Families staying with us will discover that playtime can happen almost anywhere, from designated playgrounds to the natural landscapes around our property.

From swings and climbing ropes to open space for imaginative games, these little hubs of joy are designed with families in mind.
Beyond our gates, the surrounding villages add even more variety. Fernão Joanes, just a short walk away, has recently built a modern playground that is free for everyone to use. It’s a great spot to mingle with local families and let the kids burn off energy in a safe, fenced, well-maintained environment. In Guarda, you’ll find additional playgrounds, larger, well equipped, and perfect for a day trip that combines cultural exploration with outdoor fun for the younger ones.
Of course, one of the greatest playgrounds of all is nature itself. At Starbase18, children have the freedom to climb rocks, splash in creeks, chase butterflies, and discover the small wonders of mountain life. These natural play experiences not only keep them active but also nurture creativity, problem-solving, and a connection with the environment. Watching a child turn a fallen branch into a sword, or a pile of stones into a castle, is a reminder that some of the best toys are the ones nature provides.

Kids can switch between swings and slides in the village, or spend an afternoon exploring the streams and meadows that surround the property.
