Every day our choices in terms of purchases, management and organization have consequences that involve risks and benefits for the environment and for people. Aware of this, we constantly strive to analyze our actions and habits critically, trying to improve.

On this page we tell you about the initiatives that we have implemented and that we plan to reduce the environmental impact of our facility and therefore, consequently, of your holiday.

Here they are:

Energy sources

• we use 100% certified electricity from renewable sources, all our electrical utilities such as air conditioning, laundry, kitchen etc. are therefore zero CO2 emissions
• our air conditioning system is equipped with a heat recovery system that allows us to recover part of the heat produced in the summer. This energy is used to heat the sanitary water, avoiding the use of methane gas and the related emissions.
• heating for most of the year is guaranteed by an electric heat pump system powered by 100% electricity from renewable sources.

Energy saving

• all the windows of the rooms in the historic building are equipped with new high-performance windows (triple glass, low emissivity with transmittance Ug = 0.7 W / m²K)
  all the other windows use at least double glazing with thermal cut
• the light sources use almost exclusively LED technology
• any lights and electrical appliances that have been forgotten to be turned on are automatically disconnected when the guest is not present in the room
• the rooms are equipped with intelligent thermostats that automatically adjust the air conditioning based on the presence of guests in the room, ensuring maximum comfort and reducing waste
• the windows of the rooms have sensors that, when left open, interrupt the air conditioning

Waste collection and reduction

• we collect and dispose of waste separated into plastic, glass, paper and organic waste as required by the Municipality of Garda
• we choose products and supplies also based on packaging, favoring those that offer returnable or recyclable packaging
• all fruit and vegetable packaging are collected by their respective suppliers and sent for recycling
• the chlorination products for swimming pools are supplied in bulk in liquid or solid form and stored locally, thus limiting the use of disposable containers (tanks, etc.)
• we use guest bathroom product bottles (detergent, shampoo, etc.) with a capacity suitable for medium-long stays, which can be refilled if necessary. This has drastically reduced the
• production of waste due to small disposable plastic bottles.

Ongoing actions

• we are extending to all rooms and all common areas the presence of baskets and containers with multiple compartments in order to increase separate waste collection also with the contribution of guests

Detergents

• the cleaning products are produced on site from concentrates and distributed in reusable bottles
• our internal laundry uses automatic detergent dosing systems using only the necessary detergent and avoiding waste due to manual dosing or aggressive washing typical of industrial laundries
• the detergent tanks in the laundry are returnable and are collected by the supplier

Reduction of emissions

• all linen, towels, table linens etc. are washed in our internal laundry therefore without emissions for transport to and from an external laundry

Measurement and certification of emissions

• We have carried out the measurement of the carbon footprint according to the Clorofil program and defined our reduction target for the coming years.
