STORY
Join us on an exhilarating journey as we uncover the mysteries of a hidden gem nestled in the northern countryside of Portugal. With a tip from Danny's Portuguese friend, we stumbled upon a forgotten treasure: a captivating abandoned house tucked away in a quaint little town.
As we approached, the house stood silent, seemingly frozen in time, its windows devoid of light or movement. Our curiosity ignited, driving us to unravel the secrets concealed within its walls.
Venturing cautiously through the basement and ascending the creaky staircase, we were greeted by a sight that left us awestruck. A perfectly preserved traditional Portuguese house awaited us, as if its occupants had fled in haste, leaving behind their lives frozen in time.
Further investigation revealed that this was once the cherished home of the Celeste family, mysteriously abandoned in 2014, with no explanation or return in sight.
Prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure as we delve into the heart of this enigmatic mansion, transporting you to a world you never knew existed. Join us as we unravel the untold secrets of the Celeste family's abandoned abode. Don't miss out on this captivating exploration!

The small bedroom by the kitchen made me emotional - memories of my grandparents village house in Spain.

[@patriciamariemitchel]

I love the skylights. Can you give the timestamp of that bedroom off the kitchen?

[@NadiaNadia-qs7jy]

De donde de España?

[@lindatimmons3675]

It always makes me question what happened to them that made them just up and leave. Who or what are they running for their lives from? So many places abandoned that have everything left. Where are the children or do they have any that are still alive and around. As always , Leslie, and Danny , thank you so much for taking us along. ❤ From Texas 🇨🇱🤠

[@outonoinverno1144]

[@user-et2xc2ww6q]

I believe they were killed in a car accident .

[@ampavoo]

.....................YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE.............I LOVE THIS CHANNEL AND HAVE BEEN SUBSCRIBED FOR YEARS NOW..................DONE A LOT OF THIS MYSELF..........LOVE IT. MY HOME IS LIKE A TIME CAPSULE.......I AM SURROUNDED BY ANTIQUES AND ANCIENT THINGS. I'M 70 NOW.........AND HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH A SANCUARY THAT I SHARE.

[@user-eh7qm1lh4w]

I absolutely adore that tear drop chandelier. I enjoy traveling along with you guys on these adventures. Thanks a lot.

[@monicakoenig5921]

The teardrop chandelier was beautiful & elegant.

[@andrewmarvell4604]

The memorabilia in this house made me very emotional. I am not usually affected in this way, but this house and family were special.

[@heehaw8401]

Very interesting. The living areas look so clean considering it has been abandoned for 10 years. I Googled Maria Celeste of Portugal and a video came up with music and the woman looked like the younger woman in the framed picture. That key on black ribbon could be to the family mausoleum. Very curious.

[@janetpersons7647]

It does look like someone is coming by and cleaning.

[@ruthsaunders9507]

This was a lovely place. My mother got all excited when she saw the print of the little girls in front of the fire. She has the same print hanging in her bedroom.

[@hazybuffy]

Thank you, Lesley and Danny for another beautiful time capsule💜

[@SuperDD3392]

I am surprised ppl don't go in there and take the lovely furniture. It's a pity to let it rot away like that. Many ppl could probably use that stuff.

[@berthagreen1620]

I love your voice , you’re so good at telling stories. You tell such compelling stories. Always so interesting.

[@TheAien123]

Without Danny as a video grapher the entire video is nothingness.... appreciate both of u especially ur narration nd Danny’s work ❤❤

[@jenniferlemmon6808]

I met some really nice German medical students in Munich and they let me stay at their apartment so I could catch my train to the airport the next morning, they were so cool this was in the 90s, before the Euro. I made the mistake of taking a really long shower oh no but I love the accent and you guys remind me of good people! You have that country innocence and respect veiling intelligence,(not conceited or hyper-intellectual) just perfect! Great!

[@kimerlyvail]

I really enjoyed this beautiful house.all times left behind were beautiful. Thank you again. For the wonderful video.

[@user-ho4kj5vi6t]

I’m in love with that chandelier

[@user-cw5pm6jm5d]

What a fantastic find very low door ways nice big bedrooms never seen ceilings like that before the door in the kitchen with the door in the middle must be to keep a eye on the kids strange set up for the rooms in the house can't understand why they would leave the house with all their possessions behind its amazing to see how they used to live the way everything is set out

[@roxanepalmer8125]

Thank you for the tour, I really enjoyed to saw the beautiful capsule time always keep safe 😊

[@daisy8599]

Awesome place. Thanks for sharing stay safe guys

[@ramona_rami5643]

It was really exciting and interesting watching an exploration of a lovely Portuguese house,like this one! I love old Portuguese mansions, they are so unique in their design, furniture and family items ! People held their traditional and spiritual values so dear and turned their homes into sanctuaries of love, peace and coziness. Lesley is always a great observer while Danny a skillful cameraman. Together ,you do magic! Thank you,guys, for this wonderful journey into the past! ❤

[@25Sweetchocolate]

Thanks for another great video. I think something really bad happened, that's why everything was left behind. Lesley, I love your voice.😊

[@CristinaSilva-zy7ow]

Hello😂a minha avó tinha uma cama assim com o interrupção na cabeceira e ainda tenho um rosário ❤ igual a esse que 🏡 maravilhosa e nostálgica

[@janinaw6594]

Jestem zachwycona waszymi filmami sa bardzo ciekawe i fascynujace . Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Polski 😊

[@timtellers4584]

I think what you guys are calling the master bedroom is more likely a living room. The ceiling feels like a living room. I think they had multiple children and had to get creative with bedrooms.

[@billb5749]

Thanks for posting guys. You re the best!

