Casa Basilico

After one month in Brazil with Casa Basilico, my heart is full, my belly as well, my liver is still recovering from countless caipirinhas.

Staying at Casa Basilico feels like being on a month-long school trip — but with adult money. Can you imagine? No? Then you’ll have to see it for yourself.

Waking up in a jungle chalet, working a little (or a lot — that’s up to you), rushing to the beach to watch turtles being released into the ocean, and ending the day making lasagna while snacking on homemade focaccia and sipping wine. All the while realizing that these random strangers you moved in with slowly but surely become close friends.

You’ll tick off things on your bucket list you didn’t even know were on it. And while the month flies by, it somehow still feels like you’ve spent several months in a picture-perfect bubble.

Thanks for everything, Juls and Fabio — you guys are amazing! 💛

I've done two trips with Basilico now and both have been unforgettable! Jules and Fabio are the most gracious, generous hosts and they know how to have a good time (and make proper focaccia, pasta, you name it.) Truly can't recommend them enough.

10/10 experience, so well organised, so much fun, so much love and I will be back for another month!

It’s really hard to put a Casa Basilico experience into words, because is so much more than just a ordinary coliving. It’s a whole journey you going through - with every day waiting surprises, gatherings and unforgettable moments & all while you follow your normal job.

I spent one and a half months in Brazil with them, and it was truly one of the most beautiful and life-changing experiences of my life. From the first day, Juls and Fabio been amazing hosts.

It felt like being part of a big family, where you always could organize things together, but at the same retreat if you needed your space. Highlight of Casa Basilico are of course the cooking nights - here you dive deep into Italian (but also other) cuisine! Its the perfect way to mingle and get to know each better.

On our days off and also on certain evenings Juls and Fabio organize events and activities - super easy you can just join and everything else is taking care of! That level of comfort and ease made this one of the most relaxing and still eventful experiences ever.

If you’re looking for more than just a boring coliving — if you’re looking for real connection & experiences — Casa Basilico is yours 🍝 obrigada guys, your amazing much love!

I did a chapter with them and definitely not my last one! Juls and Fabio will give their best for our experience organizing delicious dinners, planing a lot of activities, taking care of a LOT of things, not to mention the surprise weekend. I felt on a summer camp for 1 month, meeting amazing people and living my best life... and still working all day long! I totally recommend this coloving if you want more than just accommodation and a kitchen, it's a real experience and you will love every part of it. Thanks again, thanks to all the volunteers as well and see you soon!

One of the most memorable experiences. Exactly what I was looking for - meeting new people, great food, big adventure, just traveling the world. This is the kind of story you’ll tell your grandkids one day!

Thanks for making it happen, F&J.

Had an amazing month with Casa Basilico! Met some amazing people - truly unique and perfectly planned! Comes with the appropriate warning: Every other coliving will be boring after this!

Best coliving I ever did. Strong community and party vibes! Can’t wait to go again!

It was my first time trying coliving when I stayed at Casa Basilico in Morocco and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. I was so impressed that I’m already flying back soon for the next chapter in Brazil. If you’re looking for a place with an amazing community, great organization, lots of different activities, delicious food and an incredible energy, this is the spot. I absolutely loved it <3

Loved it!
Best coliving I’ve been so far! Miss you guys! See you soon!

I don’t do reviews very often, so I will briefly say - best coliving experience EVER ❤️

Many nomad friends had told me about casa basilico, and staying with them did not disappoint!! We had the best time in Morocco and I can’t wait to join them again in the future.

I joined 4 chapters in total and when I look back those were the months when I felt the most alive and happy ❤️ can’t wait to see what Juls and Fabio prepared for next year

This is my second Coliving experience. Comparing to the first one this one assuming having a lot of activity which is hard to avoid (group dynamics), which makes it hard to be lazy.
Would recomment for those people who wants fun everyday

Casa Basilico founders Juls & Fabio are responsible for my highlight months in the past several years. The effort and energy they put in this project is unmatched, making a choice to spend my limited allowed remote working days in Basilico chapters a priority.

Co-living is organized with a mix of German planning and Italian spontaneity, with the intention of creating memories for life and building meaningful connections.

Don't be intimidated by their foodie co-living mantra if your cooking skills are lacking - being social, joining all activities, and helping with the dishes goes a long way.

Proud to be part of the Basilico community from the get-go and can't recommend it enough to anyone who has the flexibility of working remotely.

Amazing people, delicious food and the best atmosphere you can find ❤️ guys, Fabio and Julia, will insure that you will enjoy every day with them having lots of fun, making new friends and colourful memories! Hope to see you soon again ☺️

Is carbonara your second name? 🍝 Are you a party animal? 🦁 Then this coliving is perfect for you. Juls & Fabio will make sure your stomach is always full and your calendar fully planned with amazing events! Work and travel.. that’s the spirit!

Great experiences in this coliving! Amazing people, food, sunsets, and infinite beautiful moments you will remember forever :)

Amazing people, fun things to do every day, foodie lovers, great conversations. Recommend it so that when you are 80 years old, you can show off with your kids and say you decided to live with a bunch of random people in a beautiful city, and ended up loving every single different personality you met.

