Banana House: Casa Basilico's year-round Madeira house
Banana House is a seven room coliving in Ponta do Sol on Madeira, run by Casa Basilico as the permanent counterpart to their dated pop-up chapters. The difference matters: there is no group calendar and no waiting for a chapter to start, just a one month minimum, every month.
What Banana House Does
- Seven rooms in one shared house. From around 997 to 1,327 euros a month, with a launch rate as low as 798.
- Everything in the price. Bills, fast wifi, linens, cleaning and community support included.
- 200 Mbps fibre with a real desk and chair in every room. Plus extra work areas.
- A huge kitchen with an ocean view. Which the operator describes as the heart of the house, in keeping with the Casa Basilico food-first model.
- Discounts for longer stays. 10 percent off two months, 20 percent off three or more.
Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Ponta do Sol is the sunniest spot on Madeira and the village where the island's Digital Nomad Village was based, so the community infrastructure is already there. Five minutes to the beach, with Cowork Ponta do Sol nearby and optional.
The always-on model is the practical advantage over pop-ups. You choose your month rather than fitting into someone else's cohort dates, which suits people whose plans move.
Casa Basilico's cooking culture carries over, which is the reason to pick this over a generic Madeira rental: long cooking nights and shared meals rather than a set of neighbours.
Pricing
From around 997 to 1,327 euros a month, bills included, with launch and seasonal rates from 798. One month minimum, 10 percent off two months and 20 percent off three.
The pop-up model's food and community, without waiting for a chapter to open.
