La Faula is not the place for unsupervised children. As a working farm it has too many dangers. Sometimes parents supervising their children under-estimate the dangers or overestimate their ability to protect their child. La Faula offers families a wonderful holiday location but farms and country pose real dangers - it is in all our interests to recognise them and know how to avoid them!
