Tom and Danielle van Leeuwen are the friendly and adventurous couple behind B&B Casa Rodriguillo.
By 2018, they realised their connection to Spain was too strong to ignore. They sold their house in the Netherlands, said goodbye to their homeland, and moved to Spain with their sweet Labradoodle, Donja. In 2020, they came across Casa Rodriguillo, a neglected old house, and saw its potential as a warm and sustainable place for guests to stay.
To make their dream happen, they launched a fundraising campaign. Friends and family supported them, believing in their vision. With that help, they bought the house and began renovating it with care, using sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems.
Since June 2023, Tom and Danielle have welcomed guests with open arms, offering comfort, sustainability, and warm hospitality at Casa Rodriguillo. It’s a peaceful retreat where visitors can unwind and enjoy their passion for making people feel at home.
OUR STORY
They grew up in the Netherlands, near Amsterdam, and have always loved travelling, while exploring Europe, they discovered their love for Spain. The sunny beaches, lively cities, and warm, welcoming people left a big impression on them. In 2014, they decided to buy a small holiday home in Spain. Over the years, it became their favourite getaway.

Donja
Our lovely dog, Donja, is a 12-year-old Australian Labradoodle known for her sweet nature and hypoallergenic coat. She doesn’t bark, doesn’t shed, and absolutely loves cuddles. Every morning, she greets our guests with a wagging tail, which is why we affectionately call her our "animation team."
