Villages around Caldas da Rainha

Stellen · #1 (**permalink**) 23rd March 2010, 12:33 PM

We are looking to buy a new build property in one of the villages close to Caldas. We hope to visit the properties in May but we are wondering if the villages are very similar or are there nicer villages than others? The places we will vist are Tornada, Torrre, Salir de Matos and a bit further away Pregança, Reguengo Pequeno. Any comments? Thanks.

Hi Stellen,
You need to get a feel for the area yourself. What I may like, you may not. Does your purchase have to be a new build? I have several contacts with homes for sale in this area and would be delighted to help you, if you like.

Hi Stellen,

Caldas da Rainha is very nice and we really like it. It has everything really and good shopping for the ladies. What I like about it most is that it is very people friendly and a large section of it is pedestrianized. The surrounding villages are all quite similar really. I don't know what you are looking for but personally I would not want to be any more than 10 km out from Caldas centro. Further out than this, would be just too quiet and boring for me.

Salir de Matos is nice and close to everything, including the coast. Some nice new builds in Salir de Matos also.

Thanks for the replies. We are looking at two new builds in Salir de Matos.

We are looking for a 3 bedroom place, datached with upto 2000 sqm land. We don't want a place that needs renovating. Ideally within a few kms of Salir de Matos. We are happy to view all offers!

Hi again Stellen,

It might be difficult to find a new one with 2000m of land. To get this amount of land people usually purchase a large plot and next build their house. I saw one though on casa sapo, detached and new in salir de Matos but only 1000m of land and listed for €210,000 that looks nice.

I was also interested in one in a place called Cabreiros, which is right next to Salir de Matos before I decided to buy nearer to the coast. This one though was a completely recovered house and looked like new. Also detached and on one level and it came with 2,700m of land and had a wonderful view at the back. The gardens front and back needed some work though. This one is listed for €152,000 but I know that they would accept €130,000. Anyway, good luck with your search.

Hi Stellen,
If you post a few more times I can send you a pm with some house details.

We have seen a couple of places on the internet with large plots but the houses need renovating or are not to our tastes for one reason or another. We now realise that the plots will almost certainly be under 1000 sqm and some new build plots in Salir de Matos are about 500 - 600 sqm. The properties look nice so we are going to view them. Once we quallify for PM status, we would be happy to receive house details from whoever!

Good luck with your search. We have recently bought a new build house in a village about a half hour car journey north from Caldas da Rainha and would be more than happy to recommend the young man who not only found this property for us, but was so helpful in liaising between ourselves and the builder. His office is in Caldas da Rainha. If you pm me I can give you his details

We have been in Sao Martinho in rental apartment for the past month, and intend to stay another month in an effort to find something we really like.
Thanks for any help,
