Stunning! Well done! To me, the must remarkable part is your commitment, patient and vision of what could be. Looking at the old videos, the repairs the home needed would make you feel complete overwhelmed and yet you stay put to the end and to enjoy the results, which compares with your bodybuilding journey. Congratulations indeed!
Ah, my island. My family island of Madeira. That is my dream, to retire back home and have a project like this. What a beautiful story. Enjoy paradise ❤
What a breath taking transformation. Credit to the builders on great workmanship. This home was always worth renovating because of its views and position. Enjoy.
Hi guy's, Sean & Lynda here, we met you both a few weeks ago while we were out with our friends D&M in Funchal. Wow, what a truly amazing home you have made for yourselves! It took lots of hard work and dedication, but you got what you deserved in the end. Enjoy!!
Hi Sean & Lynda! Yes we remember you well, good to meet you both! Thanks for watching and your kind words 💚 wishing you all the best with your house project 👌🏼
What a journey! You definitely gave life to this beautiful house and transformed keeping the character and made it more functional. The materials are fantastic and specially the glass which clears up the beautiful views you have from any direction. Well worth all the effort and pacience to achieve perfection. I hope you have a great and happy retirement in my country. Much love ✌️☮️
Half way through the video. I thought to myself a home gym will make this house a dream home. Sure enough it was right there. Congratulations guys. Enjoy your retirement to the fullest.
Thank you for sharing your highs and lows. Madeira has my heart and feel so happy each time I visit, even though just for a few days at a time. Enjoy your forever home. ❤
Hello and thank you for watching and for your kind comment. It is interesting to hear you understand how we fell in love with this beautiful island. We are now enjoying having the time to relax and start living 💚
I keep coming back to this video and your beautiful property. What a monumentous overhaul renovation. Exquisitely done. Congratulations and may you have many many years of bliss in this home!
Amazing views that will lift your spirits every day. Well done on a great job. I did a similar oceanfront house and my only regret was using too much glass on the outside edges/balconies. I got tired of constantly cleaning a hundred feet of glass and, when the glass, eventually, fell victim to the ravages of the ocean spray, I replaced it with braided stainless steel wire. It didn't spoil the view. Enjoy life in a beautiful and lush environment!!
Wow! Absolutely amazing!! We love the way you mixed rustic and modern. It's truly a Madeiran dream home. We look forward to seeing you guys soon! Cheers! M&D😀
Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us, today I finally closed my deal and we got the keys of our property, back in October and start out adventure as well .
What a beautiful property! Very tastefully done. We've been following you since the beginning of your journey. My wife and I visited the island a few months ago, looking at properties (ruins and turn-keys, houses and apartments), getting our NIF's, opening a bank account, and exploring the wonders of Madeira. We drove past the house during our circumnavigation of the island. What a stunning setting. Very peaceful and quiet. You have greatly inspired us. I would be very interested in and appreciative of any recommendations you might be willing to share regarding professionals on the island. Congratulations!
Hi and thank you for joining us! It pleases us immensely to know we are inspiring you to follow your dreams. Please take a look in the description where I have added links to the professionals we have used to help us on our journey 😍
Lovely blend of traditional and modern, that respects the local architecture and yet is modern and liveable at same time. And all that basalt will make it last forever. Enjoy your castelo ;)
I paused the video at 19 minutes and 11 seconds in to say it goes without saying you two have great taste and did a beautiful job renovating your dream home , but i like your taste in music as well. That song that is playing is beautiful like the house and you 3. Bravo Bravo well done. Im dreaming big ,i pray to get something nearly as close to your dream !!! One day One day ❤ yeah someone has good taste in music the instrumental playing after that is blusey . Chefs kiss ! ❤
Amazing! Congrats! I was nearly everywhere (Teignmouth in Devon long ago included, to improve my Argentina English as a schoolboy in Hamburg). After becoming a widower in 2017 in Argentina, I resettled in Coimbra in December 2021. In November to December 2022 I broke my own records, I compared everything. Argentina (Buenos Aires and Tigre, soccer madness) > Nueva Palmira, Piriápolis for Xmas, Montevideo > São Paulo > Lisbon > Coimbra (to leave my stuff) > Porto > Madeira Airport to see the world-famous fireworks in Funchal. The following night in Achada de Gaula was for oblivion, but the 10 days that followed in Santa Cruz made me fall in love with Madeira, my dream. I went to Ponta do Sol, Ribeira Brava, Monte, etc. Every times I mingled with locals, I don't like touristy things, the fireworks were a bit like that. I was told that the north coast was cold, but I saw you had a banana tree. Banana trees don't like very low temperatures. For the start of 2024 I must explore the north coast, and in-between again Argentina. My EU passport makes everything easy. My dream is to live in Madeira in 2024 or 2025. Congratulations again!
