Nick, this was my favorite video that you’ve done. The countryside is just gorgeous! A great house for the price and I love those ceilings. It doesn’t matter if the houses sell before you post. They’re just examples of life in the Algarve and I have no doubt that Pedro will find me the perfect country house when I arrive. It’s great to see something besides those sterile, modern flats that look like any old city in the world. Loved the lovely lunch with friends and you make everything interesting. Can’t wait to see more traditional houses and unique restaurants. Thank you!
Another episode idea: What's renting like? Tips for renters, etc. I read that rentals are very hard to find, especially in the popular areas, and that landlords don't often do long-term leasing. Lots to be said for moving somewhere new & renting for a while before you buy or build....
You are pretty much the “Pusher Man” Nick on the Algarve. Now I’m hooked and becoming a Portugal junkie thanks to your video series. I appreciate all the time you have put into these videos. They look simple and spontaneous but it’s evident how much thought and planing went into them. What an amazing place. Unfortunately I am still counting the years before I can plan my escape to those lands. Watching the videos certainly help though. Cheers mate.
It has the opposite effect on me, these videos fill me with dread seeing how these people live and knowing I'm so far away from living that kind of life.
That's sad, André. Doesn't it inspire you to work harder for a better life? Trust me, it's not easy making these videos, it's fun, but it's also a ton of hard work and requires dedicated planning and networking.
Thanks for putting all these videos together, Nick. I’m recently single (39 years old) with no kids (just my dog). I’m not a big city person, and currently live in a small rural village 20 minutes away from a small city. The dating scene is tough around here. Have you done a video on dating scenes for people other than the obvious choice for someone under 30 (Lisbon/Porto)? Maybe a video with a bachelor/bachelorette that has moved to the Algarve’s and their experience. Maybe a bit about your experience when you moved at 30 years old as a single person? Would love the back story, but understand you perhaps wanting to keep your private life private. Cheers to all your hard work on these videos. I’m really enjoying and am quickly making it through your video collection!
That 2nd place, opposite the petrol station, has the best desert selection on the Algarve. Well worth the drive , in it's own. Worth booking a table , often very busy in evenings
What I lovely house. I’m torn between rural living versus being walking distance to a small town and restaurants cafes shops etc, especially with a nearly teenager. But I can see the prices rise nearer the coast. What’s the traffic like in the summer? Is it awful to get to the beach, can you always find a place to park ? Do you tend to drive everywhere in the hottest months as it’s too hot to walk to places anyway?
I wondered about housing in the interior of the Algarve. Thank you, sounds like there are good opportunities available if one is both patient and quick.
Hi Nick...we need to get down..soon.. as follow up from late last year to 2xmths early this yesr.in motorhome.. And will contact you as learnt so much from you...looking to reside...retired from music biz....Have friends Algarve...Thanks again for your vlogs. Jim'n'Sue
I assume that you are knowledgeable about the various visas in Portugal. I am an American living in Colombia. I have been here for 11 years. I am thinking of moving to Portugal and I favor the D/ visa. Do you know if one can qualify for this visa with substantial bank deposits? I have just enough pension and investment income to qualify, and I will have substantial balances in the bank. Depending on the exchange rates, etc, I may need to show bank deposits to qualify. I really enjoy your videos. Portugal seems like an ideal place to live.
Hi Craig, sure. Check out the D7 visa and if you'd like some detailed assistance with it, please head over to www.algarveaddicts.com/d7 and book a call with Samantha.
You all look so fit. I don't know why you don't all weigh three hundred pounds. If I ate the couvert, I would never make it to the carne. Esqueça o sobremesa, The food looked wonderful. Next time, save a chair for me.
Hahaha, I think I'm getting to know you a little Steve. The house was bland because it was empty and yup, the food wasn't that healthy, it was traditional (that was more the point). 👍🏼
Gorgeous area, the house was OK, great views, I didn't really like the layout much. Why was there a refrigerator in the bedroom? 🤔 🤔 🤔 So your guest can have a cold beer 🍻 in bed??

Thank you so much Karin, that's a wonderful comment. 🙂

Funny that, I was just thinking about doing a video all about renting as so many people struggle with getting a years lease for the D7 visa.

