Wholesome, locally grown food makes feeding the 5,000 a joy as opposed to a chore, and sweeping gardens means they can roam free safely, while parents might just get the chance to read an entire page of a book. Local vineyards and a shuttle to the private beach club (where our resident Portugal expert highly recommends the pina colada) mean there's enough to do outside of the property, its pool and its grounds, should you need it. Surfing, horse riding, paddle boarding and boat rides, for example. If you're lucky enough on a trip out to sea, you might get to see the dolphins."
