Beautiful home Josie!! You look very happy 😃 I hope I find something that nice when we move in the next couple of years. Can’t wait to watch your next video on financials. Xx
Hello Josie, you made us all jealous. Can't believe it is so clean with 3 kids that's something else. You look happy. Did you made friendships with the portuguese? The type of friendships you invite home for a lunch or party. All the best.
We are also looking in the Caldas area and interested in the private school. We are trying to figure out what communities to look in that are close to the school. Your house is inspiring, love the magical looking backyard too. You have great taste and your decorating is spot on.
It really depends on how much commuting time you are willing to do. Most parents choose anywhere from 5-15 minutes (one way). If you’re ok with a 15 minute commute, then that will give you the best options. Also, take into account if you want your children in any extracurricular activities because that will also mean more time in the car :)
Josie, Are you open to a paid phone call? Please send me a DM if so. We are booking a scouting trip to Caldas in the next month and I have lots of questions.
I grew tomatillos in France because you really couldn't get them there and will have them in my garden here in Portugal...When we move in soon!! I make salsa verde and slather it on everything...So good!
Congratulations on your new home! I love the layout, the kitchen is well designed, not too big for you to keep clean. The green space in the distance is just perfect for the eyes. You did well!
Josie, did you used to live in Herndon or NoVA vicinity? We just moved from Reston just before the pandemic. Taking off next year for a Portugal scouting trip! We want to check out the Caldes area.
Congrats, Josie for the house - beautiful. We also love the open concept and the big fridge - being in the States. Can you share the $ price so we can get an idea of what we can get for the $ there. Crazy how the prices went up so much the last couple of years in Portugal but in the silver coast I still consider one of the best values compared to Lisbon , Porto, Algarve and Cascais. We are moving there next year and uncertain whether we should take some furniture, rugs, etc. I think we may. Good quality Outdoor furniture seems to be difficult to find on Portugal from the research I have done… any stores you would recommend for furniture especially outdoor furniture - thank you. Stay well.
I will be reviewing our monthly cost (including our mortgage) in the next video :) Regarding furniture, you may want to measure your furniture before making that decision. Most homes here can be quite tight and based on the size of your current furniture, its possible that it won't fit. I have found prices here to be quite comparable to the prices in the states.
Love your house! Can’t wait to see your next video on price. I’m looking at buying a modern home in the Silver Coast, Sao Martinho do Porto/ Porto Salir, Nazare) area within the next year.
Hi Josie, congratulations for your beautiful house. Also thanks for share your experience buyng house in Portugal.. It's very helpfull. We also planing to move too. I have been wtachting your videos and I love Silver Coast. Can you telling us the furniture shipping cost??.We living in Galveston -TX . Thank you.
The fridges are small in Europe because people don’t eat as much frozen food as Americans… also people usually don’t buy in bulk so really no need of a bigger fridge even for bigger families.
I think it depends on the family. The previous owner (who is Portuguese) owned 2 fridges. A few other Portuguese people that I know own deep freezers. I think it just depends on the family.
Great house and believe me is a great investment because the price is rising like mad in Portugal. the country where the housing market really took off.
Congratulations on the house! I have a quick question about the Silver Coast. We're not exactly beach people, but we like warm weather (especially for the winter months), lush greenery, not too touristy, but not rundown or really small either. Are there any towns/cities in the Silver Coast like that? Thanks!
Hello from Brazil, we’re considering to go live in Caldas next year. A question: your house appears to be located around Nadadouro. So, is It easy to take kids to school in Caldas downtown every day? If i’m wrong, can u tell me about the distante from ur home to school? We went to Caldas on vacation last month, and we liked so much, we’re planning to go again in october to visit some schools. Tu very much! Nice house u have!
The company (My Way Design) that we used to buy our furniture also made the rugs. They can make it as big or small as you want and you can choose the thickness too
Hi Josie, lovely house.Do you work in Portugal?What are your income source ?Sorry it is a bit personal question but I need to ask as I am thinking to relocate to Portugal.
Beautiful home Josie!. It looks amazing. Light, modern and relaxing

@@SaraStoner1977 sure. Send me an email (in description box) and we can arrange a time

Haha, that was the recipe that I saw. Guess I need to research canning now :)
Lovely house! Congrats. Wood chips as mulch retains a lot more moisture in the soil. It really helps for my garden.
Thanks. I started using mulch chips just recently and I agree! Haven’t had to water it as often.
Congratulations on your new home! I love the layout, the kitchen is well designed, not too big for you to keep clean.

Beautiful house and furniture!
Love the kitchen and a number of your design ideas. You mentioned the stain remover with Dawn liquid. Do they sell Dawn in Portugal?
Dawn is called Fairy here in Portugal :)
@@josieinportugal6454Thank you!

Beautiful house! We’re renovating our house in Caldas too, where did you find such huge rugs? I’m finding it hard to get hold of them here! Thanks 😊
The company (My Way Design) that we used to buy our furniture also made the rugs. They can make it as big or small as you want and you can choose the thickness too
Are you planning to stay in Portugal passed the NHR period? I’m looking into NHR but I’m also thinking of the longer term stay.
More than likely, Portugal will be our home base. By then, my children should be off to college allowing us to travel for longer periods.
Nice house tour…so how many homes did you look at before buying this house?
Thanks! We had only seen about 3 homes here in the Caldas area before finding this one. After we toured it, we put an offer the next day.
How much rent u paid for a month ? For this house ? And this house is beautiful ❤
Curiosity how costly was the kitchen renovation? Was it difficult finding a good contractor?
