OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Our philosophy: Being an independent small business, we understand
our role and responsibility in environmental and social causes.
With this in mind, we have made a pledge to always think local and keep
the environment as an integral part of our calculation during our
decision making process.
Water is a precious resource that we are committed to conserving. We have adopted practices aimed at reducing our water consumption, such as:
​
Water-saving equipment: Installation of water-saving devices on all faucets and showers in guest rooms and public areas.
​
Water system maintenance: We regularly conduct checks to detect any leaks and minimize water waste.
​
Guest awareness: We encourage our guests not to change their towels and sheets every day, in order to reduce the number of washes and therefore water consumption. Housekeeping is optional and available at an additional cost.
Responsible Use of Water
Energy Consumption
Energy represents one of the largest items in our consumption. We are implementing concrete actions to reduce our energy footprint and monitor our energy consumption:
​
All of our energy demand comes from renewable sources
​
Optimizing energy consumption: We have installed LED lighting systems in all rooms and common areas.
​
Reducing energy consumption: We have implemented a regular maintenance program for our heating and air conditioning systems to ensure their energy efficiency.
Waste Management
Waste management is essential to reduce our environmental impact. We have implemented a selective sorting and recycling program in our apartments.
​
Waste sorting: Recycling bins are installed in all guest rooms and common areas.
​
Waste reduction at the source: We prioritize bulk products, recyclable packaging, and reducing the use of single-use plastics (glass water bottles, shampoo and shower gel dispenser pumps, etc.).
​
Awareness and training: Our staff is trained on best practices for waste management, and we encourage our guests to actively participate in waste management during their stay.
​
Responsible Purchasing
We are committed to supporting ethical and responsible purchasing practices.
​
Local and seasonal products: We prioritize local suppliers for our food products, as well as products from organic or sustainable agriculture.
​
Eco-friendly product choices: For cleaning and maintaining our rooms, we use eco-friendly products that are certified non-toxic and environmentally sound.
​
Environmental criteria in our purchasing: We integrate environmental criteria into our purchasing decisions, striving to reduce the carbon footprint of the products we buy.
Biodiversity Preservation
We are committed to preserving local biodiversity and adopting environmentally friendly practices.
​
Ecological maintenance of outdoor spaces: Our green spaces are maintained without harmful chemicals. We prioritize the use of local, drought-resistant plants to reduce our water consumption.
​
Protection of local wildlife: We raise awareness among our guests about preserving local flora and fauna by implementing educational programs on the surrounding ecosystems and encouraging sustainable tourism practices.
Employee involvement and customer awareness are key elements of our environmental approach.
​
Informing guests: We inform our guests about our environmental policy through displays in guest rooms and at reception, and we provide them with information on eco-friendly practices to adopt during their stay.
​
Ongoing staff training: All our employees receive regular environmental training to raise their awareness of the importance of environmental preservation and the application of best practices within the company.
​
Encouraging the use of sustainable transportation: We encourage our guests to use public transportation, carpooling, or cycling by providing local information on alternative transportation options.
​
We are constantly evaluating our impact and continue to evolve our commitments. We believe that it is common practice to do as much as possible to reduce our environmental impact. Think global, act Local!
