Plan my holiday

  • "Our stay with Blanco Bungalow was spectacular. We stayed for 9 days and were bit afraid of committing for that long of a time but we really felt right at home the moment we arrived. Couldn’t recommend it more."

    Anny Arnardóttir & Heigar Logi - Reykjavík, Iceland

  • A truly beautiful and relaxing place to stay ! A warm and friendly greeting when we rocked up and a great tour of the amazing setup :) would absolutely stay again and recommend. Strader and the family made us feel at home from the off and we went on some stunning walks / runs in the surrounding area ! Thanks

    Joe Almond - Guilford, United Kingdom

  • "We had such a beautiful stay! Laura and her family are so friendly and hospitable. It’s a really relaxing place, not too far from town but very quiet. The space is really well designed. I stayed with my mum and sister and we would definitely love to come back!"

    Iona Reid - England, united kingdom

  • "Would highly recommend we really enjoyed our stay at casa corazon- there were so many homely and thoughtful details from the stacks of beautiful books, to the linen sheets, the glass water dispenser and the welcome pack on arrival. laura and strader couldn't do enough for us and we felt like friends staying in their home- our children also loved hanging out with coyote. i wish this beautiful family so much joy and success for the future and wouldn´t hesitate to recommend blanco bungalows as the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of portugal."

    Gemma Bowman - Ibiza, Spain

  • "Our family was so fortunate to have found this "home away from home". This property (with several different possibilities of rentals) is a TRUE GEM !! That the owners were the real deal and have done an amazing job in creating a serene and beautiful place to vacation. The doors open to a truly magical little slice of heaven. The hosts are welcoming and helpful, providing you the space & privacy you may want but also the camaraderie and genuineness to let them join you for a family style BBQ in a wonderful area next to the pool should you choose. Communication, great recommendations & cleanliness A+. I would love to go back and take over the whole area! Don't hesitate! BOOK IT!"

    Anna Krista - Montreal, Canada

  • "Laura is a great host. The location is exactly as described in the profile. The location brings peace and relax into your time off."

    MICHEL Bibel - Poznan, Poland

  • "blanco bungalow has absolutely everything you want and need on your holiday. the location is perfect; only a short stroll from the most beautiful beaches and a quick drive to ericeira and peniche. the place itself has been completely renovated and feels fresh and new. i loved that they honoured the farmhouse soul and heritage whilst prioritising comfort. the property is quite big, it has a huge pool and the adega is the best place to chill, grill, read a book or play a game. the views are insane and last but definitely not least, laura & strader are the best hosts; super sweet & helpful and always up for a chat & giggle. you guys are living the dream and we're so grateful to have been a little part of that during our stay. we'll be back, especially now you're getting ponies :-) :-) !!!"

    Troy Kurtz - MIAMI, FLORIDA

  • "Surfers Paradise My mate and i stayed in the baja casita on our last surf trip. best spot ever, we ended up staying for two weeks because it was so nice. it's in the best location where we could easily head out for the day to surf peniche, coxos, ericeira and nazare, and be back for dinner. we also drove into lisbon a few times, super quick and nice to pop in and out and end the day with the sunset at the beach. strader and laura were lovely hosts. i'd stay there for a month next time!"

    jake Neil - byron bay, Australia

  • We have really enjoyed our stay as a couple at this beautiful Bungalow and felt right at home from the start. Strader's were very friendly, hospitable, and proactive in communication. The place itself is set in beautiful surroundings and the peaceful nature of Assenta. It is truly set apart by the great design and aesthetic of the space, very stylish rooms, and decor in combination with all the necessities that one needs in a place. In addition to the apartment, we have enjoyed the use of a common area with a swimming pool, lots of outside space, a common kitchen, and a common area with a variety of games, books, and a fireplace. We have truly felt at home and enjoyed this beautiful casita and looking forward to coming back for another stay :)

    Lyubov Zhulavska - Salou, Spain

  • My friend and I enjoyed staying at the Farm so so much. It's grande, the rooms are spacious, the surroundings are very quiet and the rooms have a lovely boho finish. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and rooms were well equipped. The ponies were so cute. Definitely recommend staying with Laura and Strader - they made us feel so welcomed!

we moved to portugal in 2022 from Los Angeles, california, and bought our farm in January 2024. when we left Los Angeles, our dream was to find a little farm by the sea, surf, raise our son and some horses and animals, and learn to farm. since getting the keys, we’ve been renovating and restoring the property piece by piece, and adding layer by layer. we are so happy to welcome you to our farm and our life here on the coast of portugal.
