About this property

A magical house in the heart of Guadarrama Park

In the heart of the Guadarrama National Park, at an altitude of 1,400 meters, there is a beautiful stone house from the 19th century, with capacity for 12 people, completely restored within a private estate of 3 hectares of oak forest, holly trees , Valsain ash and pine trees and crossed by the Old River, full of pools, bridges and waterfalls where you can bathe and enjoy nature.

A house of 250 meters divided into two floors, fully equipped and with large windows that directly overlook the Old River.

On the top floor there are 3 exquisitely decorated suites, each with a different style: Suite Suite with a large 1.80 canopy bed and a 1.35 sofa bed, Castellana Suite with a 1.50 bed and Venetian Suite with a bed of 1.35 and an anteroom with sofa bed of 1.35.

Also on the top floor there are two full bathrooms: the Arab Bath and the Lilac Bath where you can contemplate the forest at sunset while enjoying yourself in a jacuzzi bathtub.

On the ground floor a large living room with stone walls from the same quarry of the circus monastery "La Virgen de la Sierra", open to a modern kitchen, fully equipped to prepare all kinds of delicacies, while contemplating the Old River. A fireplace chairs the main living room with a leather sofa and four armchairs to enjoy the fire. A dining table next to a large open window to a beautiful terrace integrated into the forest. A library room with plasma screen, Google Chromecast, Board games, Wii ....

In addition, the ground floor has the Hindu bedroom with a 1.40 bed and decorated with specially brought furniture. The Sancosmeiros bedroom, with a bed of 1.35 and decorated with original paintings and a spectacular bathroom with stone walls and glass ceiling with hydromassage shower.

In front of the house, 20 meters away there is a game cabin, table tennis, table football, darts and a collection of bicycles of all sizes.

La Mata del Fraile is an ideal refuge for disconnecting from the world, living a sensory experience, enjoying the silence, hiking, cycling, and visiting Segovia and its province.

Perfect stay with marvelous hosts

We had a terrific weekend at this gorgeous house in the woods. The location by the river, the variety of cookware, the high-quality linens, the freestanding game and vinyl rooms, the tasteful and cozy furniture... It all came together to make a truly special experience. Can't recommend this property highly enough.

Absolutely stunning; an incomparable experience

This was by far the nicest away-from-home stay I've experienced in my 14 years living in Spain. The photos are enticing, but the reality is amazing! The house is not just beautiful, but so comfortable, with close attention paid to all the details. We wanted for nothing while we were there. And the grounds, the immediate and unspoiled access to nature, are impossible to beat. Cristina and her husband were so warm and welcoming, we truly felt so lucky to be able to stay in such a magical place. We hope to return soon, for a longer stay!

Un fin de semana espectacular

Hemos pasado un fin de semana en familia estupendo, la casa es espectacular, acogedora, límpisima, llena de detalles, equipada al máximo, no tenemos ni media pega. Solemos hacer escapadas de vez en cuando y esta ha sido la mejor casa hasta el momento. Cristina y Santiago encantadores y muy cercanos. No solemos repetir por conocer sitios nuevos, pero con esta casa te lo planteas, ya se verá. ¡Gracias de parte de toda la familia!

Una experiencia inolvidable

Suscribo los comentarios que aparecen en la página web de otros clientes. La casa es preciosa, con mucho saber y encanto, dotada de todos los elementos necesarios para una estancia cómoda y confortable, incluyendo cantidad de juegos y entrenimiento para todas las edades y una estupenda chimenea con abundante leña. El entorno no puede ser más cautivador, un robledal y pinar preciosos, en una zona que permite paseos muy bonitos. Por la finca pasa un pequeño río (Arroyo de Sotosalbos) muy caudaloso en esta época (abril) al lado del cual los propietarios han instalado un cenador ideal para comer, dotado de corriente eléctrica para una parrilla u otros elementos. Los propietarios muy amables y serviciales. En definitiva, una experiencia inovidable que esperamos repetir.

Casa genial en medio del bosque

lo pasamos genial en esta parcela de robles alejada de todo. Se distribuye en habitaciones decoradas con gusto de antigüedades. Además, hay 2 casetas externas, una con juegos, ping pong y futbolín y dardos, y otra que podría ser una casita individual con cama, baño y microondas y la colección de vinilos del propietario, una joyita. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaremos.

Un precioso bosque para perderse

Celbramos en familia las bodas de oro de los abuelos y pasamos un fin de semana maravilloso. La finca es enorme y la casa está muy cuidada y llena de detalles. También tiene una cabaña de juegos y otra cabaña con un tocadiscos y vinilos para escuchar. El sitio es muy tranquilo y la propietaria nos atendió estupendamente. El monasterio que está enfrente es muy interesante y merece una visita.Totalmente recomendable.

Increíble

Es verdad que la casa es incluso mejor que en las fotos. A parte de ser preciosa, está muy cuidada, limpia y completa. La parcela en la que está situada es muy grande y te encuentras casi en mitad del bosque, ideal para desconectar unos días de la vida real. Además, en verano hace una temperatura estupenda (fresquito). Cristina y su marido han sido muy buenos anfitriones y, desde luego, repetiríamos sin dudarlo. ¡Muchas gracias!

Una casa espectacular en un paraje único

La casa es una maravilla. Las fotos, siendo buenas, se quedan cortas. Dispone de todas las comodidades, todo perfecto hasta el último detalle. La finca, de varias Has., se halla en medio de un precioso bosque de robles y pinos, y es atravesada por un río con una pequeña zona de baño. Los dueños son encantadores y muy atentos. Una experiencia inmejorable, esperamos poder repetir pronto
