The Refuge of Senetosa is located in the municipality of Sartène and is the property of the Conservatoire du Littoral. It is managed by Syndicat Elisa under the convention for the delegation of management of 3 December 2018. It is accessed by the sea or by the coastal footpath from the villages of Campomoro and Tizzano.

The refuge is equipped with a kitchen area, a dining room, collective and individual bathrooms and pit toilets. The distribution of water in the showers and washbasin depends exclusively on the available stocks.
On the site, only the supply of beverages is possible. It is essential for customers to provide their own food.
The refuge is open every day from mid-April to mid-October (information concerning the precise opening and closing dates are available on the refuge’s website or Facebook page). During this period, one or more keepers are present on the site. Outside of this period,
