tailored for intimate groups
This experience is designed for small groups, couples, or close friends wanting to share an unforgettable experience. Our accommodations include a 3-bedroom/2.5 bath casa, a 2-bedroom/1 bath casa, and a 1-bedroom/1 bath apartment—each offering privacy, comfort, and a home of your own during the week. The houses are all part of The blanco bungalow, a beautiful seaside ranch nestled on 2 acres just north of ericeira and walking distance to the sea.
We encourage you to rally your favorite people—your partner, your best friends, or your dream crew—and come together for a week of incredible meals, insanely good wine, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
To ensure everyone feels at home, you wont share a house with guests from another group, though we do require a minimum number of guests per house. If you're eager to join but can't fill a house on your own, please reach out—we’re happy to provide a custom rate for a more private stay.
