Babies & Toddlers

all the facilities & equipment for little ones

“Absolutely everything you need for a baby or toddler is available at Caserio del Mirador, it makes for a really easy journey as you can travel lightly and avoid all the hassle of lugging around so much baby and toddler paraphernalia. Before you arrive, Sarah will ask about your kids’ ages and interests, and then curate a toy and book selection for your room based upon this, plus there are seemingly endless baskets of toys around the property.”

The Pool Area

For many families, a Spanish holiday is all about being poolside in the sunshine. Our collection of inflatables and toys are yours to play all day or take to the beach if you prefer.  We have ride on toys too, pool toys and floats, beach and sand pit toys and balls, and games, puzzles and bricks to be enjoyed either with other children or quietly in the shade if anyone needs some quiet alone time.

There are UV hats and straw hats if the little ones don’t like the one you brought. Forgot an essential pair of goggles? Johnny likes to scoot off on his bike and meet the Amazon delivery.

Our 15 Acre Playground

Our terraced hillside offers olive groves, walking paths (perfect for buggies and backpacks) and several playgrounds for endless fun in the sun. The playground by the stables has a slide, a swing for older kids, and a baby seat (or two for when twins are in the house!) Under the carob tree, the big red tractor is always a hit, while wooden horses and a little cart inspire role-play adventures. Need a cowboy hat? Grab one from the bar! Past the sandpit you’ll find a trampoline, smaller climbing frame and chairs for parents to watch the fun and take in the view.

The Reading House offers a peaceful spot with cushions and shade, grab a book from the bar for a story and a snooze. Have a picnic by the airstream or just explore; visit the animals, collect almonds and wild garlic, pick flowers for the table, feed the goats a croissant, and back to the bar for an ice cream. There’s plenty of space for families to enjoy privacy or watch the children make friends. We double up on most toys, so no need to share if we haven’t embraced the concept yet… anything to make toddler days a little easier.

Toys & Books

Bring a favourite teddy or toy for the journey, but once you arrive your children will be spoilt for choice.

We take great pleasure in stocking our toy cupboard If trucks and trains are your thing, we have that covered. If there is a new craze we may not know about, feel free to check.  Sometimes it’s beads and bracelets, or a request of transformers or a particular glove puppet they enjoyed the year before.

We have tea sets and train sets, Lego Duplo Brio and loads of toy animals and cars.  There might be a dolls house in your room, or a rocking horse, a toy kitchen or maybe the big red tractor is the main event.

And if you have a special bedtime book that would help make the first days easier, just let us know. We add to the library every week and encourage the children to swap and share during their holiday.  Anyone for a cuddle and a story in the mirador?

The Animals

Children love new things and feeding the animals is a favourite activity, it’s almost like making new friends. Who will you visit first, the goats, the chickens, the piglets, the bunnies or the ponies and donkey at the stables? If you leave your door open, Luna or Dora, one of our cats might come and visit you! These loveable personalities are the source of many happy memories.

“What a wonderful holiday we had with you, B has finally stopped asking to feed the piggies every day!”

Best Time to Travel with Babies & Toddlers

The freedom to travel outside of school holidays with pre-schoolers is not to be underestimated. High temperatures in July and August aren’t for everyone. If you don’t have to travel when prices are at their highest and beaches crowded, stick to June and September for summer temperatures. May is our favourite month to be in Spain, think beautiful lush landscapes with wild flowers and blue skies, perfect for exploring and going on adventures.

 “I can’t imagine any other hotel is so focused on this age group. I was blown away by everything you offer for little ones.”
