About this property

Beautiful romantic Watermill on waterfront in natural park, 40 min from Madrid.

Whether you choose to relax along the river, or explore the surrounding countryside and famous cultural & historic sites, this large 17th century watermill is perfect for families and large parties of people who want to stay in a beautiful setting with stunning views. The main door down stairs gives way to a spacious living and dining room with fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen with an original firewood stove and oven. A modern hob and electric oven are also available. Between the kitchen and the dining room, the original mechanism of the watermill can still be admired. The living room gives access to a beautiful terrace, garden and a natural pool. The 5 bedrooms upstairs, all with en suite bathroom, sleep up to 10 adults and 4 children. The children have their “own” sleeping space on on the attic floors of the 2 duplex rooms. On the first floor there is another living and dining room with fireplace and a small kitchen, the perfect place to hide during the colder winter months.


The water of the watermill is not treated. Perfect for saneiary use but for consumption we will leave you bottles of mineral water. Due to its special location, on the banks of the river in a nature reserve, the watermill is equipped with a sceptic tank with special green filters. We kindly request our guests not to throw the toilet paper in the toilets but use the waste buckets instead.

El molino tiene una ubicación perfecta sobre el río Lozoya en un entorno que invita a realizar grandes paseos. La casa es muy acogedora y conserva elementos curiosos de su pasado. Frank transmite su pasión por el molino a sus huéspedes. Gracias.

A beautiful and comfortable home surrounded by nature
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!

Una casa fantástica en un entorno natural incomparable
Estuvimos alojados durante casi dos semanas en navidades y estuvimos muy agusto. Un entorno fabuloso. La casa está conectada a caminos y senderos que conecta a los pueblos de alrededor. Perfecto si te llevas unas bicis y explorar, subirte el pico de Canencia o simplemente caminar junto al rio Lozoya. Un entorno natural sublime. La casa está diseñada “open plan” o espacio abierto y conectado en la planta baja. Cocina, comedor, salón todo en un solo espacio súper amplio y abierto. Las fotos no reflejan con exactitud lo espacioso que en realidad la casa es... tanto por dentro como por fuera. Todo un lujo con un cuarto de baño por habitación más baño común con bañera en planta baja. Ideal para bañar a los más peques. Una casa con mucho carácter y sencillez. El río bajaba muy fuerte en caudal después de unas semanas de fuertes lluvias y nieve por lo que la noche puede notarse un poco ruidosa (causada por el agua Del Río) Excelente comunicación con el dueño de la casa. Muy amable de carácter tranquilo y servicial. Nos lo pasamos fenomenal, pudimos comer varios días fuera en otra mesa del patio también para 14 personas, perfecto. Nos hizo buenísimo. Todo fue maravilloso. Muchísimas gracias Frank! Hasta otra!

Mucho más encanto que lo que te puedas imaginar
Realmente un sitio único, por la ubicación, la naturaleza que lo rodea, por el encanto del inmueble. Para repetir. Gracias Frank por tu amabilidad.

Why they chose this property

After searching for years in the Lozoya valley a house with charm, history and character, we finally found this old watermill. We always liked the Lozoya Valley for its unique natural beauty and its proximity to Madrid and very good communication with other cities of cultural and historical interest. The building was abandoned and in disrepair, but no doubt its prime location deserved all the work and effort that rehabilitation has cost us.

What makes this property unique

On the finca that gives access to Molino there are horses. On request we can arrange for groups of up to 10 people routes through the area at a very affordable price. The owner of the horses, at the appointed time, will pick you up at the Molino.
The mill is built on the banks of the Lozoya River, in the middle of a private fishing area. In season and with the requested permits our customers can enjoy the best trout fishing, at the doorstep.
The Molino is just a few meters away from an intersection of rural roads. Tracks which allow you to make wonderful routes . Mountain biking and hiking, these routes will guide you through the beautiful natural landscape with rivers, streams and Roman bridges. Natural habitat of many species of birds, the place is also perfect for ornithologists. Surrounded by water, you can see many aquatic and predatory birds. The kingfisher, ,the dipper Blackbird, Cormorant, Heron, Bittern, different species of ducks and the Iberian Imperial Eagle, black vulture, red-tailed kite ...and many other birds. The flora, especially in spring time is impressive too. In a few words, this is a unique property on a unique location.
