Su ubicación

Es difícil explicar todo lo que estuvo mal! Se puede resumir en muy mal estado sus instalaciones comunes!

Auberge très sympa, grande et avec un accès direct à la plage. Suffisamment de sanitaire et ambiance calme.

Seul bémol, la fenêtre de la chance ne pouvait pas rester ouverte (J'ai réussi à la maintenir ouverte grâce à un bâton) ce qui a impliqué une extrême chaleur dans la chambre la nuit malgré le ventilateur.
