Madeira, Portugal

Let us take you to Island called the Hawaii of Europe. Magical place where first Casa Basilico plate of pasta was made

What to expect?

Madeira is our second home. We picked a very special house in the heart of Ponta do Sol, where you will wake up to the sound of the ocean every single day. Madeira is well-know digital nomad hub, with a super active community. It's a place where you can see the sunrise from one of the most breathtaking spots. The nature will surprise you on every corner, and trust us it's a place you will want to come back to more than once.

FOOD

More Than Just Meals We cook at home almost every night and invite local friends and nomads to join. Food is just the excuse, the real thing is ending up at the table for hours with a glass of wine. And when we go out, we know exactly where to take you.

Carnival Month in Brazil

Experience Carnival Like a Local - with Casa Basilico

Our first month in Pipa, Brazil (Jan 16 – Feb 17, 2026) overlaps with Carnival, the most iconic celebration in the country. It’s more than a party - it’s music in the streets, colors everywhere, dancing at sunset, and a cultural immersion you’ll never forget. We’ve timed this Chapter to give you the best of Carnival, with all the ease and community of Casa Basilico.

Why Carnival Is a Big Deal

Carnival is Brazil’s most famous celebration - a vibrant mix of music, dance, and street life. While Rio gets the spotlight, Pipa offers a more intimate, authentic version with beach parties, local parades, and live music. You’ll be in the middle of it all, without the chaos of the big cities.

Your days will balance beach time, remote work, and group adventures. Nights? They’re full of music, samba beats, shared meals, and spontaneous dancing. We’ll host Casa-style dinners, join local parties, and maybe even catch a sunrise or two after dancing in the sand.
