We Retired Early And Bought A House In Portugal In 2022 (See How Much We Paid And Tour Our Home)

We did it! After 6 months in retirement in Madeira, Portugal, we bought our own home in April, 2022, we paid cash, and now we are living RENT FREE and MORTGAGE FREE! Come for a tour to see what we got for the price we paid. In this video we share how much we paid for our ‘Vila Doce’ 😉.

  1. Congrats M & D! What an amazing view! Wishing you many happy days, and nights, in your new home! BTW, which one of you jams on the Stratocaster? Can you do a video jam session sometime? 🎸🤟

  2. Fantastic! Congratulations on your home.
    Looking forward to the upcoming details process video because I'm involved in the same process myself. Maybe we'll do coffee or poncha sometime.
    Obrigado.

  3. Nice place , I’m just shaking right now with joy for you and anticipation for me because I hope to be in your shoes within the year.
    I am truly so pleased for you guys –

  4. Congratulations on your new home!!! It’s amazing!!! We love following your story. We are visiting Portugal for 2 weeks and are in Madeira now. Our plan is to move here within 2 years. Thank you for all of your videos!!! Enjoy you wonderful new home!!!!

  5. Congratulations🥂Wonderful, cosy home, view and sunsets! You are such a sympathetic and sweet couple🥰 On Monday, May 23, I am visiting Madeira for the 47th time. Being a single traveler I always stay in central Funchal in small hotels or studio apartments. Love my apartment and surroundings in Copenhagen so much and too old to want to move (78 years). At the end of this year – if all goes well – I will have been 13 weeks on Madeira in 2022👏 Wishing both of you all the best in the future. Love from Copenhagen – Merete🇩🇰🇺🇸🇵🇹

  6. I really like the layout of your place. I love the two patios. That is definitely something that I want in my home. The weather is so nice there year around that you will definitely use the outdoor space all the time.

    I can’t wait to hear about the buying process and the taxes. I have so many questions about how property taxes work and the special taxation that is assessed on purchase.

  7. You nailed it Monique and Doug! What a beautiful home you've purchased! It's unbelievable that this townhouse has EVERYTHING but best of all solar power, A/C, and an A energy rating. You only really had to unpack your suitcases. Is this a two bedroom unit? Thank you for taking us on this tour and congratulations on Vila Doce!

  8. Looking good. It is a little more expensive than I was thinking. Lots of the groceries, restaurant and cell phone internet prices were about half what I pay. On the housing I don’t see much of a reduction from what we would pay around here. But the view is awesome.

  9. Congratulations! The apartment looks great and really good value.
    I wanted to ask you how far it is from the center of Funchal. Can you walk there?
    Also, you mentioned it was 1184 sq ft. Does that include the balcony or is that just the indoor space?
    My wife and I have been thinking about living in Maderia and your videos are really inspiring and enjoyable. Thanks and keep sharing.

  10. Wonderful video, (included cactus (12:11), lovely) congratulations! I already "flew or fled" 😃 from Tigre in Argentina, where I have still a great lot of stuff to bring to Portugal with a container. Xmas 2021 I made it to Coimbra, where I´m renting and residing now thanks to my EU passport. My home has to be between Calheta & Funchal. Very important for me is a the supermarket you mentioned 😃 & which name was censored. There is one in Av. D. Manuel I, 9370-133 Estreito da Calheta , & here in Coimbra I have it in Travessa de Combatentes in a 300 meter downhill walking distance. I´m very afraid of mudslides in Madeira (the last one was in 2010). I´m am searching something in the 100-400 meter height range (banana line 😃) The price is astonishing, I thought it would doble this figure. Greetings.

  11. I certainly enjoyed Vila Doce! A perfect place to inhabit including the view. Congratulations! The patio furniture is teak I believe. A bargain to have it included 🙂

  12. You guys are killing it. Love the show and I’m sharing with all my friends. LOVE THE PLACE . Move over I m coming over. I have a question. Does it qualify foe CBI?

  13. CONGRATULATIONS!!! OMG it is beautiful and you got a nice place for a good price considering all the things included with the purchase. The view is magnificent. I'm so glad for you. Enjoy it!!!
