Fattoria Palazzeta is an ideal place for children. The beach, pine forest, and many other services are only a few minutes away but at the same time you are surrounded by the beautiful and quiet Tuscan countryside. The pine forests run all along the beach so it is easy to take shade at the hottest part of the day and have a picnic or a siesta in the forest.
At the Fattoria Palazzeta there are 2 children's play areas; one in the shade of old Holm Oak trees and the other out in the sunshine so that children have the perfect place to play at any time of day.

Next to the pool there is also a small pool for children. It is 3 by 4 mt and 50cm deep so that small children can safely play in the shallow water.
We have all kinds of bicycles available to use in the large amount of open space surrounding the farm. Many children have learnt to ride a bike without stabilisers here at Fattoria Palazzeta!
After a day full of fun you can reach a great recreational area for children in only two minutes. It has bowling, video games, skating rink, bouncy castles, mini motorbikes and a small fairground.

A few minutes drive away you will find 'L'Orizzonte' which is a games and sport centre hidden in the pine forest at Cecina Mare. Children can take part in educational and equestrian activites guided by qualified volunteers.

For example they can draw whilst listening to music out in the open, take part in story telling, play in groups, use the games available and above all go for a ride in the horse and cart through the countryside. They can help feed, clean, learn how to mount horses and meet the ponies. The safe environment guarantees an unforgettable experience for children.
