STORY
In this video, we explore the incredible abandoned home of Mister Antonio, a man who devoted his entire life to his faith. With no wife or children, his world revolved around his religious calling. He spent most of his years serving as a priest in the local church, becoming a steadfast pillar of the community.
As the only child of a Spanish couple, Antonio inherited this charming house built by his parents in the late 1800s on the side of a picturesque hill. From this vantage point, the house offers breathtaking views that captivate the eye from a distance. After his parents' passing, he painstakingly transformed the home into the masterpiece we see today.
Antonio had a passion for antiques and beautiful art. Every square centimeter of his house is adorned with exquisite furniture, paintings, and tapestries, reflecting his deep love for these artifacts.
It's believed that he led a very secluded and lonely life, finding comfort in the quiet solitude of his home, where he would often retreat to study and reflect after fulfilling his duties at the church.
Upon his passing, with no heirs to claim his beloved home or its treasures, the house was left abandoned two decades ago. Yet, it remains a frozen moment in time, preserved exactly as he left it.
As you step into this house, you are transported into Antonio’s world. Every room, every artifact whispers the story of his life and passions. Believe us when we say, this is a hidden gem you don't want to miss out on! Join us as we uncover the secrets and stories of this incredible abandoned home.

We all look like its a mass mini wedding for first communion.
I once attended a Priest viewing and funeral. The Priest was buried wearing his liturgical vestments, stole, and ecclesiastical ring. His Bible, chalice and other items were displayed next to him. When it was time to close his coffin the bible and rosary were placed on his chest and the other items were placed by his feet. In Mexico we pray a novena. Its a daily prayer for 9 days starting after the burials. Someone attending must of left his passing announcement on the bed.

Y lo dejaron descansar en paz? O estuvieron molestando pidiéndole favores ? Porque en México sois de molestar a los muertos 😂😂 país atrasado en lo que a la muerte de refiere, no sabeis ni lo que significan las Catrinas pero las usais dando y diciendo un significado que no es real .

In the Philippines also pray the novena for 9 days and in 40 days we visit in cemetery and pray a novena their..after next visiting after one year..
I think Antonio was a military man who served his country and adhered to his religion. A man who lived in a classy and classic house. His friends and acquaintances were very few, but I would like to mention Miguel’s painting. This is a Mexican painter. I love his painting. Thank you, great people, for this elegant exploration.

This is probably one of my most favorite episodes that you have done and shared with us. I absolutely love this house. The priests had exquisite taste, tapestries, furniture, artwork, rugs, and so much more. I absolutely love both of you and the work that you do and how you share it with us. I watch every new episode always. Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤

Little girl is pictured in a first holy communion dress
Estoy muy emocionada de ver un vídeo vuestro en España, porque soy española. La casa es impresionante, parece un auténtico palacio. Mucho gusto, muchos muebles y objetos bonitos. He de deciros que en España, hace unas décadas, eran muy religiosos, y era corriente tener cuadros con pinturas de tema religioso y crucifijos por todas partes. También os diré varias cosas: el mueble que hay a la entrada de la casa se llama consola. Las fotos de damas desfilando pertenecen a procesiones, probablemente de Semana Santa, que en España se celebra en marzo o abril. Otra cosa: los sacerdotes no se casan en España, y suelen vivir cerca de la iglesia o en algún anejo de la misma con modestia y pocos lujos. Yo creo que en esa casa-palacio no viviría el sacerdote, pero sí sería alguien muy querido y cercano a la familia propietaria, que tendría bastante dinero. Más cosas: España no participó en las guerras mundiales, pero sí sufrió una guerra civil entre medio de las dos. ¡Maravilloso vídeo! Espero podáis hacer más como éste en España. Gracias

What a shame that this has all been left behind. I hope someone saves this home or the belongings at least. Its so pretty.
Cant wait to watch this exploration! Looks fabulously frozen in time!!
Priests were well looked after, they had many visitors on a regular basis to their homes,for counselling,guidance, bible talk,etc. I think the woman in the pictures was his sister & the pictures of the younger girl in white was probably her first communion. I wore a white dress with a similar head piece for my first communion.

