El Olivar, San Martín De Valdeiglesias

El Olivar is a quiet holiday home in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Spain, set on Calle Parra at number 17, making it easy to settle into a slower rhythm away from the busier Madrid pull. The Japanese garden and terrace are the kind of spaces guests talk about when they describe their stay as restful, and the outdoor dining area lets you eat outside when the weather suits you. Inside, the layout is practical for everyday living, with two bedrooms and a kitchenette for simple breakfasts or light meals. A non-smoking environment and non-smoking rooms help keep the atmosphere calm, while self parking is available for those arriving by car, with offsite parking also offered at discounted rates.

Recent guests gave El Olivar a 10/10 score based on three reviews, and that small but strong feedback points to consistency: travellers seem to value the peaceful setting and the way the property supports both downtime and short day trips. One common theme is that the terrace and garden make the stay feel more like a home base than a stopover.

If you’re planning days out, Castillo de la Coracera is about 2 km away for a quick historical detour, and Embalse de San Juan is roughly 10 km for lakeside scenery and countryside walks. For a bigger outing, El Escorial Monastery is around 45 km, giving you a full cultural day when you want something iconic. El Olivar is best for couples and small families who want a non-smoking, garden-and-terrace stay with easy access to nearby landmarks and nature.
