Stays & booking
One month. After that you extend month to month for as long as you like — plenty of people arrive for one month and stay for six.
No. The summer chapter is a fixed cohort with set start and end dates. Banana House is always-on — pick any month, arrive when you want, leave when you're ready. Same team, no cohort calendar.
You book through the Casa Basilico join flow — pick your room and month, pay securely online, and you're set. No deposit haggling or cash at the door.
Of course — a second person sharing your room on a full month is +€100/month. Tell us when you book so we set the room up for two.
What's included
Everything but your groceries: all bills (electricity, water, fast WiFi), weekly cleaning of your room and the shared spaces, and all cleaning supplies. From €997/month — no booking fees, no surprise extras.
Yes — fresh towels, blankets and bed sheets are all provided. Sheets are changed every two weeks, towels weekly. Just bring yourself.
Washing machine, yes. Dryer, no — and you won't miss it. The island climate and the balconies dry everything in a few sunny hours. 🌿
Yes. Fast fibre WiFi throughout the house and a desk in every room, plus the Digital Nomads Madeira coworking HQ a five-minute walk away if you want a change of scene.
Getting here & living here
Three easy ways: rent a car (handy for hikes and the free parking spot), grab a Bolt for around €35–40, or book Mr. Elso, our trusted private driver, on +351 963 674 092. It's about 30 minutes from the airport.
A light rain jacket (Madeira weather is moody and wonderful), proper hiking shoes for the levadas, a swimsuit for the sea, and one warm sweater for the evenings. The rest you can buy five minutes downhill.
Not to live — the beach, shops and coworking are a five-minute walk. But a car makes weekend hikes and chasing the island's sunshine much easier, and there's that famous free parking spot in town.
Every Wednesday. One long table, the whole house, far too much food. It's the heart of the place and the fastest way to go from new arrival to old friend. 🍝
Still wondering something?
We'd genuinely rather chat. Message us — or just pick your month and figure out the rest when you're here.