Another great video. Thanks to you both Danny and Lesley.Hello from USA Florida🥰
Lots of antiques and the stuff is really unique that's really too bad it all got left behind
the facade is completely overgrown with green plants🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿, very impressive how he lived, eyeliner in the bathroom? He was a priest and married? definitely a beautiful house🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
The ornaments, tapestries and furniture were probably his parents --he would keep everything as it was.
Hoo DIOS !!! ME DA TANTA TRISTESA VER CASAS ABANDONADAS , Y PENSAR QUE HAY TANTA GENTE , FAMILIAS QUE NO TIENEN DONDE VIVIR 😥🇨🇱⚘

That antique entry table, we call a calling card table. Guests would leave their calling cards on it. Great tour. Thank you for sharing. God Bless 🙏🙏
Gorgeous home. Antonio had excellent taste! And the tables in the entryway are called console tables.
It is indeed called a hall table in entry ways or narrow walkways

Priests don't marry in America. Vicors, or preachers do. The dishes from Japan look like end of ww2 eara. Antiques for sure. Amazing house. Thank you for sharing.
The photo of the girl in wedding-like attire, she is attending her first communion. So they were Catholics, which makes sense being Spain. The small crystal bowl with claw tongs is a sugar bowl, using sugar cubes😊
Beautiful home you both do an amazing job together. Loved this video.
The table in the entrance is called a hall table. Very beautiful home, I enjoyed the whole tour, thank you!

No. If it is the family home, it belongs to him. In many towns there is a “casa del cura” , which belongs to the church. The priest lives there till he dies or is sent somewhere else.

In America a Catholic priest cannot get married, but a Pastor can. I was raised Catholic my Mother’s family had French ancestry.
Spaniard here, I wanted to comment on 9:00. Yes, that's indeed a Spanish flag, it's totally normal for us not to include the emblem in our flags. I don't really know why, never thought about it. I guess it's because we had three different emblems from 1977 to 1981, but it's just an hypothesis.

This looks too pristine to be abandoned. Maybe it’s Danny’s amazing photography but it just doesn’t look abandoned. Great video and location.

This was a great exploration. As always great care was taken to piece together the story of Antonio. The living room was so beautiful and it was definitely a time capsule. Antonio definitely took great care of everything that he touched. This was a very inspirational exploration. Can't wait to see the next one. ❤
Hermoso video !! Saludos desde Argentina !
This house looks like it’s been abandoned longer than 20 years i love the Mexican painting and the sofas 👍👍🇺🇸
It is a crime that all these abandoned houses contain so many extraordinary pieces. These should be saved immediately, not left to rot. Disgraceful.

so much rooms and furniture for one person... the decay is a pity. thanks for this lovely video. i like that Lesly and Danny always fall in love to all this details in their documents.
Amazing house & beautiful detail of the furniture ❤
So happy I discovered your channel. Thank you for such an interesting tour of a home that certainly does not look like it has been abandoned for several decades. The furniture, crystal, tapestries look to be in amazing condition. I hope someone sees the value of preserving this and makes the needed repairs before there is nothing left to preserve. It would be great if you could do a follow-up on the life of Antonio.
Hello from Texas!
The picture of the young girls in white fancy dresses are girls at their First Communions. When you reach a certain age in the Catholic Religion you have a ceremony to be able to receive the sacrament during the Mass at church on Sundays and other religious ceremonies.
Awesome video thank you ❤
Eow, this is gonna be another great exploration!
Antonio had exquisite, royal taste and attention to detail down to the feet of mundane ice cube tongs. So many places you say should be a museum. Well, this is one and I'm glad you got to document it before it's gone

Not nice in outside but wow inside is soo neat and clean doesn’t look like abandoned house.
That particular table in the entrance hall is what is called a pier table and is meant to sit between two windows, usually with a mirror above.

The empty wine bottles was not because he drank a lot. He probably was storing them from the church. By Substantiation of the mass of changing the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
It is again a winderful video with an interesting story.I love your little chat on tje couch,and i had to laugh about your synchron reaction about the empty bar in the cupboard.
Hey Lesley, thank you for sharing this exceptional explore in that still wonderfully preserved Spanish house. - The living room with the beautiful furniture and a lot of probably nice and valuable antiques was my favourite room. Also the nicely furnished dining room and some bedrooms were still beautifully intact and nice to see. - I was also quite surprised to see all these tapestries on the walls. It really is a pity to see these treasures just left abandoned behind to decay! - If this former owner really was a priest, I totally share your doubts about that, because I also couldn't really see the slightest clue for that. Of course there were some religious pictures and rosaries visible, but in older houses, especially in southern European countries, this is anyways quite common. A very interesting fact is, that you even couldn't find any bible and some other high end theological literature, which would indicate a proof, that the former owner was really a priest. That will remind a mystery whatsoever! Wonderful camerawork and very constructive conversations with Danny about various details you were focussing on your attention. I love that so much, because Danny has a good eye for items, which might slip your attention. And - it was also so lovely to see him sitting together with you on that beautiful ornate sofa. - A very interesting explore, which was a great pleasure to watch! I am already looking forward to your next explore adventure. Stay safe, peace and kindest regards.
I have that same tapestry with the elk or stag and other similar ones. My parents bought them in either the early 70s or late 60s.
The marble top table in the hall is known as a console table as far as I am aware.
Priest cannot get married in the US USA because I am Catholic
