All Along The Reservoir

All Along The Reservoir: Community of Madrid

Found near the San Juan Reservoir, this family-friendly villa is perfect for aquaphiles. There's an opportunity for swimming, kayaking and paddle surfing while the sun worshippers relax on one of two beaches only fifty meters away. Though the traditional furnishings of this colonial-style home might not be for everyone, the panoramic views from the terraces are bound to be. Enjoy alfresco meals or sunset drinks from the various seating areas outdoors. The barbecue is also a nice touch. And between the ping-pong table, pool table, soccer goal, swing and archery, there's plenty to keep the family entertained.