Hello and thank you for watching and sharing your own dream. It sounds like you can make it happen! We know most people want to live in the South but we fell in love with the North coast from our first visit. We were lucky to buy our home in Ponta Delgada, a micro climate making it a little warmer for the North!
Hello! It is a great pleasure to watch this video! The transformation of this house is full of love and dedication! Exquisite refinement! Delicate luxury! Here's to you! Kind regards!
Amazing location and great renovation! Well done! I can only imagine how hard it was to source good contractors and get quality materials. Well done!!!
Deve desconhecer completamente a construção em Portugal e os bons materiais que temos! Desde azulejos,mármores e granitos até às madeiras! Pesquise um pouco sobre Portugal continental e ilhas e com certeza se surpreenderá! Existe de tudo e de boa qualidade, só é preciso dinheiro e bom gosto!
What a gorgeous home you renovated. Will you consider doing a video on your budget and how your experience was with the workers and those involved with your renovation project? We are on the lookout for our next home as well and have considered the Algarve. We want to do something similar to what you both did.
Gorgeous! You had a beautiful vision and followed throught to the glorious end result! Love your cat Leo too! First time viewer here and subscribed today.
Thank you so much! Editing this video made us appreciate how much we have achieved! 😀 We look forward to being able to share it with you both on your visit 😍
What a beautiful home and thanks for the inspiration 😮 We also live on an island in the north of germany and we have vacationed in Madeira before. Maybe we‘ll see each other there 😊…………We are happy for you, your videos where just great !!! Good luck wish you Christian & Kathi
Thank you for the feedback. We will be in Madeira from October 19th to November 2nd. Maybe we can meet in person over coffee! Even if our English isn't great, we'll understand each other somehow! Kind regards Kathi and Christian
Just stunning. A beautiful addition to Ponta Delgada😊. Well done to you both !The house would probably just end up abandoned and fall within itself like many other houses on the island . You saved and made a beautiful home . Wishing you Many years of beautiful days in Madeira 😊
Thanks to YT for recommending this to me. Just binge watched the whole series and subscribed. Really loved it! Thank you for sharing your journey. Your place is amazing. Thanks also for going into detail about so much - that is incredibly interesting. Please keep making the videos - now about your life in Madeira. Would love to see the different weather of each month for example, places you go and visit, food (vegan/vegetarian) etc etc!
Well done! So impressed with the change. I’m inspired by your journey and would like to do a similar project in Madeira ❤ look forward to seeing future episodes
Congratulations to you both! The house is amazing. Very nice to see you both so happy after that huge project. You are living the dream. Hope you enjoy it very much for years to come.
Amazing work, I saw this house on one of my trips back home, and you guys did an amazing job. It's beautiful, hope to be able to do the same one day. Well done, and wish you many years of happiness on your new home and our beautiful island of Madeira.
Hi guys, just came across your video, as I often search for similar videos of buying and renovations in Madeira for inspiration and ideas. I am actually from Madeira and living abroad but planning to move back and do something similar. Congratulations on the house and well done to both of you, looks amazing !!😀All the best to you both.
Thank you so much for watching! Editing this video made us appreciate how much we have achieved! We are delighted to have been able to use some of your talented artists music to use on this special video 😀
I'd consider myself very lucky to find this property. You're certainly visionaries, your efforts have paid off you have a ravishingly beautiful property, I can't find anything i don't like. Well done to you both. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. P.S Your cat is gorgeous. xx
Hello and thank you for your very kind words!! Leo says thank you too 🦁 Editing this video made us appreciate how much we have achieved and how lucky we are 😀
Absolutely exquisite! I’ve so enjoyed watching your channel. Ironically I was on Madeira when you bought your home. I hope to do the same thing you did.
this is so beautiful! i love the kitchen and everything it´s just stunning! My parents are from Madeira, but i´m extremely scared of highs and deep ocean blue.
Lovely transformation and having the vision to make this possible... Kudos! Place this home in California and the price tag would start around $7M - 12M. I want to be your neighbor 😉
Fantastic house and location, but you'll regret the glass railing on the sea, hell to clean. You definitely need some colorful art in the living room... but it's probably still a work in progress, let us see it again in a year. 😉
Hi Andrew and Rae. Checking in quite late because of our holiday in Madeira. Wow, what a stunning home. Well done. What’s next? The refurbishment of a weekend home somewhere on the island?😀😀Rui and family.
Congratulations Rae and Andrew. Your home is stunning. What a vision you both had. Could you update us too please on your Golden Visa journey. Is it now complete?
