Green Hotel
“…protecting the environment is the first act of love for our neighbors”
In all phases of our business, from the hotel building to the daily management, eco-sustainability has always been one of our main objectives.
We want to extend the concept of sustainability: every daily action is not just about respecting the environment but respecting the well-being of all living things.
We act in the awareness of an economic development compatible with the environmental protection, an improved quality of life, equal rights and the preservations of cultural heritage.
Solar Energy
Clean, safe and inexhaustible, using solar energy with photovoltaic and solar panels installed on the roofs, the Hotel generates most of its energy needs fully respecting the environment.
Plastic Free
For years now, we have been doing everything we can to drastically reduce the use of plastic in the Hotel:
- We stopped using disposable plastic water bottles, by installing a water filtration and carbonation system that delivers water in glass customized bottles.
- We committed to choosing low environmental impact products, reducing plastic packaging, not using single use packages and having reusable dispenser for the beauty products.
Green Area
Our Hotel is surrounded by nature, every day we take care of our gardens, plants and trees and we are rewarded with magnificent colors, cool shade during the summer and fresh air to breathe far from the big cities pollution.
Our irrigation system uses only zero environmental impact water sources: drawing the water from a well and using a rainwater collection system.
