STORY
Imagine stepping onto a oncethriving Portuguese wine estate, now eerily silent and overgrown. The grand farmhouse, with its multiple bedrooms, once buzzed with the daily life of the Saraiva family. But why was this lively estate abruptly abandoned in the 1980s? What could have driven the Saraiva family to leave suddenly, leaving all their belongings behind? Could there be a sinister reason behind their departure, or perhaps the whispers of financial ruin hold some truth?

The Saraiva family, led by José Saraiva, had been in the wine business for generations. José inherited the estate and expanded it into a flourishing enterprise. Despite their success, the family lived modestly, avoiding the trappings of an extravagant lifestyle. José, however, had a mysterious side. The farmhouse still contains Portuguese and German uniforms from World War II, though some have been stolen over the years. This discovery has fueled speculation that he might have sympathized with the German army during the war.

Maria Saraiva was the glue that held the large family together. Her presence brought warmth and stability to the household, and the family's life revolved around their home and vineyard. Then, suddenly, in the 1980s, everything changed. The family vanished, leaving the estate and all their possessions behind. To this day, no one knows for sure why. As some suggest, was it financial trouble, or was something more sinister at play, related to the war artifacts in the house?

The abandoned wine farm now stands as a haunting reminder of the past, with the memories of the Saraiva family shrouded in mystery. What truly happened to the Saraiva family? Come with us as we uncover the secrets of this oncethriving Portuguese household!
