STORY
Today, we take you on a mesmerizing journey into a small village where a house, once full of life, now stands as a silent witness to a bygone era. Welcome to the Cardoso house-a place frozen in time, holding onto the echoes of laughter and love from decades past.
Once the vibrant home of Maria and Adolfo and their four children-João, Pedro, Ana, and Sofia-this house was filled with the joyful sounds of family life and the playful barks of their beloved dogs, Tico and Pumba, but as the children grew up and ventured into the world, the bustling home began to quiet down.
In early 2005, tragedy struck. Maria passed away in January, and just a month later, Adolfo followed her. The loss of their parents left the siblings heartbroken and scattered, unable to keep the home alive. Over time, the house fell into disrepair, its bright past giving way to a sad present.
Join us as we step into this time capsule, where every room remains untouched since the last days of Adolfo and Maria. From family photos to old cars in the garage, everything is just as it was 20 years ago. We’ll explore the crumbling walls and the stories they hold, revealing a home where time stands still.
This is a tale you won’t forget, a real-life exploration straight out of a fairytale. Don’t miss out on this poignant and fascinating journey through the Cardoso family's history.

Life is a funny thing ? We all have to leave one day and we can't take our worldly possessions with us and we all end up just being photographs and memories but it's how we live our lives that count and I must agree with Leslie and Danny that Adulfo and Maria's love is still in that house, a wonderful documentary guys it bought tears to my eyes........keep up the great work you do and safe travels !😢

Так, пан чи пані, але це не дає "їм" права використовувати інших для покращення якості свого прижиттєвого стану... І потім, є люди, які після життя залишають книги, монографії, концепції, статті і публікації, до яких звертаються навіть через 100 років, от те більш цінне, ніж просто фотографії і вибачте наглі московські апешники які весь час шукають чужі очі і риються у чужих мізках із ганебною метою... як і всі кремлівські московські свині...😢😊

[@judyevansparker5989]

So sad that their children just left everything their parents worked so hard for to just decay...It does look like someone came in and went through things and left it trashed.....they were looking for something....so so so sad

[@nurrita888]

I hope one of their relatives or their children somehow see this video and could comeback to this place just to recall their childhood memories about their roots. I believe back then this house was really really beautiful house.

[@berthagreen1620]

How terribly sad. Such beautiful memories and treasures left behind. I just can’t understand it.

[@carolbennefield25]

Love to watch your tours of all these homes but sometimes it makes me rather sad to see them just decaying and falling apart. Some of the items left are so beautiful and could still be useful to someone. So sad that the families left don't care to save a lot of these treasures.

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

22:14 This somehow hits really hard. They must have loved their house a lot. I'm sure they wouldn't have liked to have it rot away like that. Wonder why nobody took care and why it was abandoned. Well, it's a very interesting time capsule. Thank you for sharing!

[@AWJ-zf8cf]

I set my notification. I usually take out time to watch every week. Lesley your voice and accent are mesmerizing! The care and love you have for your passion is so heartwarming ❤️ From Washington state

Hello from Tacoma

[@2serveand2protect]

PS. How do you just ABANDON a home like that one?? It's BEAUTIFUL!

[@loveofanimalsinc.visaliaca8508]

It's sad to see so many beautiful things waste away 😢. I know of a house on one of the Azore islands who's owner left in 1930 to go to America. He left everything behind.

[@DivaliciousbyDawnn]

That sounds intriguing!

[@libertygiveme1987]

I just LOVE how you guys take such care in presenting these places and those that once lived in them. This couple had such LOVE for one another, that's why they passed within a few weeks of each other. The "Wedding Vows" declare that - "THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE." They don't just say that.

[@yanetnanai4194]

We can say "the room with a huge view" and a beatiful chandelier 😍

[@raydiane1]

I absolutely love how the brothers exclaimed with excitement when they saw the dog photo. They are definitely animals lovers. ❤

[@dellchica2373]

The picture at 42:20 is of a young St Therese of Lisieux from France. Also the " lady" at the middle of the childrens beds is Our Lady Mary.

[@Chaps7A]

"If it works, it ain't stupid." Best quote ever!

[@Kimberly-r9p]

This home was full of love for sure. It was so beautiful the items left behind. The love you showed for the family was so evident all the way through. Thank you for sharing this lovely home.

[@Phoenix_flying]

I’m simultaneously fascinated, charmed, and devastated by these beautiful, sad relics of the lives that have passed on. It’s very emotional watching your channel. Thank you for all you do.

[@ssm9451]

Amazing home. You and Danny are the best. We like William and Jordy too!! Thank you

[@pixidanberty5530]

So nice to see handsome Danny ❤

[@santaclause2875]

But Leslie is more awesomely handsome. Leslie's a stud puppy.

[@beckyhauge4217]

Love your videos with more detail. I have my KZbin on everyday on your channel. 70 yrs old and it's grand to see these places and stories I will never see. Never been wealthy but these places are beautiful. I'm an antique lover all my life. Keep up the good work. I'm up 1:30 a.m. and don't go to bed before 11pm. So I constantly watching instead of housework.

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks awesome house sad kids don't want the house

[@silviacarducci6691]

Leslie siete meravigliosi di solito lo guardo al mattino prestissimo Ammiro moltissimo il modo con cui narri la vita di queste case e la delicatezza ed il rispetto che ne hai💯💯💪💪❤

Omg save that chandelier!!! Its gorgeous!!!!

[@nanellevantonder3767]

I collect, restore, and cherish old chandeliers. I really cry for the beautiful chandelier!❤😢

[@laurielaurie8280]

@@nanellevantonder3767 What a shame that is it just going to ruin. Awful. That thing is worth some money.

