have our meals and watch the sunset, and from there an access to a small landscaped garden with young trees. Also in the same floor we have a small restroom and the kitchen. Direct access to the garden is also possible from a cosy studio in the basement, which is ready for accomodation if needed be. On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, one with a double bed and separate bathroom, one with a double bed, one with two single beds. A fourth room is used as a studio. There is a second complete bathroom. On top we have a large penthouse with one more double bed.

Our Neighbourhood

Nearest Airport: Adolfo Suárez Madrid Barajas - 64 kms

  • mountains Sierra de Guadarrama (0.7 km)
  • forest Valle de la Fuenfría (3.5 km)

NATIONAL PARK MOUNTAINS 50 KMS. FROM MADRID DOWNTOWN
Our neighbourhood is a very calm and silent environment on the verge of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, some 2 kms. away from Los Molinos (3.000 inhabitants). It is a nice walk from our house but a car is advisable if you need to load with some shopping bags.            
The name of our neighbourhood, “El Balcón de la Peñota” (The Peñota’s Balcony) accounts for its position on the slopes of Mount La Peñota (ca. 2.000 m high). Behind it is the Valle de la Fuenfría, a mountainous area covered by pinetree forests which allows wonderful horseriding, jogging or simply walking excursions along signposted routes. You can enjoy a swim in a natural swimming pool there. In wintertime there is a ski station on the upper ramparts (Navacerrada).                 
In a half hour/one hour drive there is plenty of tourist attractions (Madrid, the royal palaces of El Escorial and La Granja, medieval towns as Segovia and Ávila), gorgeous traditional restaurants and all sorts of activities (from biking to canoing). Communications with downtown Madrid are varied and fast: frequent trains and buses, an easy access to the speedway. From there, the Spanish motorway network allows an average 4 hours drive to any seaside destination.
