“PUEBLA DE LA SIERRA, pueblo ecléctico con mucho por descubrir y disfrutar, cerca de Madrid.”

The hosts were wonderful, giving us all sorts of tips and help to get to the village and explaining the local services. The house is very pretty, charming, well equipped, very clean, with very comfortable beds and great heating. The village has one casual, homemade‑style restaurant that’s delicious; it’s better to book on weekends because it gets full. Go to the information centre where Guillermo will give you a free guided tour of the village’s picturesque spots—like the forge, the church, and the Japanese art museum—once you book in advance; he explains everything very well. The Dream Trail is another attraction to visit in this beautiful village, as well as the hike along the SENDA DE LOS ROBLES CENTENARIOS. The only thing that surprised us was that we had to pick up the keys in another town, Montejo de la Sierra; nowadays they’d probably use a keypad lock box at the house, but that’s how we met Belén’s mother, the host, which was another charm. For a note, the upper part of the fridge could use shelves for pantry storage; there isn’t much space to leave groceries. Everything else was great.

“Nada recomendable”

The house is well-located, but that's about where the positives end. We were misled by the ad - the fireplace is actually a pellet stove that costs extra, and the pellets aren't included. The BBQ was out of use due to Madrid community regulations, but that wasn't mentioned either, and it's not even on the property.

This place has its perks - it's clean, the beds are comfy, and it's in a beautiful area of Puebla. But there are some downsides. The sofa bed was a letdown, with a really old mattress that's not very comfortable. The kitchen is also pretty cramped, with a tiny fridge that's fine for a weekend but wouldn't cut it for a longer stay or a big group.
