We welcome you to Villa Caldara!
We’re Ella, Lucas, and Thomas — the proud owners of Villa Caldara and your hosts.
After spending many years living in the Netherlands, we made the exciting decision to emigrate to Portugal a few years ago. Since then, we’ve been working from our home office in Torres Vedras, located just 30 minutes from Villa Caldara.
Our mission
In 2024, we took the next big step and purchased Villa Caldara, named after the nearby city of Caldas da Rainha. Our goal? To create a place where families can make unforgettable memories that last a lifetime. We truly look forward to welcoming you! In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions — we’re here to help.