You're welcome, I'm glad the videos could inspire you a little 👍🏼

Hey Nick great video. The country life looks so picturesque. Thanks for another great video.
You're welcome Hilary, I hope all is well.

Hey Nick, my advice is get online. I did.
Great video, can't wait to get back to Algarve & visit the places you feature.
Thanks KMS, easy to do when the area is so wonderful.
Lunch starts at 06:01
Thanks Vladimir, I should add in the chapters.
lovin the vibe here!
Did you visit the restaurant?
Dear Nick! We love you! Keep it coming. Jay
You're welcome Jay! It's tough but I'll keep going 😎👊🏼
Nice! A little too rural for me, but I’d love to do a weekend visit with friends. That would be cool!
Yup it's a lovely location!
That 2nd place, opposite the petrol station, has the best desert selection on the Algarve. Well worth the drive , in it's own.

That sounds like a dinner date for me and my wife! Do you live near by?
@@AlgarveAddicts Nope, much closer to Loule.
Wow Iam so going to that restaurant 😎
Yeah, it's totally worthwhile. I'm salivating now just thinking of it.
Nice video about algarve, keep them coming...
Thanks so much 👍🏼
That villa is/was perfect for a comfortable and energy efficient underfloor heating system.
It certainly is, you should get in touch with the new owner Gus.
Great Video Nick love watching your Videos, very informative 👍 looking forward to the next Video . Thanks Angelo
Thanks for watching, Angelo 👍🏼
Great video...all the info on the house, how much it was and what you get is still useful info even if it sold 👍🏽😊
Thanks, glad you derived some value from it 👍🏼
Its beautiful but i would not know how to manage a fireplace for heating a house. But this is a beautiful property.
It's easy, you buy wood, put it in, light it and voila. Heat. 😎👍🏼 Unfortunately this property was sold before I could even publish the video.
Great video! Isn't the average salary in Portugal like 1k-1.5k/mo? How can "cheap" house prices be so high in a place like that?
Hello, Very interesting video, thank you. Can you tell me which town/village the Cantinho da Serra was in?
Funny that, I'm currently making a video where we end up in Cantinho da Serra! It's just north of Barranco do Velho in Loulé Concelho.

Hi Natalie, traffic down in Vilamoura is pretty tough in August. The rest of the year it's fine.
I wondered about housing in the interior of the Algarve. Thank you, sounds like there are good opportunities available if one is both patient and quick.
Yes, I think you've summed it up John. One needs to be in the position to buy and then look patiently.
Hi Nick...we need to get down..soon.. as follow up from late last year to 2xmths early this yesr.in motorhome..
And will contact you as learnt so much from
you...looking to reside...retired from music biz....Have friends Algarve...Thanks again for your vlogs. Jim'n'Sue
Good luck Jim 👍🏼
Loving your earrings Fiona ! (i'm sorry Jerome.... :) )

I can’t find the moncique video
Hi Nick: Excellent purview. .Do the homes in the Algarve get damp and moldy in winter as many do in central and north Portugal do? Thanks
Some of them for sure. It's definitely a concern when buying a house.
did you want to say montes novos? lol :-)
Yes, I did want to say Montes Novos, did it sound odd? Lol.
You all look so fit. I don't know why you don't all weigh three hundred pounds. If I ate the couvert, I would never make it to the carne. Esqueça o sobremesa, The food looked wonderful. Next time, save a chair for me.
Hahah, will do. Those guys are professional cyclists so they need all the calories they can get.
Am I out of place for saying Fiona has very beautiful eyes? :D
The scenery is stunning admittedly, though the house interior was rather bland. The food wasn't particularly healthy.
Hahaha, I think I'm getting to know you a little Steve. The house was bland because it was empty and yup, the food wasn't that healthy, it was traditional (that was more the point). 👍🏼
@@AlgarveAddicts I like the way you seem to combine work and leisure. I can't, England is overpopulated and I do get stressed unfortunately.
Gorgeous area, the house was OK, great views, I didn't really like the layout much. Why was there a refrigerator in the bedroom? 🤔 🤔 🤔 So your guest can have a cold beer 🍻 in bed??
Sounds like a GREAT idea to me 😂
Shes a pretty little thing she is
