Set back from the pool is a raised, decked terrace with café-style tables & chairs. Shaded by a large walnut tree, this is a great place for the kids to play out of the sun.
The pool has been specifically designed and built with children’s enjoyment in mind. The shallow end is only 1.05m deep (i.e. shallower than normal), so young children can stand in the water easily. There is both a safety fence and a lockable safety gate (shared with La Pergola). Please note that parents are fully responsible for the keys to the safety gate.
The large swimming pool is shared by guests staying in Le Palmier, Le Pressoir and La Pergola, so time spent by the pool will mean your kids are bound to make new friends as they all play together!
