Lovely Town House

Very nice property in the middle of Miraflores just a ten minute walk into town which has numerous bars and restaurants. Three good bedrooms, all en-suite. Great sitting out area which always had some shade, lovely pool with 6 sun loungers. Frank was brilliant, full of ideas of where to go and what to do, these were in Spanish in the house and he even had them translated into English for us to understand better. We also had a couple of very minor problems which he sorted immediately.

Frank is the most friendly and helpful owner you can wish for.

The accommodation is full of character and offers all the amenities and appliances you need to enjoy a fabulous holiday. The pool isn't heated but the salt water is great (you wouldn't know it is salt water) but no smell of chlorine and stinging eyes. The village has several bars and restaurants within 800 meters walk (up hill!), a good supermarket and several shops inc a superb fishmonger. There are some great trips over the mountains to historical sites incorporating some lovely scenery. Frank is just the best host you can wish for. 5 stars.

Outstanding stay

We stayed at Villa Carmen del Rosal for a week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It is an old building with the accommodation situated all on one floor. Three lovely bedrooms with high ceilings and well equipped bathrooms. The outside area is lovely with a great pool. The only observation is that the house does not get the early morning sun so bear that in mind if you sunworshippers. Frank was very friendly and accommodating. He greeted us with wine and chocolate and made us feel very welcome. Anyone visiting should bear in mind that there are friendly cats that pop round in case anyone has an allergy. Miraflores de la Sierra is a lovely town with great restaurants. It is within close walking distance. The local supermarket is excellent and opened really long hours. We highly recommend this place.

Cosy New Year's Weekend With Friends

After having spent two New Year's Eve in the Belgian Ardennes, I finally convinced my Dutch sister and her friends that Madrid's Sierra is at least as beautiful. So we booked Frank's casa rural with a typical Dutch touch of "gezelligheid"(=cosiness). We definitely had a blast, enjoying the chimney, the couch AND the wonderful surroundings, doing several hikes in all possible directions. Frank took care of the slightest detail! I can recommend this to EVERYONE that wants a weekend away from it all!

Wish we had more time

Great place to experience true Spanish living in luxury, and discover Madrid and surrounding area. Owner is an excellent host and best travel guide. I would follow his itinerary again. We were able to see Toledo Segovia El Escorial, Avilla and following owner's tips for the hidden gems in the region, the nature drive, medieval villages and monasteries. The best part was coming home to the Villa do some cooking along with wine. Our daughter adopted the neighborhood cat, and we all had had a great time. The villa had all the comforts of home, walking distance to all amenities in town to do shopping or dinning out. We would definitely visit again. More than enough for our family of four, easily suitable for 6 people.

About the host

Hosted by Frank Diephuis

With a passion for nature, mountain sports and restoring historic buildings, the purchase of Villa Carmen in Miraflores de la Sierra was a logical decision. It took two years to restore and decorate the house and obtain the appropriate permissions for opening it as a Casa Rural (Bed & Breakfast).
