Useful Information for Casa D'el Petirrojo (151)
Children
We have made 151 as child friendly as possible by learning from our experiences with an energetic 16-month-old. The pool is gated and we have installed a stairgate at the top of the stairs. We also supply the following items, which are all checked at the beginning of the season, but it is your responsibility to check them before using them.
A selection of toys for toddlers
A selection of children videos
A portable stair gate
A range of children’s cutlery and plates
A blender for baby food
A baby monitor
Cots and high chairs are available to hire from the local villa management and may be booked in advance.

The beach of Binibeca is 5 minutes walk away and has the excellent 'Los Buccaneros' for food and drink, services, sun loungers and umbrellas. There is a wooded area providing shaded picnic space if required. The beach has a gently, sloping sea floor making it safer for children. There is a rocky outcrop to one side of the beach that has well worn walking trails and many rock pools. During season watercraft may be hired.
