    STORY
    Welcome to our latest adventure! In this episode, we take you deep into the heart of Portugal where we stumbled upon an amazing discovery - the forgotten house of the Pimentel family that dates back to the mid-1800s.
    For generations, this house has been in the same family, who were known for producing wine on a large scale for the whole region. They were considered simple, noble people and their legacy is apparent in every nook and cranny of the house. The traditional architecture and the vineyard that still stands to this day are a testament to their hard work and dedication to their craft.
    Since 1995, family members have been slowly moving out of the house, leaving it abandoned and forgotten. By the year 2000, only Maria, her daughter, and her husband remained. The family had a birthday party for the oldest tenant, Maria, who turned 99 years old. Unfortunately, Maria didn't live to see her 100th birthday, and when she passed away, the remaining family members moved out, leaving the house and all its valuable possessions behind, frozen in time.
    Walking through this house is like taking a step back in time. The walls, floors, and ceilings all have stories to tell, and the presence of the Pimentel family can still be felt wandering through the home.
    Join us on this adventure as we uncover the intriguing stories of the Pimentel family and discover the secrets hidden within this historic house. Don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel for more exciting adventures like this!

    It saddens me that this large family just abandoned this entire property, even sadder, they left family photos & heirlooms behind😢. I would love to have some heirlooms of my grandparents, great-grandparents and so forth.

    I'm always mystified why so many precious pictures and family treasures get left behind. I always feel so sad when I see them. Thankfully you show respect and treat their things like they are your own. Thank you for that!

    This was such a amazing video. My Grandfather lived to be over 99, my Grandmother was 95. He refused to pass away until his Jennie went first. He wasn’t going to leave her. This brought back so many memories. Thank you for all you do.

    This is an amazing home. The views are spectacular. The house was very well kept. The garden has beautiful blue hydrangeas. Such a great explore. In its glory days this mansion would be amazingly beautiful. It’s sad to watch it decay. Thank you Leslie and Danny for this wonderful video.

    Oh, they even had a little chapel. In the U.S. we call that square opening in the center of the house a courtyard. This place is amazing!

    I always think what a shame that all the beautiful furniture which could be restored, all the books,just sitting there wasting away. She had children and other family members I can’t understand why thry don’t want to restore it. If it was in one of our family property we wouldn’t hesitate to restore all the buildings. Very interesting video and such a change from all the French chateaus

    Such a wonderful Portuguese mansion! I love the family pictures and the precious antiques; the living room looks amazing with so many items in still a good condition and the chapel is really impressive! The traditional suit looks great on you, Lesley!

    I can’t believe the furniture would be abandoned along with so many other things. It just seems like such a waste. It hurts my heart. I’ll never understand why people do that. I know there’s many reasons, but I would think something could be done with them. I would love to be able to go back in time just for one day to see what it was like. Thank you so much for these videos.❤ from Wisconsin

    Огромная река, крутой обрыв, пейзаж великолепный. Крепкий дом, мебель красивая особенно буфет, лепнина на потолке красивая. Голубые гортензии красивые и часовня. Если сделать ремонт и привести в порядок территорию, то можно там жить. Жалко такой дом пропадает, в таком красивом месте. Спасибо за съёмки! С удовольствием посмотрела.

    Very Beautiful and what a lost heritage, no family who cares to continue what took a life time to create and maintain. The courtyard full of light blue hydrangea was over grown but was obviously a highlight of the vineyard home. Just spectacular ❤

    Love this one. Because, no vandalize in this historical house. To bad, it can't be brought to life again. Love how you are so gentle and respect you are. ❤

    The ceiling medallion in the main dining room is beautiful. I love the way this house is laid out. The views from the courtyard are fantastic, the house had so much personality. What a lovely place it was in its time.

    It's so adorable when you talk about the "paws" on the furniture and bathtubs. It's so cute!!!

    It is tragic the family is not taking care of this wonderful place.