You must be very happy with the results after all the work and time taken. Can I just ask a quick question? How was your first winter on the island? You hear and read so many conflicting stories about the north of the island it would be good to hear first hand from someone actually living on the north. Regards,
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 please share your kitchen company u used to save money in Madeira. I am busy looking now to get my kitchen done and stay in budget. Thank u and enjoy paradise ✨️
Thank you!! Our builders arranged the kitchen for us so we don’t have any contact details. I think they key is to go to a carpenter rather than a kitchen shop 👌🏼
I am from Madeira Island-Funchal...and never lived there. My parents decided to go to Brazil when I was only 3 months baby!. I went to visit my island (place of birth) for the firts time when I was 30 years old. To live there is my biggest dream. I grew up in love for Madeira!. What is funny is....I live in the UK (the place you are from) 🥰. I've been living here since 2006 ...(almost 18 years). I am truly happy for you guys Madeira is so beuatiful!. For me...the moost beautiful place in the world. U would love to know what Area is that....as I didn't recognize. When I saw the big mountain on the efy side...I thought itt was the Garajau. But after It was clear to me that wasn't. I wish you both all the best!. Congratulations!. Tell me (if you feel comfortable too do so) what area is that? If not I will totally understand! GOD bless your new stunning house. Simply amazing! ✿•♡•✿ (*•.♡.•*´) ✿•♡•✿
Huge well done. This is the dream in the dream destination. Stunning. Out of interest do you own the land below? Much could also be achieved down there.
Hello and thank you for your very kind comments! The land in front of us is where some of the locals grow vegetables. We actually chose not to have land after looking after a big garden in England for many years. We do however benefit from the generosity of our neighbours when they have excess produce to share!
Fabulous work congrats. You don't mind me asking what price you originally paid for this house and what was the renovation cost by itself in us dollar. Thanks
This place turned out absolutely amazing! Kudo's to the extremely talented construction crew. You kids are so lucky. Congrats. P.s. Not sure if you ever divulged what you paid for the property or construction costs (none of my business). Just curious. Cheers.
Thank you! We are on the North coast! We knew from our first visit to Madeira we wanted to live in the North. You may enjoy this video “Buying a home in Madeira. How to find your dream home” th-cam.com/video/yy5nYYiQbnw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Watch this one… "Candid Talk: The REAL Costs of Buying and Renovating a House in Madeira." th-cam.com/video/viKW0NAf9Fw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D9tDzAmO12NH6nOi
We are talking about doing a cost video but not sure it’s of any help... Madeira property prices have shot up and UK prices gone down since we bought. We would be priced out of the market if we were trying to do this now.
The house looks fabulous...and that view is breathtaking. Well done to you both. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Andrew and Rae. Checking in quite late because of our holiday in Madeira. Wow, what a stunning home. Well done. What’s next? The refurbishment of a weekend home somewhere on the island?😀😀Rui and family.
Thanks! What’s next? To enjoy living here 💚 we couldn’t find anywhere better to live.

Thank you!!!

Your home is stunning. What a vision you both had.
Could you update us too please on your Golden Visa journey. Is it now complete?
Love it!!! I’m ready for a challenge. Keep an eye out for me.
Hey! Thank you for watching and we are so pleased you are inspired to take on your own project! The best time to start is now!
You must be very happy with the results after all the work and time taken. Can I just ask a quick question?
How was your first winter on the island? You hear and read so many conflicting stories about the north of the island it would be good to hear first hand from someone actually living on the north.

Huge well done. This is the dream in the dream destination. Stunning. Out of interest do you own the land below? Much could also be achieved down there.
Hello and thank you for your very kind comments! The land in front of us is where some of the locals grow vegetables. We actually chose not to have land after looking after a big garden in England for many years. We do however benefit from the generosity of our neighbours when they have excess produce to share!
Congratulations, the house looks superb. Where in Madeira is this house? The view is great.
Very impressed! ❤ Can I ask what brand dumbbells those are?
Fabulous work congrats. You don't mind me asking what price you originally paid for this house and what was the renovation cost by itself in us dollar. Thanks
Very nice transformation! You guys don’t have hard, and cold winters there?
This place turned out absolutely amazing! Kudo's to the extremely talented construction crew. You kids are so lucky. Congrats. P.s. Not sure if you ever divulged what you paid for the property or construction costs (none of my business). Just curious. Cheers.

Did you actually do the work? If so, congratulations. If you paid others to do it then congratulations to them for their fine work.
stunning view.. what was the cost of this project?
Loved and inspired but wish you had included costs. Would love to know if this is financially doable for us.
We are talking about doing a cost video but not sure it’s of any help... Madeira property prices have shot up and UK prices gone down since we bought. We would be priced out of the market if we were trying to do this now.
Is there any land other than what the house sits on? Can you walk to the beach? How much did it cost-property and renovations?
We bought a property there recently. Do you have any builders or building engineers that you feel you could recommend? :)
I was just thinking the same. Any recommendations???
