Casa Branca

Great quiet location, 10-15 mins from main town and coast/beaches.

Noise at night in the communal rooms / kitchen made it difficult to sleep one night.

The Host is super friendly and if you needed anything, he was there in <5mins. The house is beautiful, you can easily meet new people, connect, sit on the terrace together - highly recommended for solo travellers. Everything is clean. Next to the Supermarket, close to the city center.

We stayed in the apartment with a private bathroom, which had been recently renovated and was a great benefit. The room has older furniture, but it fits nicely with the overall character and vibe of the house. The shared kitchen is really spacious and well equipped, with two fridges and plenty of utensils, plates, and everything you might need. The host/owner also visited the property every day and made sure everything was kept nice and clean, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay!

Our room was located between the main entrance and the shared kitchen, which made it quite noisy, especially when other guests were using the kitchen or common areas. The doors are quite old and unfortunately not soundproof, so you could hear conversations and people coming in and out quite clearly. This is something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper. The house itself is really nice and has a lot of potential, but I think some areas could be better organized and maintained, especially the outdoor area, which looked a little neglected and abandoned during our stay.

Really good location: super close to the biggest supermarket and an easy walk to the centre. Lots of free parking options all round. The house looks really cool from the outside. Has a huge kitchen with everything that you could need. Nice induction hobs to boil tea quickly. Furniture in the room looked cool. The cleaners are friendly and the check-in guy too. They do their best to help.

The room had a mouldy/damp smell. Bed was creaky. If you took a shower in the morning, your towel wouldn't be dry until you came home in the evening. Probably an Ericeira problem, but having some heating would help. We had a room next to the kitchen and if other guests wouldn't close the second door, then you would get woken up by kitchen sounds in the morning. Was no shampoo or body soap in our ensuite shower.
