Our story
We believe the best stays are the ones you never forget.
OpenCasa was born from a simple frustration: too many rental platforms, too few properties worth staying in. We set out to fix that.

How it started
In 2019, our founder Sofia Reyes spent three weeks travelling through southern Italy, staying in a string of disappointing rentals that looked nothing like their photos. She came home and started keeping a private list of the places that actually delivered — the ones with character, care, and a host who genuinely wanted you there.
That list became OpenCasa. Today we work with a small, trusted network of property owners across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and beyond. Every property is visited in person before it goes live. If we wouldn't stay there ourselves, it doesn't make the cut.
We're not a marketplace. We're a curation service. Our team handles every enquiry personally, matches guests to properties that fit their trip, and stays available throughout the stay. No bots, no auto-replies, no surprises.
What we stand for
Curation over volume
We'd rather have 50 exceptional properties than 5,000 mediocre ones. Every listing earns its place.
Honesty in every detail
Photos are taken on the day of inspection. Descriptions are written by people who've been there. No stock images, no embellishments.
People, not platforms
Every enquiry is read and answered by a human. We match guests to properties ourselves — no algorithm decides your holiday.
Owners we trust
We build long-term relationships with property owners who share our standards. Guests and hosts both deserve to be treated well.
