We loved Frank and Marisol's house. It sits nestled in a quiet and intimate space along the Lozoya river just a short drive along a dirt road two minutes from the main ´carretera´. The only disruptions are the occasional cow or horse ambling by on their way to the river for a drink. The house itself is large and comfortable, with five upstairs bedrooms that are lovingly decorated and could easily be in a country hotel. The living area has a very well-stocked sunken kitchen and the sofa area was perfect for evening movie fests. Then there was the lovely garden area and large terrace where we had many dinners. The dipping pool is great for cooling off (it's filled from the river so it's cold) and you can walk a short way to the dammed portion of the river for serious swims. There is a lot to do nearby with hiking trails that leave from the property and just a short drive away you can kayak at the reservoir which we really loved or have a beer or a meal in the nearby village of Lozoya. Be sure to plan a day trip to Segovia, which is truly an incredible experience but there are also other pretty villages like Buitrago del Lozoya. Overall a fantastic experience and the house was the perfect base for a beautiful vacation!

The mill is in great condition, with recent implementation of heating adding to the comfort on colder March mornings. The location is unbeatable for a retreat with friends, and Frank Diephuis is nothing short of an excellent and very accomodating host.

We've been a group of 9 students, staying at the mill for a robotics workshop (first two weeks of September 2017) and did enjoy our stay from the first day to the last. The location offers plenty of space, so that 5..6 groups of 2 persons each could gather in and around the house, focus on their topics without disturbing the others. Cooking and recreation was also wonderful, some having a bath in the pool, swimming directly in the river, some going for a walk while discussing scientific topics, everybody eating together outside during the sunset... Frank (the owner) was very friendly and relaxed, the weather was all day sunny - what could you ask more for? Definitely a place you want to come back to!

I chose the Mill for me and my family (children aged, 9, 6 and 1) as it was just a short distance from Madrid where my husband had to spend a day attending meetings. The house looked interesting and promised to be quiet.... it more than lived up to its description. The house is fantastic and incredibly clean and so very homely and welcoming. We arrived at 1am and immediately felt right at home! The 'pool' and lake are incredibly cold but everyone managed a dip over the week. The house would benefit from a heated pool but as Lozoya (local village) has a very good pool this is not a huge problem. Our 9 year old son enjoyed fishing and with his 6 year old sister they had lots of adventures in the garden and around the house. The wildlife in and around the garden is fantastic. Big thanks to Frank for letting us stay in his beautiful Mill.
