At La Dune Surf Camp you will find five rooms for two, three, four, or five persons depending on your preferences (maximum 12 persons), three bathrooms with beautiful Italian showers, a spacious fully equipped kitchen open to the outside, lounge, or dining room equipped (television, Wi-Fi, books, sofas, table, and games), a beautiful terrace ideally exposed to the south and the east, a peaceful and natural panoramic garden replenishing, as well as hammocks, deckchairs, tables and corners ventilated under the trees.