[@ramona_rami5643]

Adolfo and Maria's "eternal love home" is one filled with priceless memories and family items. Each room has its own charm, impressive furniture and artwork ; I love the master bedroom and the wedding picture! Lesley, the paintings( replicas) you like belong to a really famous Dutch artist, Johannes Vermeer. Thank you for sharing this emotional life story! ❤

[@careyh38]

Can't wait to watch this beauty 🤩. I may have to watch the replay. I will try to be on. Looks amazing, Lesley ❤️

[@nikkid8367]

This is so beautiful in a grand but humble way

[@willyegger4488]

Hey dear Lesley, this is again such a wonderful and awesome explore, you were doing together with Danny. Again I loved his exceptional camerawork and these special conversations you have with him. Lovely to see you both at the beginning of the video. - I agree, that the presence of the former owners is still around in the surprisingly intact rooms of this house. I also loved seeing the beautiful living room with the beautiful furniture and the dining room with the cabinets, filled with glasses and chinaware. - And - wow, the room with that amazing "view" because of the whole wall, which had once fallen out. The beautiful grand chandelier is so incredible to see in that intact state. - Although there are a lot of traces of heavy decay visible, it is absolutely amazing to see, that the interior is still so intact! Wonderful! I also love to see the great respect how you approach the life of the former owners, and your appreciation and enthousiasm is from the highest possible caliber! Lesley and Danny you are just simply the best! - I got deeply touched, when you placed the photograph with the old lady on that decorative oven with the peacock feathers vase. - Simply outstanding! I very much enjoyed watching, so I watched your video twice! Wishing you all the best, peace, many hugs and kindest regards.

[@jendagesse4524]

I love watching him

[@santaclause2875]

Yes, he's a handsome young buck, with an awesome rear end! Danny's not bad either.

[@user-th3tl2qi3r]

Het is zo heerlijk om met jullie mee te lopen door deze prachtige huizen . En jullie zijn zo prettig om naar te luisteren❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@allashmulevich7237]

Thank you guys for giving us a chance to see those amazing places. Waiting for more adventures to come. Dany has a Russian accent.Спасибо 🙏

[@yanetnanai4194]

I love the kitchen ❤

[@user-lk3wv1cf9c]

Was a very beautiful home at one time ❤❤❤❤

[@amybrawn4271]

it always makes me wonder why the proof of all those years of love in that amazing home is left behind. there were some very beautiful photos, of the whole family grandparents and probably more. however we only see a glimpse of their lives, there are reasons why somethings get left to decay naturally, reasons we could never no. thanks for another amazing video.

[@hjgibbs7806]

Thank you for sharing this story and video. I think the crystal chandelier was my favorite thing in the room.Be careful and God bless you both.❤❤Can’t wait for the next video.

[@charb1766]

Yes, I love how you present your videos. It's an excellent way to wind down at the end of the day. The background music is always perfect for the type of home that you’re in.

[@rosemary6160]

Boy, those are big pineapples ( pinecones) in that fireplace😂😂😂 You two do beautiful work highlighting people who have long passed... filming their former habitats...with love and respect. You two are beautiful humans and I love when you post a new one!❤ Keep up the good works❤

[@Anshaqueen12]

I want to have all that furniture and dishes, everything is so beautiful 😍

[@tjohn4398]

I would love to restore this house and groom the grounds to continue the legacy of this family. It would take a lot of time to restore it, but it would be done in the honor of this family and it would be like a museum of this family.

[@robertladue7647]

A very pleasant exploration with great dignity. Thank you.

[@tinarusso467]

I loved this video. You both did an excellent job. TY for sharing!

[@louwoodford536]

I enjoy your explorations so very much; this was no exception my heart just bubbles over for this family. You bring them to life for each one of us watching. My mind's eye can see this place in all its grandeur at one time. I suppose that's why the demise of this home makes me sad but also happy they lived and loved in such a fine place. Beautiful! I also enjoy yourself and Danny exploring together. You get the chance to freely walk about and tour this place through your eyes and Dannys camera we get the best of both worlds. Also, Danny is your eyes and yours are his! He is able to help you see what is vital for your safety, you are a protection to one another. I like to hear you converse with each other about the area and therefore you explore all the possibilities that you can both bring to our attention. Lovely! Well done as always. Thank you for allowing us to travel and never leave our home. Its special what you do and also what you do for the former owners of these glorious homes. With much love!

Really enjoyed this one 😍 thank you for finding such a beautiful place & sharing it with us ✌️

[@user-qq5gu3wi1b]

I found this exploration so heart warming. The house did seem to have the spirit of both of them. I am sure that the children just didn't come back because of the grief of the loss of both parents. Sometimes you just have to let things go. The memories are what everyone should cherish. I was amazed that there was only one tv. That was pretty good. Just spending time outside instead.

[@user-qq5gu3wi1b]

I can't wait to see the next adventure.

[@maryscavone5622]

I love the way you pay attention to details and old photos. Do you ever get cold chills sometimes? Often wondered. You guys are a treasure to us. So brave.

I just love the way you present your videos each week, your narrative is very informative of the house and surrounding areas. I look forward to each one. P.S. Got to tell you, that its way better than whats on Australian free to air television, hence why I go back into your catalogue all the time. Cheers from Down Under.

One thing that I so appreciate of your videos is the excellent film work! I don't get dizzy with the camera moving too fast. Great team work and I appreciate your pacing through the rooms.

Do you ever contact owners or bank to buy items in these houses, just to save some of the beautiful items in these homes that no one seems to care about? Just curious. It breaks my heart that things once loved, cherished and cared for, now just being destroyed by time and elements.