[@nelsikochem1431]

Adoro seu vídeo abraço do Canoas RS BRASIL 🇧🇷

Que casa antiga. Uma relíquia de Portugal. Belíssima descoberta. Obrigada!

[@swarnamalieratnayake3671]

This place is so good looking even after 10 years in disuse. Thanks for showing.

[@TerriBlessed]

Thank you for sharing this neat and clean home🏡 Can't believe they left they family photos 😢

[@willyegger4488]

Hello hello, dear Lesley, I had to rewatch this video. Absolutely breathtaking explore in that abandoned Portuguese house. The climb in that rather derelict staircase from the cellar into the living aera really looked challenging. - I was actually nearly speechless when seeing the intact state of some of these beautifully furnished rooms. A legit timecapsule! - I loved listening to your as usual very intelligent conversations with Danny, whose camerawork was again absolutely excellent. I also loved the choice of the background music. - Amazing explore, wonderfully commented and very interesting to see! Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards.

[@loriyack4749]

Great place guys!! Thank for another adventure ❤

[@rogervoke5179]

[@robertladue7647]

That is a beautiful chandelier. 😊

[@user-yy7hg4ph6f]

Yes, I saw that and I totally agree....it's gorgeous! I find it hard not to covet, when I watch the "Bros of Decay" videos......so many gorgeous antiques..... so little time, and these beautiful things.....are just sitting there....😮‍💨

[@deniseuhlry9988]

This one is simplistically beautiful.I love those ceilings.

[@barbaragravely920]

Thank you Bros of Decay allowing me to walk next to you as you explore this beautiful large home . Wow im amazed to see how it looks inside gorgeus spelling. Thru your lens it looks like it could be lived in again. Yes looks like a fire has took some parts but still in grand time capsule. Love ya Guys take care stay safe. your friend Barbie NWP , FL

[@leeguthrie2283]

One of my favorites. Because when we leave this earth so cleanly...

[@Ponyup1457]

❤ Thank you both, so much❤ Beautiful work👍💫

[@rachelpiche7134]

What a fascinating humble home 🏡 Thank you for sharing your journey ❤

[@mamaluvify]

Hi 🎉🎉🎉lesly watching from Rockaway beach NYC❤😊😊

[@tigerlillybell75]

I get the feeling that the last family to live here were forced to flee, due to a storm coming through which may have caused an electrical fire. Basically, due to such storm and fire damage, the house was probably appraised by their insurance company as being a total loss. They may have meant to return at some point after the fire was put out, but took the insurance money and moved on with their lives. That is what I think happened. You certainly do not stay in a house that is on fire! Thank you for the good video. I want to compliment your camera man. He is very good and does not swing the camera or rotate it too quickly. Good job, both of you.

[@oliviamercado3217]

Wow!!! So beautiful i love it.

[@genevarobles-su3vx]

Love all your videos! Great finds beautiful surrounding and always interesting stories some even mysterious! Have been following you since beginning thank you for all your amazing and detailed work and time you put into to all these little gems! Keep the great work up praying for a million!🕊🙋

[@kelleennordquist5697]

Lesley, cracks me up....always tripping over things. Be careful, Bud. hahaha

[@anya229]

Back in Luton England, my mother had that print of the two girls warming in front of the fire. It is quite famous. She really loved it. British houses were often cool and damp, especially bad in winter, so a nice warm up in front of the fire felt fabulous. My sister and I did the same :)

[@burbuvs8911]

Singer should sponsor them and make a kind of colab because they can see how important was sawing machines in the past! Maybe now but fast fashion and buying anything make a bit difference when grandma o mom knew how to improve with Singer. You are so pro in every single video. Thanks!

[@azzamarwan5476]

Thank you Lesley and Danny for the beautiful 😍❤️ video like always .

[@VirginiaTrottman]

Lesley and Danny you are amezing , keep up the good work.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

Beautiful beds and wardrobes! So unique. We don't use wardrobes so much in the USA. We have closets instead. At 24:36 the picture with the young man holding the rosary is his First Communion. That is what we celebrate in 2nd grade in the catholic church. Gorgeous chandelier with the teardrops. The ceilings in that place is very unusual. Thank you guys!

[@ssm9451]

Thank you. You both are the best!

[@carmencirino4669]

The boy in the picture had first Communion. Thanks for sharing.

[@davenay1645]

i love your videos but something puzzles me, why are these placed so dust free? i know in room we dont use much they get very dusty it just puzzles me

[@rumakingthatup]

The mirrors are dust free

[@MyLadyAmalthea]

This seems like a museum type house. Someone dusts. The lace tablecloth is clean as is the chandelier. Moths, mice, and insects would have damaged more without any intervention.

[@Duchessban]

Was a very interesting place. I was surprised to see very little dust on any of the furniture. It actually looks like someone comes in to dust the furniture! Especially the big table in the kitchen it was so clean!

[@donnabeasley2796]

Beautiful place thanks

[@user-pc3eb8gs5y]

Thank u❤❤❤❤

[@tinarusso467]

Excellent video and interpretation

[@elizabethengquist4185]

Fantastic house, I love it! Can't believe family hasn't claimed it !

[@princessjune]

Beautiful video and presentation. 🪷

[@teresabrisola5199]

The song in the background made me go back to Brazil a little. This actually happens every exploration in Portugal. After twenty years in Italy, only the "saudade" remains.

[@joangravel2436]

That was awesome house thanks I enjoyed watching

[@appsr3665]

Fantastic Find!! Clean and organized immigrants, perhaps?? Beautiful! Makes me sad that they had to leave it all behind. Thanks so much to both of you for all of the hard work and the great job that you both do to make it possible to see this video. Much love from WV, USA. Oh, I commented too soon. Maybe they left quickly due to the kitchen fire. So sad!!
