  Acomodação

  A private camping spot with access to an indoor bathroom. You would eat dinner with the family most days, and take care of cooking your own needs for the other meals.
  
  For breakfast, everyone generally fends for themselves. During the summer, we all eat lunch together as a family. We have dinner together as a family, at home, most days of the week.
  
  We would love to share this meal with you. When sharing a meal together is not possible, food ingredients will be provided for you to make your own meal.
