Playground Monte Rosa

There are plenty of activities for children in the Algarve. But also while at Monte Rosa our youngest guests will not be bored. Kids can explore the surroundings, for example to build huts. There’s a dressing-up box and there are many games and books. Kids can pet the cats, feed the chickens and pick up fresh eggs from the coop. This is often a new experience for children from the city! They can also help out in the organic vegetable garden. Of course many hours are spent in the swimming pool, on the little playground and on the football field.
