We are very aware that happy children equal happy parents, so we do our best to provide you with as much as possible to entertain your children. Our lovely unique playhouse is an instant hit and many happy hours have been spent in it by children of a wide range of ages, transforming it in their vivid imaginations to anything from a castle to a church café (yes really). The swings are sturdy enough to suit all ages from 1 to 101. Ball games, tennis da tavolo, children’s boule sets, ninepins, a large collection of bikes, trikes, slide and other assorted indoor and outdoor toys complete the picture. In each gite there are toys, games, puzzles, books and DVDs to suit all ages and if you let us know the ages of your children when booking the selection is even more specific.
