| Family Friendly Holidays At 'Palmeiras' we do everything possible to ensure that families with children have a holiday that is both fun and relaxing. With three children of our own we know how important it is to keep kids happy and entertained on holiday, within a safe and secure environment. Our swimming pool has a wonderful paddling pool attached, ideal for babies and toddlers. The water is chlorine free, meaning less irritation to little eyes and skin. The villa and cottage gardens are all separated from the pool area and are enclosed and fenced, to give parents of toddlers that extra piece of mind. An Adventure Playground (designed for children age 5 +) situated amongst the eucalyptus trees, includes towers, a wobbly bridge, a slide & fireman's pole. The adventure fort adds an exciting dimension for all the visiting children and keeps them occupied for hours. All three properties have use of lawned areas and the villa garden also incorporates a sandpit and swing. Our adventure fort has a Little Tykes bucket swing, perfect for babies from 6 months. We can provide a range of equipment for babies and toddlers, meaning you can travel lighter! The following equipment can be made available to all our guests on request: Cots with linens Moses basket 2 Junior beds (Age 2+) with integrated bed guards Baby Bjorn sling Stroller buggy (from 6 months) Activity walker High chair/portable high chair for restaurant use Reclining chair (up to 6 months) with attachable activity toy Baby gym Feeding equipment - children's cutlery, bowls, cups etc. Steriliser Mini blender Breast pump Baby changing facilities and potties Inflatable baby seats for pool use Satellite TV (CBeebies!)

Our villa and cottages are available to rent separately or together (subject to availability), which provides the perfect opportunity to bring grandparents or child minders along too. "We wanted to say how much we enjoyed staying at the Old Distillery. The location is stunning - we loved swimming in the pool overlooking the mountains - and the atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed. A perfect holiday. We also really appreciated all the baby equipment, particularly the toys. We do a lot of holiday lets but I don't think we've ever stayed in a better equipped cottage than yours. Thank you." Isabella, Adam and Christian Park - Guests at the Old Distillery September 2006 Why Portugal?The Portuguese adore children and cater well for families. Children are always welcome in restaurants, even late into the night. The food is simple with plenty of fish and chicken dishes - perfect for the under fives. Clean, sandy beaches with parking right on the beach front make sea-side trips effortless. The flight time is only 2 hours & 45 minutes from the U.K., with year-round sunshine - Great for winter breaks. There's an exciting range of activities for children: superb beaches with great rock pools, water parks, pony trekking, animal conservation centers, and an incredible sand sculpture festival (May to September) with workshops for kids. Or, if you prefer, just let them spend all day in the pool!