Amazing

By far the best coliving experience I had was with Casa Basilico -every weekend is a different experience, full of surprises. I'll definitely be joining lots of times again in the future!

Best people 🙌🏻

If you're a digital nomad searching for a fantastic co-living experience, look no further than Casa Basilico! Absolutely loved my stay! The Casa Basilico team created a real sense of community - exactly what digital nomads crave. Reliable Wi-Fi kept my work flowing, and the whole experience felt like "life is good," as their slogan says! Highly recommend for any digital nomad seeking a fun and productive co-living experience.

Casa Basilico is THE spot where burrata dreams come true and friendships start. This coliving really sets the bar high. Thanks, Juls & Fabio, for creating a space where every moment feels like a taste of paradise. Can't wait for seconds 🤤🍝
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Making friends (who felt like family), eating homemade food, lots of activities to participate in, what's not to love?? One month with Basilico wasn't enough. I've done a few colivings in the past, but the genuine passion and care that the organizers, Fabio and Juls, brought to the experience set a new standard for all colivings in my opinion. Can't recommend enough!

It's listed as a tourist agency, it cannot be described with any word below incredible. Once you join, you become part of a family, living in incredible locations chosen by the organizers. From enjoying incredible and delicious food to participating in countless fun activities like dancing, sports, relax, and dinners, everything is carefully chosen with all participants, building memories for a lifetime and friendships across the world. Looking forward to the next chapters. <3

I came alone, I left with so many nomad friends that I can't wait to see around the world. It was the perfect balance of social time, focus time and meal time. I am sad as I don't think I will ever find a better coliving than this. Casa Basilico set a new standard. I Hope the rest of my life looks like my one month in Brasil with them.
Ciao

What is required: positivity, joy, enthusiasm, and an occasional rolling up of the sleeves for homemade lasagne, gnocchi or ravioli.

From across the globe we congregated in Pipa, Brazil for a few magical weeks. Trying to sum up the experience is impossible but here is my attempt:
- Watching the moon rise over a sand dune
- Enjoying fresh shucked oysters and cocktails at sunset
- Swimming with dolphins
- Late night dancing to reggaeton followed by after parties in the jacuzzi

Casa Basilico is your induction into a global network of traveling free spirits whose collective wisdom is unparalleled. I now know which hostel to check out in Trebinje, the best co-work in Oaxaca and what is a must do in Cusco.

Warning: Along with learning new dance moves you may never return to the 9-to-5 office life.

Genuine review from a genuine person, but I highly recommend it! Spent an incredible month organized by Casa Basilico, and the organization was so great I didn't even have to think of what to do. They took care of us, and made sure we were sorted. This is also a unique coliving space as the organizers are part of the group you socialize with every day.

One of the best co-livings I've ever been to. I made great connections there and shared amazing experiences—experiences that I will be talking about for years. Fabio and Juls really care about the community, and their priority is to make the experience unforgettable for every single person. I highly recommend Casa Basilico co-living, especially if you appreciate good food and want to make new friendships that will last for years.

I loved the month I spent with CB! The group was super tight-knit, we did tons of cool activities, and we absolutely stuffed our faces with homemade lasagna.

One of the best and most fun months of my life.

A really strong community of like minded people, mixed with amazing food and a lot of fun activities made this a month I'll never forget. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who's looking for a co-living where you make friends for life!

One time I went to a Selina and there was no basil. What gives? Casa Basílico has all the basil, so 10/10 for that. Selina, do better.

Casa Basílico also has two of the best community managers I’ve had at a Coliving space, ever. They make sure that you’re having the time of your life, but also that your needs are met. With Casa Basílico you will certainly make new friendship that can take you across the globe. You may even strengthen old friendships, because Casa Basílico alumni like to travel. All in all, an experience with this pop up coliving group is life well spent.

Best coliving I ever been! Juls & Fabio are the most amazing hosts, having everyday activities and the weekends with a lot of options for everyone.. And the food, god! Super worth it and ill repeat again for sure!

Best foodie coliving experiences ever! If you wanna drown in burrata and connect with amazing people, get in touch with these folks! And thank me later!

Best coliving experience i've ever had! Super social, but also enough privacy to get some work done. Been with them to Sardinia and we did many weekend trips, would recommend going if you are searching for new connections, adventure and a nice place to work from!

Juls and Fabio are the perfect hosts for an AMAZING month. Prepare for delicious food, fun activities, lots of jokes and new friends for a lifetime (oooohhhh...). Definitely coming back when they're in Europe again. Disclaimer: only for people who don't take life too seriously but with some parmezan cheese on top of it!

Casa Basilico is not like any other coliving out there! Fabio and Jules are incredible, they're great at bringing people together and really take the experience to the next level. The only downside is that other colivings sound pretty boring after this lol

100% recommend!

Amazing co-working and great hosts. Enjoyed the stay very much and if I could travel more with work would be there every month possible

Amazing experience with amazing people. Fabio and Juls will make sure you are building life long memories and putting a few extra kilos. I totally recommend ❤️

Fabio and Juls are both super caring and fun. They always did everything to make everyone feel comfortable and happy. Plus! The food! 🤩

If you are all about community, experiences, and having fun - Casa Basilico is a place to be
