  • "Our stay with Blanco Bungalow was spectacular. We stayed for 9 days and were bit afraid of committing for that long of a time but we really felt right at home the moment we arrived. Couldn’t recommend it more."

    Anny Arnardóttir & Heigar Logi - Reykjavík, Iceland

  • A truly beautiful and relaxing place to stay ! A warm and friendly greeting when we rocked up and a great tour of the amazing setup :) would absolutely stay again and recommend. Strader and the family made us feel at home from the off and we went on some stunning walks / runs in the surrounding area ! Thanks

    Joe Almond - Guilford, United Kingdom

  • "We had such a beautiful stay! Laura and her family are so friendly and hospitable. It’s a really relaxing place, not too far from town but very quiet. The space is really well designed. I stayed with my mum and sister and we would definitely love to come back!"

    Iona Reid - England, united kingdom

  • "Would highly recommend we really enjoyed our stay at casa corazon- there were so many homely and thoughtful details from the stacks of beautiful books, to the linen sheets, the glass water dispenser and the welcome pack on arrival. laura and strader couldn't do enough for us and we felt like friends staying in their home- our children also loved hanging out with coyote. i wish this beautiful family so much joy and success for the future and wouldn´t hesitate to recommend blanco bungalows as the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of portugal."

    Gemma Bowman - Ibiza, Spain

  • "Our family was so fortunate to have found this "home away from home". This property (with several different possibilities of rentals) is a TRUE GEM !! That the owners were the real deal and have done an amazing job in creating a serene and beautiful place to vacation. The doors open to a truly magical little slice of heaven. The hosts are welcoming and helpful, providing you the space & privacy you may want but also the camaraderie and genuineness to let them join you for a family style BBQ in a wonderful area next to the pool should you choose. Communication, great recommendations & cleanliness A+. I would love to go back and take over the whole area! Don't hesitate! BOOK IT!"

    Anna Krista - Montreal, Canada

  • "Laura is a great host. The location is exactly as described in the profile. The location brings peace and relax into your time off."

    MICHEL Bibel - Poznan, Poland

  • "blanco bungalow has absolutely everything you want and need on your holiday. the location is perfect; only a short stroll from the most beautiful beaches and a quick drive to ericeira and peniche. the place itself has been completely renovated and feels fresh and new. i loved that they honoured the farmhouse soul and heritage whilst prioritising comfort. the property is quite big, it has a huge pool and the adega is the best place to chill, grill, read a book or play a game. the views are insane and last but definitely not least, laura & strader are the best hosts; super sweet & helpful and always up for a chat & giggle. you guys are living the dream and we're so grateful to have been a little part of that during our stay. we'll be back, especially now you're getting ponies :-) :-) !!!"

    Carolein Moes - NETHERLANDS

  • "Already Planning my Next Stay Thank you laura & strader so much for your hospitality! best week ever, can't wait to come back for another incredible week of surf. already planning my next stay. Your place is magic."

    Troy Kurtz - MIAMI, FLORIDA

  • "Surfers Paradise My mate and i stayed in the baja casita on our last surf trip. best spot ever, we ended up staying for two weeks because it was so nice. it's in the best location where we could easily head out for the day to surf peniche, coxos, ericeira and nazare, and be back for dinner. we also drove into lisbon a few times, super quick and nice to pop in and out and end the day with the sunset at the beach. strader and laura were lovely hosts. i'd stay there for a month next time!"

    jake Neil - byron bay, Australia

  • We have really enjoyed our stay as a couple at this beautiful Bungalow and felt right at home from the start. Strader's were very friendly, hospitable, and proactive in communication. The place itself is set in beautiful surroundings and the peaceful nature of Assenta. It is truly set apart by the great design and aesthetic of the space, very stylish rooms, and decor in combination with all the necessities that one needs in a place. In addition to the apartment, we have enjoyed the use of a common area with a swimming pool, lots of outside space, a common kitchen, and a common area with a variety of games, books, and a fireplace. We have truly felt at home and enjoyed this beautiful casita and looking forward to coming back for another stay :)

    Lyubov Zhulavska - Salou, Spain

  • My friend and I enjoyed staying at the Farm so so much. It's grande, the rooms are spacious, the surroundings are very quiet and the rooms have a lovely boho finish. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and rooms were well equipped. The ponies were so cute. Definitely recommend staying with Laura and Strader - they made us feel so welcomed!

your hosts

we are Laura, strader & Coyote.

we moved to portugal in 2022, and bought our farm in January 2024. when we left Los Angeles, our dream was to find a little farm by the sea, where we could raise our son in nature, surf, be surrounded by animals. we are so happy to welcome you into our home and our life here on the coast of portugal.

F.A.Q.

  • We are located in a little fishing village 15 minutes north of Ericeira, and a 5 minute walk to the sea. We are 20 minutes from the Mafra Palace, 40 minutes from lisbon and peniche, and an hour away from sintra, obidos castle, nazarè, alcobaça and more. you can easily take day trips into Lisbon, up the coast to Nazare etc.

  • we’re about 45 minutes from Lisbon airport

  • We are in Portugal, there is so much to do and see. Stroll Ericeira, hike along the ocean cliffs, spend the day exploring world heritage sites, palaces, castles and monasteries, visit wineries and go wine tasting, mountain biking, enjoying incredible restaurants, day trips to lisbon, obis, intra, nazare.

  • while you could definitely get along without one, We always advise guests to rent a car. We live in a small seaside village, and while you can take Ubers, and walk to restaurants, butcher, coffee shop and the sea, there is so much more to explore within an hour of our ranch and would be much more convenient to do so with your own car.

  • yes, we are a 5 minute walk to the sea with a path down to a rocky beach with seafood restaurant and a small fishing village. at low tide, you can explore the tide pools. the closest sandy beach is a quick four minute drive.

  • Yes we have a few traditional Portuguese restaurants in our village you can walk to, and several more in neighboring villages. Ericeira and Santa Cruz restaurants are a quick 15 minute drive.

  • It all depends on you and what experience you are seeking. The off season can be quite lovely because it’s very quiet and you can do and see everything without any crowds. Surf is also exceptional in the winter. High Season is considered April - October, weather is amazing and sunny, the villages have festas all summer long. November and December are incredibly charming because it’s the holidays and villages are lit up with lights, there are Christmas markets and it’s magical.

  • The Surf is Incredible We are located in the World Surfing Reserve of Portugal. we are 10 minutes north of Ribeira Dílhas beach, 15 minutes north of the beaches of Ericeira, and 10 minutes south of Santa Cruz.

    we are 45 minutes south of Peniche and an hour south of Nazarè.

    The best Surf Season is Winter. Surf is amazing all year, but winter is when it really turns on.

    We can also book surf lessons for you, a surf guide, and you can rent boards and wetsuits.

  • Our Casas & casitas are self-catering. if you are a large group and have at least 12 guests, a private chef can be booked.

  • No, sorry we don´t.

  • You can walk to the market in our village, it has a fish counter and there is a butcher across the street. There is a slightly larger market in Barril 4 minutes away, and if you want a larger shop, Lidl, Intermarche and Pingo Dolce are 10 minutes north.
