I am so intrigued with the Sha Wellness clinic, as I love focusing on well-being and my preferred way to nurture my health is by indulging in a delicious Mediterranean diet for which the hotel is famous!
Favorite Memory
I loved waking up at Sao Lourenco do Barrocal, donning my running shoes and heading off for a morning jog through the cow pastures. The sun was rising and the cows were staring me down like I was completely mad. My jogging companion did a great job of running ahead to clear the cows off the path for me as I laughed hysterically.
Insider Tip
Palazzo Avino is my favorite place to suggest for my clients because after they tire of exploring, they can escape the crowds and enjoy a few days of down time at the hotel’s private beach club.

Cannot travel without...
Running shoes – I love to stay active every day and most especially when I travel. Seeing a destination under my own power thrills me.
