The house

Officially rated 4-star holiday home

Un air de famille is a recently renovated semi-detached villa, designed for holidays with family or friends. It opens onto a terrace and a south-facing enclosed garden of about 700 m², where children can play safely. Back from the beach, a ground-floor shower is directly accessible from the garden.

It sits on a quiet street in the centre of Ambleteuse: the beach, shops, restaurants and playground are all within walking distance. In the evening, everyone gathers around the wood fire.
